Terry, when are you going to take it for a spin.. out to California?

i would, but....
the gas tank didn't grow (still an 11 gallon tank) - but the motor tripled in size.
I went from 32 MPG with the 4 banger to 10-11 MPG with the V8

I can just about make it to the end of the block before needing a fillup.
might take a while to get to cali.

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations all!

[CRinVA]

Well my new P&J is not a shiny sportscar nor is it snazzy original art, BUT it is important to me and my collecting goals.

A long time ago I decided that getting all the S/Ls was way out of reach and that any item I got was just a bonus to my collection. What I decided I really wanted to complete was a total First Edition Collection. I am almost there. As far as King Written all I need is a 1st Edition Salem's Lot - I am just not prepared to pay the current going price!

Also I do not have the first 4 Bachman paperbacks. Well now I have one of them. It may not be in the best condition but suitable for me and at a teriffic price in my opinion. I got this for $12.

Bob, that was a great buy! Congratulations!

Nice books, guys!

LOL, yep and it is a great store:) George's packing was awesome. Thought I ordered a loveseat when it got here, hehe.

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, Bob and Garrel!

[Robert Fulman]

I assume "Bob" is me. To add to the P&J-ness of my new book, I should point out that Robert Fulman is my fake forum name (like the initials?), and that the third photo shows that George inscribed the book to my real-life name :)

[Patrick]

Nice inscription, Robert Mike.

[Ricky]

Nice copy of The Running Man, Bob! For $12, ANY condition is a steal.

[jhanic]

I received my set of four prints of the covers of CD's Full Dark, No Stars today. They are signed and dated (16 6 2011) by the artist, Tomislav Tikulin. Unfortunately, they are too large for my scanner, so no pics.

John

[Jimimck]

That's cool John. I think it is really cool how CD have provided those prints from the covers. I'm hoping they will do something similar with the artwork for IT.

[oy-the-brave]

Here is the painting I have been waiting for it is by Zach McCain and it is big 20 X 30 and I think it's beautiful.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/rolandjakeoyfinal.jpg

Sorry for my lack of camera skills.

[Shannon]

Oooooooooooooooh, I love it! Did he paint it for you or was that in a book somewhere?

[oy-the-brave]

Oooooooooooooooh, I love it! Did he paint it for you or was that in a book somewhere?

No I requested that scene and He found a way to do it different than Michael Whelans and the commission I had done by Alan M Clark and it is my favorite of the 3 paintings. Zach is big DT fan and was very nervous about doing the scene justice but I think it's perfect.

[Patrick]

Congratulations, Dave, that is beautiful!

I agree that one of the cool things is that it doesn't remind me of Whelan's interpretation.

[Tito_Villa]

Wow thats incredible!

[carlosdetweiller]

Very nice, Dave. Congratulations!

[Room 217 Caretaker]

Oh my!

That is fantastic.

Mulleins

[biomieg]

That is one awesome piece of artwork!

[Randall Flagg]

It is a great piece.

[Ric]

Beautiful piece Dave!!!

So, after the discussion in my collection thread about this book I thought that maybe I may have been too harsh in my decision. So after mulling it over serendipity showed its face and I came across an amazing opportunity to obtain the item in question for what I feel was an incredible deal. So thanks to Jerome and co. for lighting the fire.

So, with that being said, here's my latest P&J:

[TwistedNadine]

Really spectacular. Congrats!

[herbertwest]

Very nice!

Today i recieved a proof for the french version of the upcoming Joe Hill's HORNS in september :-)

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations all!

Again, J, I can't believe the huge delays in France to publish the books. Horns it was published in spanish almost a year ago. Isn't a way to complain to the publishers in order to speed up things a little?

[herbertwest]

I dont think that i mentionned it : a few years back i've found the only french limited book (the green mile 1, with a fac simile of Stephen King's signature : only 300 copies) at 0,90€. It did cost me about 4€ including the shipping.

Back at the time i did recently found about this book and was hunting for it. I've found an offer saying that it had the signature, and the guy was asking 0,90€ for it... because the book (normal edition) is pretty common
I couldnt believe that the seller did know that the book had a signature and was only asking this price. i guess that he noticed all the other items for sale (about 200) and then realised it would never sell...

Later on i found other copies, and the price were way more expensive! 200€ for instance.

[herbertwest]

Yeah i know... here in France, the publisher waits for the book to be actually published before starting the translation.
Then it requires the translating time, the producing... so...

DOME came out in march... FDNS is being translated just now, and i think that it will go on sale in march...

[Patrick]

Congrats, Ric! Don't you love it?

Interesting process, Dave. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, the French do take their sweet time.

[Shannon]

Love the process pics. Very nice, again! :)

[mcdonaldj]

Wow, that is the most compelling scene from my favorite S.K. book. I love the perspective.

[mcdonaldj]

By the way, I hope you don't mind - i saved a copy of the picture, awesome stuff.

[Shannon]

I first saw the illustration when CD announced the book, it was one of the sample images from the book. As soon as I saw it, I found and contacted Ms. Erin Wells to try and buy the original immediately, but she said she wanted to give everyone a fair share at her art, which I respect completely. I love it love it love it. :)

I'm running out of wall space! My living room is pretty rectangular, with one side full of movie shelves, another side full of bookshelves, another side is two large windows and the last side is where my TV and counter leading into the kitchen are. I have this Erin Wells art on the way now, and I have two more original art pieces on their way eventually (lol), bringing my total SK art up to four. Where the hell am I going to put them!? I would love an area like Bob's (carlosdetweiller) ... JUST books and art. One day.

Hmmmm, maybe if I kick my roommate out, I can put all my Stephen King stuff in her room. That's not a bad idea, actually, lol.

[Patrick]

Congrats on your new Erin Wells artwork, Shannon! :thumbsup:

[herbertwest]

I dont have any pictures yet, but yesterday i met someone to get... the french limited edition of FRANKENSTEIN, illustrated by Mary Shelley & introduced by Stephen King.
1/500, the only copy that i have ever seen.

[oy-the-brave]

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7133/p11lores.jpg

So happy. :)

Congrats on a beautiful drawing :drool:. I was going to snipe at the end but I got out of work almost 2 hours late so it was over by then. It is the best of Erin's art from the book (imo), just as well as I really can't afford it now.

Again very nice please post pics after you get it framed.

[biomieg]

Lovely artwork, Shannon! Congratulations! I would also like to have a room/basement like Bob has, and fill it with books and art. It will happen one day (although I won't come close to what Bob has). By the way: if you have two windows in the room where your books are, make sure that you avoid any direct light on your shelves. I know you know that, I'm just saying...

[carlosdetweiller]

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/7133/p11lores.jpg

There is a limited edition of 500 copies (as well as a lettered i believe). This isnt signed by King, but there is a "drawing" by Berni available on a "bookplate" as well as his siognature

[Garrell]

Very nice:) Love the art work.

[Shannon]

Thanks everybody ... Framing-wise ... I don't know. There might or might not be one more illustration from Erin Wells that I want, lol, and if I win that one, it will pair very nicely with this one, so I would do a double frame-type thing. I don't know anything about framing. But I should ... I anticipate lots of original drawings/paintings in my future. :) I like the fact that they are truly unique. You know what I mean? A real one of one.

Jerome, love the book. It's massive (that's what she said).

[Randall Flagg]

I think that framing more than one larger original (>~5"x7") could prove to be a "challenge". I'd love to see it done, but it seems to me that larger pieces should stand on their own. They could certainly be grouped together on a wall.

[Garrell]

Very nice:) Love the art work.
Was commenting on RF's book, already commented on the awesome IT art earlier.

[Cook]

Shannon... Very nice.
Congratulations on the art, seems you collection is going a different direction these days.

[Shannon]

Thanks. It has a life of its own, lol. But as of right now I am not buying any more new SK items for a while. I have about 75 items from one collector and two pieces of art from two other sellers that are on the horizon, but after that, no more! lol Gotta get my finances back in order.

[TwistedNadine]

1st/1st Desperation I received yesterday. I really like the inscription. Looking closer at the date, tho, I think thats a 99 not 97. Either way not yop but good inscription and book is fine (excuse the mylar - still cant do them right)

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/Deperation_Signed_001.jpg

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/Deperation_Signed_004.jpg

[carlosdetweiller]

Looks like a 97 to me. The trailing loop on the "g" in King is throwing it off.

[Tito_Villa]

Thats a real nice inscription, i love ones that incorperate parts of the story. I recently purchased a later printing of 'The Shining' - 'Stay out of room 217, and keep reading.

[TwistedNadine]

Looks like a 97 to me. The trailing loop on the "g" in King is throwing it off.

Think so? I zoom in and I cant tell where the "g" ends and the number begins. It does look like that can be a line crossing the number making it a 7

[Robert Fulman]

I guess the question I would ask would be, "Was King signing books in August of 1999?" This is less than two months after his accident, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't.

[Shannon]

Definitely a seven. I think I want a collection of inscribed books ... Doesn't even matter if they are firsts, as long as each book is inscribed to a different name and it's not just ... "To Tom, Stephen King". I want some words in the middle.

So far, I want a collection of first editions, a collection of flatsigned first editions, and now a collection of inscribed books. Throw in S/L (numbered), proofs, gift edition, artist editions, and that's a lot of the same title, lol. That's not even including foreign editions, which are sometimes soooo pretty, lol.

[Shannon]

Garrell, nice addition. :) When I was buying books like crazy, a lot of people asked me why I wasn't buying the Doubleday firsts ... It's because most of the time they are very expensive. And in my eyes ... when I weight spending a million dollars on one book ... or a million dollars on five books, I'll most of the time go with the five book option everytime, unless the one book option is something not readily available. The Doubleday firsts seem to be always available, just at a price. Anyway, whatever ... lol NICE ADDITION! :)

Here's the King pile:

That has to be camera glare at the top of Skeleton Crew and bottom of The Talisman because the books most definitely don't look like that on the shelf. I've decided to finally finish the US first editions collection. No plan for after that but I'm crafty when it comes to flushing money down the toilet.

Edit: here's another King related book. This isn't new to me but I didn't post it in my collection thread so here it is. The line up of authors is stellar.

The Legends II book is sweet. I actually just sold my copy a month or so ago (It's not the same copy though). I was sad to do it, but I needed the money and anything nowadays with George RR Martin in it commands about 3 times the price it did just last year.

Thanks, Eric! Two volumes for $55 is a bargain, too. Choices, choices...

[ELazansky]

I found Vol. 2 in Borders Books before they closed their store down for like $5. Then I saw it is part of a 2-vol. slipcased set. I haven't decided if I'm going to get the set or not, but they look like great stories from start to finish.

[WeDealInLead]

Lebbon is hit and miss when it comes to novels but short stories and novellas are excellent. Try the Fears Unnamed collection from Borderlands Press. It's his 'best of' IMO. His story in Four Rode Out is excellent too.

[Ric]

Last Exit for The Lost is another fantastic Lebbon collection. CD has it in a limited edition and it's a nice volume.

WOW! Congratulations!!! Awesome stuff!

[super sam]

VERY nice - Michaël. I really love those "precarrie" items. Me want...
I guess you "won" The breathing method from iowabob ?

[jhanic]

Very, very nice! Congratulations!

John

[biomieg]

Thanks guys! And Sam: yes, I got that one from iowabob. Did I 'outbid' you?

[TwistedNadine]

Congrats Ari and Michael. Very nice. Michael, I want that Fall 68 Ubris

[biomieg]

If I'm not mistaken you have one I need... wanna trade?

[herbertwest]

What is the book on the top left corner?
(congrats)

[biomieg]

The top two items are both Ubris issues, Jeremy (left is the Fall, 1968 issue with 'Strawberry Spring' and 'Harrison State Park '68'; right is the Spring, 1969 issue with 'Night Surf').

This also came with a promotional poster signed by the editor, Chris Van Allsburg. The poster is too big to fit in my scanner.

Thanks, Hannes!

John

[biomieg]

Good stuff! I like that cover.

[Cutter]

Congrats Bio & Ari!

All the gift editions at once - nice.

And the UK Breathing Method is a nice book to have since it's a hardcover. I sold a signed copy to someone here a few years ago. I kinda wish i had it back. :( Oh well... if I cried about every book I sold I would of drowned by now :)

[biomieg]

Yes, I remember you had a signed copy. It belonged to Chris Cavalier originally, didn't it? One of a kind, if you ask me.

[Cutter]

yes, it was from Chris' collection. And if I remember correctly I sold it for maybe $150 or so. A great price to whoever got it (I can't remember who it was).

[biomieg]

That was an amazing deal... (for the buyer)

[Niels]

@Bio : Do you have same additional pictures of the Spring 1969 issue of Ubris? Can't remember I've seen any pics of that one before.

[biomieg]

Niels, I'll take a few snapshots. It's too bad it has a bit of water damage (although it's only staining, no wrinkling). But I had never seen this one before either and I heard that this is the hardest one to find (I got lucky, it cost me only half the price of the other issue).

*edit: here are a couple of pics, it's really not very interesting (visually):

He's DonnanCastle on ebay or on Betts any of the items prefixed with a "D" are his. I bought a signed first edition Bachman Books from him that I had to return because the FFEP that was signed was half torn out of the book. He refunded me in full but did not disclose that "fact" in the initial book description.

That Carrie looks great though, congrats!

I can't speak for Ric's experience but mine was a seamless transaction - he added insurance, extra packaging, fast delivery and the book is exactly what he said it was. No problems whatsoever. Seems to be a pretty nice guy too. Yes, he's DonnanCastle on ebay. I don't think he has anything listed at the moment but I'd assume you could contact him there.

Sorry about your problem Ric -- I'm glad you got your money back!

[Ric]

He was very nice about the whole thing. I don't have any issues with him personally at all, just got a bum book. No biggie.

Thanks. Congrats for you also. I bought the same DT S/Ls as you did a month or so ago, together as well, that's funny. I love the double volume thing, you know? It's massive. Love it. The paper is great too, have you checked that out? I know, who cares about paper? lol, but it's cool. :)

Hey! Good to see it survived the trip! I hope you like it.

[biomieg]

I like it, WeDealInLead! And the last pic triggers my curiosity, I haven't heard them (I assume it's vinyl). I know we have a similar taste in music, so...

[WeDealInLead]

Yep, the two LPs are pretty raw hardcore, borderline powerviolence style. Confines to me sound like a later era Black Flag but little more straight forward. I haven't listed to the Put to death 7" and the Stab demo tape yet. Waste Management are from Boston and they try their best to capture that city's early vibe... stuff like Slapshot, Last Rights, DYS, SSD etc. Vaccine is a 5" record that somehow has 4 songs on it. Raw and violent stuff and VERY straight edge. Painkiller Records will have most of those bands in their audio section.

I haven't bought any records in a long time and all these came out at the same time so I went all out. There's a cool basement show here on the 30th and I'll probably end up going. Sons of Ishmael are playing a reunion show here and in Toronto. They're on Pushead's all time top 10 list. Their bassist teaches at a college here and we ended up going to see Neurosis two months ago. He had funny stories about Youth of Today and Gorilla Biscuits because he toured with them. I was extremely jelaous. Gorilla Biscuits doing hot knives in Amsterdam? Classic.

My band might play a quick 3 song set too. Our singer quit and the new guy knows only 3 songs. It'd be cool to see how he sounds in a live setting.

[biomieg]

Awesome! I haven't listed to true hardcore in a fairly long time (lately it's mainly been a bit more 'progressive' stuff like Burst, Tesseract, The Ocean and also some extreme death metal bands like Origin) so your post is definitely inspiring. I hope you get a chance to play a couple of songs, should be great!

Great that someone else here listens to death metal ! My favourite right now is Graveworm , a little more melodic than Origin .
Swedish band In Flames is a great band too

Hannes, be sure to check out Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries, my favorite Opeth albums.

[deadohsky]

Hannes, be sure to check out Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries, my favorite Opeth albums.

Good stuff. They are probably my favorite current band with Katatonia a close second. I was introduced to them with Blackwater Park. Those are great albums, one of my favorites would be The Moor although i adore all of their work. They are working on a new one titled Heritage supposed to be out sometime this year if i remember correctly. Have you had the chance to see them live? I'd highly recommend it, the best show i've been to.

As not to go completely off topic, my newest acquisition is And The Hippos Boiled In Their Tanks by Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs. Haven't had the funds recently to pick up any new King items; hell, i still need to get Full Dark, No Stars :(.

I didn't get a notification either... it just popped up on my doorstep a couple of days ago. big (very big) ... nice surprise.

don't have pics... lazy right now... but it basically looks just like the SOD1 lettered... matched cases, covers, etc... only my SOD 1 got missed in the lettering process...has a blank there... was supposed to be letter "N"
the SOD 2 got lettered correctly.

it's a big nice looking presentation... but a lot lighter than it's size would have you think it is would be... from it's size, it looks like it should have the weight of the big salem's lot limiteds - but it's a lot lighter.... must be all the short stories are lighter reading material ;)

Hi Everyone-

Time for a little show and tell. I've been away for awhile (say sorry) but I have not been idle. As owner of Betts, you can imagine that I see quite a few nice items, only to pass them along to a new owner. Well, I finally stopped a few of these items from traveling again outside of my home. A couple of these I have wanted for a very very long time and either could not find them at a reasonable price (a signed 1st edition UK Shining...I LOVE the DJ artwork!) or could not justify keeping them in my collection (Lettered Regulators). Plus I am over the moon pleased with the Night Shift traycases I got recently. Dick, your work is just amazing!. And finally, for years, I have had a nice collectible 1st edition US Shining but have always been looking for a superb copy. I finally found one and it came in a custom made traycase as well...all at a great price. So, I thought I'd share my recent Pride and Joys with you all. Now, on to the show.....................

UK Shining

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Shining_UK_1.jpg

Very early signature on this UK Shining

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Shining_UK_2.jpg

Regulators Lettered (with this addition, I now own a Lettered, a numbered S/L, the only prototype done of the S/L (1 of 1), a S/L UK Regulators/Desperation and a signed 1st edition US Regulators. Guess I need to find a signed UK edition now to complete the set.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Regulators.jpg

I bought 2 Night Shift custom traycases recently...Letters "B" (Children of the Corn) and "N" (Jerusalem's Lot). OUTSTANDING WORK!!

My signed 1st edition F-/F- Night shift looks great in the case

At long last, I found my virtually perfect copy of the Shining

It came in this rather nice traycase too!

Thanks John. I drove right past you on the 4th of July (assuming you were home). We drove to Michigan and bck the weekend of the 4th..I said hello to your exit off of 80/90 turnpike!

[Garrell]

Very nice stuff, voting the N case over the B, hehe:)

[jhanic]

You should have stopped by. We had a cookout--hamburgers, hot dogs, salmon and the accompaniments.

I love that UK Shining David. I have a book club edition of it, and seeing your copy really is an ispiration to get a 1st/1st.
Oh and I always love the Night Shift cases when I see when - just awesome!

[biomieg]

GREAT stuff, David, and awesome to have you back on the forum as well. And I just gotta ask: is it possible to see a few pics of the Betts Bookstore stash? I don't mean all kinds of detailed close-up pics, just one or two shots that give us an impression of The Stuff on the shelves (or wherever you keep it all).

[olverts]

Welcome back David !
Great new stuff

[Ben Staad]

Awesome additions David! I especially like the letter "B" Night Shift case ;). Congrats.

This weeekend I was fortunate to acquire two paintings by Robert Addison, the artist featured in my Second Coming prototype. This first painting is titiled Seven Oaks and was completed in 1972. It looks like the kind of place the Ghost Brothers of Darkland County might reside!

The second painting is titled Winter Morning and was completed in 1976. No SK tie-in but I think it is a nice image.

I'm not well versed in art but I love the use of light in both of these. I especially love the golden hues used in the second painting. The scene is very reminiscent of where I grew up in PA and brings back quite a few memories.

I really like those paintings! Nice additions!

The ARC ain't half bad either. :)

Thanks for your comments. To your observation, Robert Addison was a master of reproducing the relationship between light and shadow.

love those two paintings - are they watercolors?


good to see you back david... nice new acquisitions you have there.

Thanks Terry. They are egg tempera on board. Sight size is "20" x "36" on the gothic house and "24" x "32" on the winter scene which has some discoloration on the snow that will need repair.
