This is easily my favorite ongoing thread on any message board. I love seeing everyone's new acquisitions. :)

Surely you must have a collection, Brian. :)

Actually, I have grown quite fond of "Oy", but thanks for the offer!!!! PW is pretty creepy, but Bad Penny has to be challenged a bit in the states!!! LOL

[Bad Penny]

Bill, old son, I'm challenged in more ways than you could possibly imagine :emot-roflolmao:

Having said that, I have a PW related project or two in the pipeline ... so ... hmmm ... keep up the great clown collecting work Stateside and I'll continue to keep up my part for the Aussie contingent :P

I know it is not King related, but I just wanted to share my newest purchase with everyone. The Artist's Edition of Born Again, which IMHO, is one of the top 3 comics mini-series ever. I took the pic next to the regular edition of Knowing Darkness. This is one large book. Each page is scanned from the original black and white pages from the artist. Truly a wonderful work:

I want to start by again thanking our good friend David at Betts for letting me know about this. He knows im a huge fan of Joe Hills and so informed me of the Neiba convention in Providence RI yesterday. I met him there and it was certainly a worthwhile trip! YES, he was signing and giveing out copies of his new book, not to be released until next summer. UNBELIEVABLE!!! i am sooooo happy to have gotten an inscribed to me copy with a neat doodle. Very happy!!!
here are some cool pictures.

http://i1117.photobucket.com/albums/k599/sgc1999/IMG_5930_zps4b7387b6.jpg

these are going to be VERY scarce. The publishers minions told us that this was actually a pre copy of the proof. there actually isnt an official proof yet to go out.
David over at Betts is selling his last copy i believe for $200 or best offer i believe. Keep in mind it was a very long ride in the middle of a work week to get there and there was a $125 admission fee for bookstore owners to get in so this is a more than fair price and im sure his last copy is not going to last long.
Anyway. just wanted to share my amazing experiance from yesterday with you all.
And oh ya, almost forgot he signed my 8 foot tall Locke and key poster from the viewing at comicon a couple years ago. Very cool time:)

[Ben Staad]

That is freaking awesome! Please share about the book if and when you read it. Congrats.

[Roog]

Now that's a nice experience :)

[Robert Fulman]

I've felt the need to do a little collecting in the last week or so (my need to buy books has a high negative correlation with my happiness at work). Purchased a handful of DMG books (there is something to be said for collecting things that can generally be had for $10 or so) and some Lawrence Blocks; I'll post a group photo when they get here.

Today I was a my favorite local book store, and they had pretty much every issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction from 1976 to 2000 for $1 each. I felt a little bad about breaking up the complete sets from 1978, 1980, and 1981 to get The Gunslinger for $5, so I also bought the complete set of 1977 issues (my year of birth) to make myself feel better.

[Jimimck]

$5 for the Gunslinger editions is a great deal.

[Robert Fulman]

Some of my new acquisitions:

[The Library Policeman]

Great stuff, folks. Congratulations!

[carlosdetweiller]

Finally found a nonfiction piece by King that I have been searching for for over 10 years. The June 4, 1984 issue of The New Republic. Neither expensive by any stretch nor necessarily highly sought after by collectors but I just couldn't seem to ever find a copy. Finally found this one on eBay by an Australian seller and got it today. I am about as excited to have this somewhat worn copy as anything I have gotten in the past year or so.

King and Michener wrote competing articles on their personal favorite to win that year's Democratic primary to face Ronald Reagan in the Presidential election.

Stockerlone - I can google this but thot I would just ask; does Fuck mean something different in German? Or are those magazines really called Fuck as in the English usage?

[Pasiuk57]

Bob
I got the same IT notification.

[Lauterer]

Fuck is multilanguage...^^ same in german!!:cowboy:

[Bad Penny]

So, then, the only unanswered question - was that the year of a single event, or is the author just being plain boastful? :emot-roflolmao:

Some infos about Reinhard Kleist´s FUCK.
Four young people in Berlin: A story about their dreams, desires, friendship and family relationship. It all explodes when the mysterious punk S. appeares in each of their lives. "Fuck" is not only based on autobiographical experiences. The book is loosely based on the saga of the Nibelungen, a famous german fairy tale.

[carlosdetweiller]

Not King related but perhaps some interest here since Glenn Chadbourne is so popular. I have stated that I don't care much for Chadbourne but I might be starting to change my mind, especially since I bought an original piece of art. Zach Powell of King's Way Press has recently published a deluxe illustrated edition of Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN. Chadbourne did some of the illustrations. It is pretty good stuff but I was absolutely blown away by one piece in particular called "The Bride." I was glad to see the original offered on eBay. The detail in the dress is amazing and I wish my photographic skills were better to do it justice. Anyway, I really like what Glenn did with this book.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/chadbournebride1.jpg

[Fsmdr]

That is a beautiful artwork, Bob. I think it's more a subject matter that is the underlying issue with Chadbourne's desirability of artwork. I'm sick and tired of seeing his zombies and rats.....

[Fsmdr]

Talk about shelf space.....I just received my lettered IT. Hurray!!.

Curious, I noticed that the first 3 pages of the book including the endpaper, are slightly attached together close to the binding. I certainly do not want to pry them apart. Anyone else have this issue?.

I got mine today too. I think what you are describing is the result of the process of "tipping in" the limitation page with the signatures. I assume they use some sort of glue or paste to stick the limitation page to the adjacent pages so that it will stay in place. If this is what you are describing then, yes, mine is the same.

[The Library Policeman]

Nobody posting any pictures of their lettered IT?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I got my Lettered IT yesterday. I checked the first 3 pages. Mine are fine. The slipcase has a bump though. It must have happened before it was packaged as the pacaging was fine.

[biomieg]

I received this little gem yesterday (pic is a stock photo, I'll update my collection thread with a photo of my own copy later this week). It came all the way from Australia as part of the great Pass On the Read initiative. Grant, you are a true gentleman!

http://www.cemeterydance.com/extras/wp-content/uploads/DSC03212.jpg

It's my turn to forward some goodies now. The first two members who send me a PM after 4 PM (Central European Time) today are in.

[Jimimck]

Ha! Your package got there before mine, and I'm only three hours away!
Awesome piece. You nailed it, Grant is one of the good ones.

[carlosdetweiller]

I got my Lettered IT yesterday. I checked the first 3 pages. Mine are fine. The slipcase has a bump though. It must have happened before it was packaged as the pacaging was fine.

The book and tray case are beautiful. My traycase also has a couple of slight imperfections but I think given the material used that is inevitable unless placed under a glass dome. I think that it will acquire rubs if and when it comes into contact with other books and traycases. Because of that I think that my copy is destined to be repacked and stored in a closet. It is a nice book though.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I actually prefer the book without the dustjacket. It shows the quality materials used in the process. Thanks go to CD for another great production.

Nobody posting any pictures of their lettered IT?

Brian already posted good pictures of IT lettered. Everyone else's is just the same.

A 567 page "new pride and joy" thread says different. :P

I mean how cool is this? I'm at a loss to really describe the grattitude I have towards Grant for such a generous offer...

[Ben Staad]

Awesome! Congrats to you and Cudos to Grant.

[The Library Policeman]

Wow. Congrats James and a wonderful gesture, Grant!

[Merlin1958]

"Pass on the read" is an awesome program and idea!!! I have had the privilege of both receiving and sending. Awesome, Grant!!!

[biomieg]

Great stuff! Congratulations, James. And kudos to Grant, for making James and me two happy campers.

[Bad Penny]

You're both more than welcome guys - the POTR program rocks, and I'm pleased these little guys have found good homes :rock:

[biomieg]

I received this little gem yesterday (pic is a stock photo, I'll update my collection thread with a photo of my own copy later this week). It came all the way from Australia as part of the great Pass On the Read initiative. Grant, you are a true gentleman!

http://www.cemeterydance.com/extras/wp-content/uploads/DSC03212.jpg

It's my turn to forward some goodies now. The first two members who send me a PM after 4 PM (Central European Time) today are in.

C'mon guys! I'm still looking for someone who's interested in free stuff and continuing the Pass on the Read program!

*edit: found them!

Does the POTR have to be King items? I doubt that any would 'refuse' a book, but is the intent Kingy or just good books?

[Ben Staad]

Does the POTR have to be King items? I doubt that any would 'refuse' a book, but is the intent Kingy or just good books?

I think ideally SK books however I have "passed on the read" to other folks with non SK items.

[biomieg]

Okay, I found my 'takers'! And no, I don't think it needs to be a King item per se (I will be sending King stuff though).

[Randall Flagg]

Very difficult to get a good picture, but I am really happy with the painting. Dameron used oils on this and it is very layered/textured. Flash pic on the left ambient (yellow from incandescent bulbs) on the right:

Love the art Jerome (although I'm jiggy with the consensus that the Barlow/Callahan is the pick of the two) :thumbsup:

Liking the remarques too Frank (and chasing down the other 19 - now there's a number with synchronisity - sigs should keep you busy for a while I reckon) :cool:

[jhanic]

I got my copy of the "manuscript" proof of Cell. What it is are printer's page proofs. I'll post a few pictures as soon as I can get my scanner working again. According to the seller, no more than 20 copies of this were produced. I seriously doubt that many, if any others at all, made it into collectors' hands.

No more new DMG books for a while after these, I promise. I'm officially out of shelf space:


Are you kidding? Lack of shelf space doesn't stop a REAL collector! Keep going!
You're comments hurt my self esteem <sniffle> so I had to buy more Grant books to make myself feel better...

http://imageshack.us/a/img338/7929/img20121023174722.jpg

Both are signed limited editions (Age of Dreams is limited to only 200 signed/numbered/slipcased copies), but this bio of Rick Berry at the end of Shadows of Dreams sealed the deal for me:

[Dolso]

Just r'cvd the Signed "The Twelve". Actually I was quite surprised that the sig wasn't on what I take to be the 'obvious' page for it.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/685/Signed_Passage_Twelve_3_doc.JPG

but instead, the page before that......... (shown along with a signed "Passage")

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/685/medium/Signed_Passage_Twelve_doc.JPG

The case is made for different books but these fit (sort of) so they have a temporary home.....

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/685/medium/Signed_Passage_Twelve_4_doc.JPG

[ELazansky]

If you bought a copy of The Passage signed from most of the online dealers, it was signed on the blank page before the title page as well. Looks like they are doing the same with The Twelve. I think he only signs the title page in person...

Where did you order your copy from?

[Dan]

I ordered from VJ Books and sig looks the same on The Twelve. I also ordered The Passage from them and it was signed on title page. I was rather shocked, also. Not a huge deal, but it looks lonely all by itself on the blank page.

[Joe315]

Tipped in page maybe?

EDIT: I just looked at VJ Books website and it looks like Cronin made a stop at their office/store to sign books. Must not have done that this time around.

I believe the signed copies obtained from the book dealers are tipped-in pages. They were obtained directly from the publisher that way. Books from actual signings are not tipped-in.

You are right. That's what I meant to say. I like the full signature on the blank page. Sometimes it looks nicer than when done at a signing.

[Dolso]

The one I got was also VJ Books. It's a great sig - seems clearer, less scribbled -- but like Dan said, looks sort of lonely.........

Just got back from a 12 day trip to China and waiting for me was the lettered IT from Cemetery Dance.
Packed extremely well and arrived in great shape.
And a ton of proofs from Hannes!!!

[biomieg]

You know the Sherlock Holmes/Doctor's Case proofs that were relisted countless times on eBay over the past few months? Well, I just couldn't stand it any longer and I bought them (I paid less than the $145 at which they were listed for in the final auction). I don't collect anthology proofs but this is a neat set, I think.

I was kind of surprised that they didn't sell sooner. Isn't the Doctor's Case proof pretty rare? I guess collecting anthology proofs is a niche-within-a-niche thing.

[east-tennessee]

I ordered my signed copy from Murder by the Book. Signed directly on the title page.

Mulleins

They must be sold out of signed copies, I can't find any on there site.
If anyone has the link it would be greatly appreciated..

Order from here. If you want an inscription you add one in the comment section when you order. You won't get it until after the signing on the 30th though. http://www.murderbooks.com/event/justin-cronin

Yesterday I met Justin Cronin for the 2nd time-he is a very funny guy!
I got my
UK Proof of The Twelve signed and dated
The Waterstones sampler signed and Dated
The US Hardcover signed :To Michael "All Eyes" signed and dated
He spoke and answered questions for an hour and stated that he has NEVER had this many people at a book signing. He married a woman from Minnesota so he always likes to come here.

Okay, this is pretty random but I was browsing this thread for fun and my eye fell on this ancient post by Hutch.


I was bagging and putting away a Thinner proof and a notice fell out of it.
I've probably handled 25 of this proof over the years and have never seen this before. It welcomes new writer Richard Bachman and introduces his new venture into the horror genre. I made the image large so you can read it. So here's the address to copy and paste into your browser.

http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/dhutch57/?action=view&current=IMG_0651.jpg

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii232/dhutch57/IMG_0651.jpg

Is this letter really that scarce? I'm asking because my copy of the proof came with one too (not that it would matter if it's not scarce, I'm happy with it either way).

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I would have though every proof originally came with it, but most of them got binned by the reviewer. They will get hundreds of this type of promotion.

[biomieg]

I know, I'm just curious how many survived. The fact that it's about Mr Bachman makes it just a little more special.

[Shannon]

My Thinner proof came with that small letter also.

Scars, by Richard Christian Matheson (Introduction):

This latter may also be called blue lines. According to the seller, there were no more than 20 of these done. Most, I assume, were used by the printer and destroyed.

[Cutter]

Congrats John! And I love the A Dance with Dragons. I had to drop out after buying A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows from Sub Press as I couldn't pay the $400 per book anymore. I regret this decision a lot even though I couldn't afford it anymore.

Elizabeth and I moved into this ranch style home on Monday. I'm excited about my library to be. I've got some ideas of what I want to do, I'll post when that happens. We got to enjoy a pretty amazing view of the full moon this week. And of coarse our dog Maggie is enjoying the big backyard.
