Not a numbered, lettered or presentation copy - simply a very nice little book! Could be classified as 'out of series', I guess.

[olverts]

Congratulations Michaël !

I originally saw this set on this forum, did a little digging and found this set for a really good deal. Bad part is that I got a good deal because this set doesnt have the slipcase. Oh well, they are still really beautiful books.

[Garrell]

Still very nice:)

[Garrell]

VERY!!!!!!!!!!!

[oy-the-brave]

VERY cool :cool:

[biomieg]

That is so great, James! Congratulations! And Stevohump, nice work. Several people have found a set after I posted the pic some time ago, now I have to go and find one myself. By the way, when are you going to set up a Collection Thread?

[Room 217 Caretaker]

That is out of this world. I really do enjoy his stuff. A Shining theme on top of that.

Congratulations!

Awesome James.

[Tito_Villa]

What an amazing painting, Glenn does some great work!

[wizardsrainbow]

AWESOME is too weak of a word...searching for something stronger! LOL

[Cook]

Haven't posted pics in awhile but had to show my latest P&J's (2)
S/L "It" , special thanks to CD for #79
S/L S&S "11/22/63" , special thanks to.... nobody (what a pain in the ass), but I did get one.
I'll post signature pages later in my collection thread, still waiting for 2 more special items to arrive. (figured I'd snap more pics when they're all here)

[biomieg]

Looking good. I see several books I'd like to have! And a great display of MOTH.

[Garrell]

Very jealous:)

[Ben Staad]

Looks great, Cook! Your copy of Moth looks like it's in wonderful shape.

[wizardsrainbow]

Nice display!

[EXPLORER]

Looks great, Cook! Your copy of Moth looks like it's in wonderful shape.

Yes...it is a nice copy with nice signature.... I saw that a few months back.

[tippy4]

Be careful...the weight of the UTD and 11/22/63 may leave an impression in your IT traycase if it left like that over time.

[Cook]

Tippy4,
Thank you very much for the advice, I really didn't take that into consideration when I rearranged everything this morning. I've been trying to figure out a way to arrange the extra large books to prevent sag.
Also.. Thanks to all for the nice comments on my new P & J's

[Ari_Racing]

AMAZING PAINTING! :) Congratulations!

And congratulations, Cook! Great display!

[Jimimck]

Thanks guys.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Excellent, Cook Very impressive display. I like Moth being the center like that

[tippy4]

So this is not a NEW pride and joy.....I've actually had it since 1977....but I have not seen it in years and thought it was lost. I found it today while going through a box of keepsakes.

When I was six years old, my grandmother saw an article in a Chicago newspaper that Warner Bros. was looking for a boy with a midwest accent for a new movie they were making called The Shining. So, she sent my picture in, and I received a letter for a casting interview.

According to the below article, I was one of 300 that were called in.

http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/561/shinningarticle.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/192/shinningarticle.jpg/)

Here is the letter from Warner Bros.:

[TwistedNadine]

Did you go in for the audition?

[tippy4]

I did...but don't recall much about it. Just going into the city (we lived in the suburbs), and meeting some man who asked me some questions.

Verry cool story, tippy. Thanks for sharing!

[Jimimck]

That is so cool! Awesome connection to the story!

That's really great, tippy! A wonderful story!

Received in December or the first week of January:
IT - Limited Edition
The Big Book of Necon - Deluxe Artists Edition
11-22-63 - UK Limited Edition
Thinner - Proof w/letter
Gerald's Game - advanced copy with cardboard slipcase
My Pretty Pony - trade
Wizard and Glass - Grant Trade
The Drawing of the Three - Grant Trade
Song of Susannah - Artist Edition
The Green Mile - Gift Edition
J. N. Williamson's Illustrated Masques - Limited Edition

Now this isn't a gold mine of books, but for me this is probably the biggest haul of King book that I have received in a month period in about 4 years. The last 4 years I've been selling, not buying. So it feels good to get new books and some old books that I sold a few years ago that I now have back in my collection.

I just received my "IT" gift edition back from the very talented artist Erin Wells. I have to say that after doing a solid for a buddy here on the site, they returned the favor and hooked me up with this remarque from Erin. I can't thank this person enough, as the drawing is awesome. So to "you know who" and Erin, THANKS. :dance: :nana: :dance:

I will agree about the turnaround time. Erin also kept me well up to date during the whole process which earns some extra stars in my book.

GREAT... that's JUST what I wanted to see before heading out to walk the dogs in the dark! Well, I'll see you guys later... assuming I make it back! ;)

Brian

[Jimimck]

That just makes an already awesome production so much better!
So cool - well done.

[Ricky]

And Tim, you should totally think about making copies and hanging them in your kids' rooms. :lol:

[Ben Staad]

And Tim, you should totally think about making copies and hanging them in your kids' rooms. :lol:

LOL! I actually think they would like that. They both proudly wear their bright yellow "I'm loving IT" t-shirt fury shirts all the time.

P.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about I will try and snap a pic of them in their shirts this weekend.

[Shannon]

Mr. Ben Staad, that is one great remarque. Ms. Wells does yet another fantastical job. I heart her. :)

[Garrell]

My new P&J is something in my heart that is equal or better than any book I can ever own...
Alabama Crimson Tides #14.... National Championship...watching it with my father:) A priceless memory!!!!!!!!!!!
No photos (and there are some). None needed, my heart soars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cook]

Congratulations Garrell,
Glad you got to share that with your father.

Congrats with the win!

After saying that, this was the first year I did not watch a single college bowl game. The first time ever this has happened. But I think I've gotten to the point where I think the bowls are just a waste of time. With no playoffs it keeps getting harder every year to take college football seriously. Boise State which arguably could have beaten any of the teams in the BCS games was regulated to play Arizona State who was 6-6. Get real, College football is just all about money.

[Robert Fulman]

My last Christmas gift was an Amazon.com gift certificate that I spent on the signed limited edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' romantic play "You Lucky Girl!", published by Grant Books in 1999. Part of the reason I like "The Waste Lands" so much is Ned Dameron's superior artwork, and that's the primary reason I decided on this particular book.

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/548/021guh.jpg

I really like his bold signature, as well. (The ERB "signature" is actually a stamped fascimile; he died in 1950):

Here is a sample of pencil drawing art style in the book:

[Shannon]

Very nice! I've always been a fan of Mr. Dameron. :)

[Robert Fulman]

By the way, if people aren't aware, a significant number of Grant books are available on Amazon.com (sold by Amazon, not in the Marketplace), usually at 25% off list price. I feel a little bad about not ordering direct from Grant, but the discount and free shipping are hard to resist.

Amazing new P & J's fellas.

Tom, your book project sounds great.

[carlosdetweiller]

So, AKC, do you have plans to display it attractively or will you put it back in its box like most of the rest of us do? Seriously, congratulations. It is a great book. When I got one of mine out to photograph the battery changing steps it reminded me again what excellent quality materials went into making it. Its just so darn big and heavy.

[Dolso]

AKC ~ Congrats!! I've never had the chance to see one of those.... you say it's massive - how does it compare to the numbered 'Knowing Darkness'? Larger, smaller, about the same???

Tom - Tell us more about your project - what do you have up your sleeve??

I (we) must find a way to display this. It is an absolutely beautiful production and the quality of the material is second-to-none. I've seen the pics of your display area, you've got room right on the top of several bookcases! We just need to find a stand or some other contraption to hold it up!

It absolutely deserves to be displayed!

Thanks for the feedback. Can't wait to get the entire collection together and start my collection thread.....

[Tito_Villa]

Tom - Tell us more about your project - what do you have up your sleeve??

Well i have been writing on and off for the past 14 months or so (the doc said it might help with the depression) and have completed 125,000 words of a novel but that was getting, i don't know, big and i felt i needed time away from it to make sure that i did justice to the final quater. So i decided to write a smaller story and i came up with one that is approx 16,000 words called 'The Cows Are Coming'.

My girlfriend and her friend are completing the final edit at the moment and Glenn has kindly completed the artwork, so i thought why not make a few hard copies. There is a printer in the town that i live in that i think will do a good job and then i will give them out to friends, maybe ask for a donation towards the Haven Fund!?

[Shannon]

Make it a signed numbered edition and Shannon will buy one. :)

Congratulations!

[carlosdetweiller]

Nice one, Jeremy!

[Shannon]

I want a French proof! How do I get on that list!? :) Congrats!

[herbertwest]

I think that french proofs are only a 'handful'. I asked the publisher if he could tell me how much they are printing of those, still no answer.

So far i got a french proof for every single publication since Duma Key.
That means :
- Blaze
- Duma Key
- Just after sunset
- Dome (2 books)
- JAS

I am still pissed off that i missed a french proof of BAG OF BONES off ebay about a year and half ago. It didnt appear in my alerts...

Not MY acquisition, but it's still in the family.

My girlfriend moved out from Scotland two years ago to join me in France, and more precisely in Paris. She is looking for a job in fashion.
Although it's not a job in fashion that she got (so far), it's still promising :

- First, i did revamped and redesigned her website.. to be more "PRO" : http://www.lauramoodley.com/ Online since last week, perfect timing for :
- HER FASHION AWARD ! Last night there was a fashion show & contest organised by a recruitment agency in luxe/ fashion.
She WON THE AWARD (Grey Fashion Awards), among about 40 contestants and yesterday there were 5 collections being shown !

I hope that it will open her new opportunities! Yesterday afternoon, some people already offered her to buy her collection.
If anyone is interested, someone shot a video and did put it on youtube (my pictures were unfortunately rubbish, but we should be getting professional pictures from the journalists!)

Bought this for $40 on Alibris; the listing had an off-hand comment about a remarque so I took a shot:

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4564/042do.jpg

It smells a little smoky, but nothing a little baking soda can't help with.

[Ben Staad]

Congrats Mr. Fulman! That is a very sharp looking remarque.

Nice buy, Robert. Remarque looks great!.

I already had a nice copy of THINNER but not with the belly band.

[carlosdetweiller]

Nice looking copy of THINNER, Michael. It looks brand new.

[Tito_Villa]

Congrats to everyone for some great books!

[biomieg]

Thanks, Bob. According to the seller, it was bought new when it came out and read once (by him) and he clearly took good care of the book. He has an equally nice copy of NIGHT SHIFT for sale but that one's too expensive for me right now. Starting bid $800, with reserve (his reserve price is reasonable, by the way).

NIGHT SHIFT auction link (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Night-Shift-Stephen-King-Hardcover-First-Edition-/290658536904?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item43ac994dc8)

He has other nice Doubleday books as well.

[jhanic]

Nice one, Michaël. Congratulations!

John

[olverts]

Congratulations John on the signed Full Dark !

Always happy to help Michaël ! It really does look new .

[biomieg]

I wish I could buy his NIGHT SHIFT. That one looks like new as well... but > $800 is not an option for me.

[olverts]

You could always sell your Firestarter proof to me :)

[biomieg]

For > $800? Let me think about it...

[olverts]

Oh no not $800 :)

[carlosdetweiller]

I think it was RF who alerted the forum to this unusual item on eBay a few weeks ago. I bought one and after our stellar postal service creased the first one I now have a nice copy. It is a repro of the photo shown at the end of Kubrick's version of THE SHINING. I have no idea what I will do with this (no more room to hang stuff on the walls) but I do like it and it is one of my favorite scenes from the movie. Pretty nice quality photo with good detail. I like it.

With and without flash.

That I know of there are only three that I don't have:

The Waste Lands,
Kull, and
Black Colossus (of which there might not even be a signed edition).

[Randall Flagg]

Face in the Abyss has some of the most incredible artwork. Is yours the S/L?

[Robert Fulman]

Yes, #356/375. The slipcase is fairly plain, so I left it off to the side.

I won this on eBay.co.uk last week. It seems to be the scarcest book of this series of Doubleday reissues. Now, I'm not sure what to do. Should I keep it and get the other books as well, or should I sell it to someone who needs this book more than I do?

[Randall Flagg]

Keep it and tease the people looking for one.

[herbertwest]

I have been told that the print run of the french proof (of FDNS at least), should be of 250 copies. I wonder if this is the print run of all the proofs... but it surprises me that it's so much, as i have only seen a few go for sale.
Except mine, i only know of 2 french proofs :
- 2 copies of BAG OF BONES, with the reprint of King's letter on the cover. 1 is owned by a friend, the second one... i totally missed the ebay listing !
- 1 copy of BLAZE, that i bought off ebay.. and recieved it damaged : someone at the post office had used a knife or something to check my package and it got quite damaged...

[DanHocker]

I think you'd be surprised at how many proofs end up in the trash. A lot of people in the industry are fairly oblivious to what some of these things are worth.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Keep it and tease the people looking for one.

Wow. That was my first though as well. Post it once-a-week to wind them up.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I think you'd be surprised at how many proofs end up in the trash. A lot of people in the industry are fairly oblivious to what some of these things are worth.

I totally agree. 90% of proofs are binned after 30 seconds of scanning by the reviewers.

Hey Secret Santa, Christmas give-away guy otherwise known as Scott landon.
I am very impressed and incredibly appreciative. The book is more than I expected and the fold-puts -- what can I say. I spent the entire afternoon last Saturday VERY carefully looking through everything. Each picture is a journey through the memories of the books I've read and enjoyed so much. By the care you took in packing and sending the slip-cased "Knowing Darkness" I can tell you are a "gourmand" of books and collections. I'm not sure what motivated you to give away this item but I am very glad and look forward to "paying it forward". I never considered myself particularly lucky but in this case -- WOW!
Thank you very much.
Richard

This is a picture of the gift book I received from Scott Landon... seriously humongous !!

Great Job!!! :clap::clap::clap:

[becca69]

Yes, I've seen your collection. Wonderful!!

I would love to have a first printing set of all the books. Lolololololol! That will never happen but this book is so beautiful and feels divine! and I got it for $30 so it was worth it. Got Feast for a great price too! The Hobbit I'm waiting on is the UK deluxe edition. Hope it's nice too.

Nice !

Today i recieved ROAD RAGE #1, to be published on the 15th of february.

[Robert Fulman]

So, I bought the limited edition of a book called "The Constitution of the United States of America" by Sam Fink. The book is actually a collection of 65 prints on very heavy paper contained in a traycase. The limitation page is on of the prints contained in the lid of the traycase:

http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/1166/055rb.jpg

Here is one of the prints:

http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/4994/054ho.jpg

And here is the closed traycase, next to what used to be my largest book:

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/826/056vw.jpg

The list price is $500, but I bought it new on Amazon for $27 last week. That must have triggered something, because some time in the last week they raised the price to $382 (http://www.amazon.com/Constitution-United-States-America-Limited/dp/1599620162/). It's too bad, because I was planning to buy more, but I wanted to check out one before I bought a bunch.

[Robert Fulman]

Also, I bought three books from PS Publishing's 3-traycases for 50 pounds promotion. I asked if I could request titles, and they told me to name 6 and they's try to pick three from there. The three titles I got were:

http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5453/057uuu.jpg

In case anyone is wondering, they list Horns by Joe Hill as available in the promotion (and their inventory system says they still have 23 of them), but I would go with the assumption that they won't be sending out many/any of them.

(My first four traycases, all in one day :) )

[George at C-Springs]

And here is the closed traycase, next to what used to be my largest book:

http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/826/056vw.jpg

What the hell are you going to do with that thing? It must weigh 50 pounds, easy! That is one big ol' honkin traycase!!!!


http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/4994/054ho.jpg

Hey, don't know why but the minuteman running reminded me of the old Schoolhouse Rock "We the People" cartoon .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30OyU4O80i4 ... everybody sing along, you know you know it !!!!! Minutemen at 59 seconds!

I was trying to decide if I wanted to go with this deal or the 8 book grab bag for £35. I see Horns listed as well, but I agree with you that they probably would not send that one out too often.

My girlfriend not so hot on shirt, but loves my button. That may be the only SK thing I own that she has liked, hehe.

That is a book that I have always wanted.

[carlosdetweiller]

Micheal,
Did you get that UK paperback of 'SALEM'S LOT from an eBay seller? I was watching one recently but the auction ended early and I didn't get a chance to bid on it. Did you get that one?

[Ben Staad]

Great new P&Js everyone. The remarques look awesome and I love the new proofs.

[biomieg]

Bob, that must be the one. I inquired about shipping to Europe and the seller offered to do business outside eBay (he sold it to me through his own webstore, Captain Ahab's Rare Books). I only recently decided to look for nice copies of the early paperback 1st printings and I was lucky to find this one.

I found the Signet CARRIE on ABE for $17!

[carlosdetweiller]

Yes, you were lucky. I don't think I had ever seen that one before. But I have never really looked. Anyway, congrats. I was going to bid on that one.

That is very cool!

[biomieg]

Thanks, guys. Now I need to find the UK CARRIE and US 'SALEM'S LOT paperback 1st printings in equally nice condition! (And the other early books).
