On his promo Germany Tour of - Blind - Heart-Shaped Box
30. 03.07 Hamburg, 31.03.07 Berlin, 02.04.07 München.

He signed some books. The German Publisher ´forget´ to make bigger promo. Only a few people come to
the 3 signing events to, at this time unknown Joe Hill. ONE of the signed mini Heart doodled books is new.

I received my copy of Legacies yesterday. As usual with CD they did a great job - It's full of full-color illustrations. :rock:

[frik]

Haven't come across one on eBay yet...I'd love to get my hands on one of these..

[ELazansky]

Well, I got my #1 wish list item today - I think between this, Legacies, and my recent Skeleton Crew, I'm done for a while...

The Regulators S/L

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Books/TheRegulators.jpg

Also got Rose Madder S/L, inspired by Patrick's beautiful collection of UK S/L editions

[thegreattim]

:drool: Loving your copy of Regulators... that is my number one S/L on my wish-list.

[Tito_Villa]

Some beautiful books on show!

[Randall Flagg]

Haven't come across one on eBay yet...I'd love to get my hands on one of these..

We might be auctioning one off for the fundraiser. Stay tuned.

[jhanic]

Congratulations, Eric. Which number/check did you get for The Regulators?

John

[ELazansky]

I got - #288 to Charles N. Brown - $12.00 Sub. to Locus

[thegreattim]

Nice! That's a pretty cool check.

[biomieg]

Not the most collectable copy (no slipcase, spotting on the front cover, and water damage to the back + the last couple of pages) but I'm glad I got it: #102/200.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_fcdqdPh-_A8/TTb6cFxYAqI/AAAAAAAAAq8/fVqU-qOXkwY/s512/domeUKproof.JPG

[jhanic]

That was a good buy, given the defects.

John

[biomieg]

I'm already thinking about the next proof that I'm going to get. Full speed ahead!

[shnnrc01]

was that one from abe books michael? it was there for a few weeks i think,im surprised it wasnt taken sooner considering the price,defects or not!

[biomieg]

Yes, that's the one. It was listed at a higher price (£90 I believe) but I made the seller an offer that I thought was reasonable and he agreed.

[Tito_Villa]

Congrats on another one ticked off!

Another new acquisition, again with some flaws (most notably the top part of the front cover - no, that's not a flag on top of the building) but also purchased for a reasonable price.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_fcdqdPh-_A8/TTg-GaNrMxI/AAAAAAAAArM/z-VikEN6y74/s512/shawshank.JPG

[frik]

I like it!
It's a harcover edition, isn't it?

sk

[WeDealInLead]

What edition is that? I like it a lot.

[biomieg]

It's a British large print hardcover. There's also one with the story 'The Breathing Method'. Both are pretty scarce and I think most (if not all) of them went to libraries. This is an ex-library copy too, hence the damage (caused by sticker removal of some kind).

[Brice]

Actually that one was published in the US. It is published by Thorndike Press in Maine. It is pretty scarce.

The one with The Breathing Method by Chivers Press was published in the UK.

I have to say, it is a fine looking book.

Maybe not fine enough for a twelve year wait (my wait was about four years), but fine nonetheless.

[jhanic]

I've said before that I'm not a great fan of Chadbournes' work, but I do like that one!

John

[biomieg]

The thing with Chadbourne is that his full-page illustrations, crammed with detail (like in the SOD volumes) can be a bit exhausting to 'digest'. But I really like his style and in my opinion it often 'shines' when he's doing drawings like these, on a neutral background.

Stephen King Carrie Publisher Schneekluth HC.

This is Stephen King´s first in Germany published book 1977.
The book in the middle is NEW in my collection. The cover from this book is very good.
Not easy to find, normaly most of the covers from Carrie Schneekluth are BAD/destroyd.

There was nothing to measure the value against (or potential value of this and I'm guessing it's most unlikely one will come up for sale any time soon) so I haven't a clue whether it was expensive or inexpensive. I paid over $350 for it but I'm happy with the price so that makes it a decent buy as far as I'm concerned.

I wrote to the Prime Minister, David Cameron, and his deputy, Nick Clegg to register my disgust at this outragous waste of the Defense Budget, at this time of severe cuts. This happened at the same time as they were ripping the wings off our Nimrod aircraft.

They phoned me back, saying that if I kept my mouth shut, I would get a Knighthood.

Too late though, as The News of the World had hacked my phone and the story is now in this Sunday's paper. The Defense Secretary will now have to resign.

Pity. I was looking forward to you all addressing me as, Lord Rabbit of Trickington.

I just got my own copy that was signed by the author during a special event held during the week of release. I'm not sure if all of these copies were signed, but I'm glad mine is:

I like the frame...not sure I am crazy about the turquoise matte.

[Tito_Villa]

I don't know i think that looks great!

[carlosdetweiller]

I got mine back from the frame shop last week.

I like the frame...not sure I am crazy about the turquoise matte.

It looks just fine. Did you pick it out or did you tell the framers to just come up with something on their own?

[tippy4]

I took it down to the frame shop, and the guy gave me some options.

He suggested the turquoise mat, because there is some turquoise in the print (in the arms and hands).

I had it framed at Michael's (a craft store chain), and it was $250 (and that was during their 60% off sale. I probably could have gotten it done cheaper elsewhere, but Michael's is close to my home, and the guy who worked on it has done framing for me in the past (my S/L Letter From Hell).

thats a good price for dolans cadillac,well done!

[carlosdetweiller]

Nice. I like that edition by Lord John Press quite a bit.

[olverts]

yes its really nice ,
i didn´t know it was that small , so when it finally arrived 1 month after i ordered it i thought they sent me an empty box :)

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

There has been a Dolan's Cadillac blue proof on ebay for 2 auctions which has not sold at a BIN of $180. I bet the seller would accept $150.

I just received a copy of a Hebrew trade paperback edition of Robert McCammon's Boy's Life from a colleague in Israel:

That's great.

[biomieg]

Very nice!! Do you have many foreign editions of Mr. McCammon's books? I like it that you have a very expansive collection of images with the bibliography on the website, even including the proofs.

Thanks! I do have a very large collection of foreign editions of McCammon's books. I need to update my shelves photos; I'll do that soon and will post them here.

I also finally took photos of another fairly-recent addition: the lettered edition of Mister Slaughter from Subterranean Press:

Nice! That traycase looks... robust (for lack of a better word in my non-native vocabulary).

[Patrick]

Just looked through the last four or five pages of this thread. From the guncase to the found The Stand to the two framed Insomnia prints to everything else too numerous to mention: Great stuff, everyone!

[herbertwest]

http://club-stephenking.fr/file/Mes-StephenKing-books/photo.JPG

[Patrick]

What is that, HW?

[biomieg]

I think it says 'Les adaptations de Stephen King'. And maybe, just maybe the first name of the author is Jeremy (but I really can't be sure, the pic is too hazy... but Jeremy did write a book on King didn't he?)

[herbertwest]

yep that's right.
It's the 1st copy of my book! "THE ADAPTATIONS OF STEPHEN KING"
it's about movie adaptations... but not only!

Printed on demand, and it will be available online when it gets validated. It requires 48h.

However, for now it is only in french... but i am considering translating it and adapt it to an international market..

[biomieg]

Great! Congratulations! Do you have something like a table of contents to share, so we can see what's in the book?

Oh and sorry for not replying to your PM some time ago... I totally forgot about it!!! Did you get someone else to bid for you?

[carlosdetweiller]

Congratulations on your book, Jeremy! It looks great.

[Stockerlone]

Congratulations !!! Hope also available as German translation ???

[herbertwest]

Great! Congratulations! Do you have something like a table of contents to share, so we can see what's in the book?

Oh and sorry for not replying to your PM some time ago... I totally forgot about it!!! Did you get someone else to bid for you?

Yeah, i will share it once it's official that the website did accept the book.
About the auction... no actually... i couldnt get it. The seller told me that they would put it back in auction... but i guess that they are waiting, and hopefully get more. That's a shame, it was goddam cheap! :-(


About a german translation : well... I wouldnt see any problem if a publisher contacts me to buy the rights to publish it in german.
So far my focus is about France, then maybe adapting it in english...

Oh and... let's say that i have more projects... including another one related to Stephen King...

[shnnrc01]

great stuff HW,well done.you must be really proud!

[thegreattim]

My copy of the Insomnia print. I got it back from the framer some time ago, but neglected to photograph until today. The frame job is not quite as elaborate or nice as Tippy's, but it was free, so I can't complain. It's nice to have a friend in the industrial framing business.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/HalePrint.jpg

[biomieg]

Looking good, Tim!! I still have to frame mine.

[thegreattim]

Also, the monstrosity on the right arrived two days ago from Subterranean. Peter F. Hamilton's epic space opera, volumes one and two respectively, of The Night's Dawn Trilogy.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/Hamilton1.jpg


Both are #52/500. I look forward to the final volume in the series, yet to be announced for pre-order.

[namelessnpoor]

That's very nice! I definitely need to get my Letters from Hell framed.

I had one before and it sat around forever unframed, finally sold it one day. Got this one already framed for a great deal in my opinion !! I think it is the only way i would ever have a framed one !

Thanks guys!

Flagg, I really like the look of your lettered Wolf's Hour. That's a rather handsome presentation. Have you had a chance yet to read the new novella?

No, I enjoyed the first published story, but have to now be careful to read the added material without putting any wear on the S/L.

[thegreattim]

I hear you. I only read my S/Ls very carefully now. I learned the hard way to make sure to have freshly washed hands (no matter how clean they were before) in order to remove the oils. My one and only lettered edition (albeit a very cheap one) has trace remainders of fingerprints in the cloth. It drives me insane.

[Patrick]

Congratulations on all the great additions to your collections the past few days, everyone!

HW, so what do you charge for a signed hard copy of your new book, including postage to the U.S.? :D

Tim, some of our members use those white cotton gloves when handling their collectible books. Something like this I believe: http://www.archivalmethods.com/Product.cfm?Productid=103&categoryid=42

[thegreattim]

Thanks for the tip Patrick! I'll think about it, but to be honest, I'm not sure I'm ready to... um... go that far. Yet. People already look at me strangely enough. :) I've just learned to wash my hand more often while reading them.

[biomieg]

Nice haul, Terry!! Check my post in the Collectible Classifieds thread (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?6468-Collectible-Classifieds&p=591547#post591547), I'm selling my proofs and there may be a few in there that you don't have yet...

My one and only lettered edition (albeit a very cheap one) has trace remainders of fingerprints in the cloth. It drives me insane.

Many years ago I had just gotten my first copy of THE PLANT (Part 1) in those funky green wrappers from Stu at Betts. I was really excited. For whatever reason I decided to smell it and stuck it up close to my face to get a good whiff. As I pulled it away I noticed that it had touched my nose and a small smudge of oil from my skin was now creating a small dark spot right in the middle of the front cover. I couldn't believe I had actually done that. My stomach started churning. Had I ruined it? Fortunately over the next several minutes (hours?) it dried and did not leave any residual darkening. Whew, that was a close one! Now, in addition to washing my hands, I am tempted to wash my face before handling any prized book. Heck, maybe I should just take a shower instead.

"I guess most of you remember that there is a lettered edition of my book on the way. Well, here is a taste of it.
This isn’t the finished version but something called “no tips” and what that is, is a lettered edition of the book without the signature page.
These “no tips” where used in a Grab Bag that Cemetery Dance sold and there where less than 12 done."

I really like this book.
Nice to have it signed!

[biomieg]

This is not meant as criticism in any way, I'm just curious. What does Lilja's book have to offer that you can't read on his website?

There are a couple of parts that are not from the website, but exclusive for the book (Black House & From a Buick 8 scripts review and projects, for example).

Paolo and Tobias Buckell jointly created the shared world and then each wrote a story in it. I was especially pleased to nab these as Paolo's contribution sold out in 2.5 hrs (in its limited state).

The leatherbound S/L's, matching number #51.

It's here! The gamble was most definitely worth it. Not sure if anyone remembers but I bought this last week and was going to pick it up in person. What happened was my passport expired ON the day of the auction and I had no other choice but to have it shipped. I bought this without seeing a single picture. All I had was the conversation with the seller and he seemed honest enough so I gave it a go. Also scored a S/L of The Eyes Of The Dragon but I listed that on eBay right away because of minor imperfections. Anyways, here are two pictures. The books feels unread.

I've made lots of new acquisitions lately...trying to decide what to keep and what to sell at Betts (ALWAYS a fine line to walk there, but 90% of the time it gets put up at Betts).

I got great deals on a matched set of Secretary of Dreams S/L (vol 1 and 2, both #61), A Salem's Lot Gift Edition in aftermarket traycase (impossible to find these days), a signed Shining (alas not a 1st but a very early edition), Lettered Green Mile with original artwork that I actually like (most I did not), several copies of signed FDNS among others.

For $100 you can maybe get a trade edition but I think the one you quoted is a lettered edition. Randall Flagg can correct me if I'm wrong.

If I can buy it from you e-mail me and let me know the price.
The reason I asked about the lettered one is because someone on ebay had one pictured for sale and then you get half down the page and find out it isn't the one pictured that is for sale but one of the $75.00 books 1 of 750. I went back and looked at the auction more carefully after seeing your post. Thank you.

[carlosdetweiller]

I waited and waited for my lettered THE WOLF'S HOUR to show up. Figured it was held up because of the winter weather. Finally e-mailed Subterranean Press. It seems that even though I had ordered and paid at the time of order they had not put me on the lettered list. Just a mistake on their part. They are sending me a PC copy of the lettered edition and $250 credit. I can't ask for more than that. I think that more than makes up for it and I'm happy with their offer. I'm still bummed, though, because I am not getting a "letter."

I'm sure RF will do a swap, $250 credit included.

Thanks, but I'll just be happy with what I'm being sent for now. If I feel I absolutely must have a lettered copy I'll get one in a year or so.

I haven't had a lot of SK Pride and Joy lately, but I though I'd share my latest non-SK P & J - American Gods by Neil Gaiman. This edition by Hill House has an extra 12,000 words not in the originally published edition. But, since they did not want the reader to damage the book, they issued a separated paperback Reader's Copy with the exact same text, along with some extra material that was not even in their S/L edition. Both books have the same limitation number. All of this won't matter when the 10th Anniversary Edition hits the shelves this summer with the extra text. Still awesome....

I picked this up on eBay the other day on an impulse for a pretty modest price. 10.5" x 14" (not including the matting) pencil sketch of Jill Bauman's painting titled "Wheel Of Fortune" from the Easton Press edition of THE DEAD ZONE. I always liked this painting more so than the others she did for the book. I'm not sure what I will do with it. But I do like it quite a bit.

The wheel has stopped on the number "19." I never really noticed that before. Did King mention the number 19 with any significance in THE DEAD ZONE? It's been so long since I read it that I don't remember at all.

There was no significance of the number 19 until King had his accident in 1999.

It has always bugged me that most people associate the number 19 with The Gunslinger. Nowhere in that book is the number 19 mentioned.

You are correct.

The only mention of 19 in Gunslinger is on the copyright page in front of 82 :wtf:

I got this today:

I ordered this before I decided to sell my proofs and although I will be happy to sell this one as well, it still is my new pride & joy (for the time being).


... any takers? :evil:

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations all! :)

[LostAlivE]

For $100 you can maybe get a trade edition but I think the one you quoted is a lettered edition. Randall Flagg can correct me if I'm wrong.

PS Nice avatar

Thank you I hope you don't mind me using it because I love this book and am very envious of you. I want one so bad and some how this year or next year I am going to get one for myself. Hopefully I will be able to get a deal like you did.

There is no number 19 significance in any of the first 4 Dark Tower Books.

Only 60?!?!?!?! COOL!! It sits right next to my limited ones and I'm super psyched about it. I don't have a lot of proofs really, so this is extra special for me.

Cemetery Dance is firing on all cylinders these days!! Love you guys!!

Good deal, congrats:thumbsup:
