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.

It's one of my long-term collecting goals to get a nice 1st edition paperback of at least all the 70s and 80s King books and this one definitely belongs in that category.

[Roog]

Biomieg goes paperbacks haha. The artwork looks great and it is in good shape!

I bought Moving Pictures back in my sophomore year of high school; that's the Rush sound that I love along with Counterparts, Test for Echo, Signals, Roll the Bones, and Permanent Waves (I've got them all). I was soooooo looking forward to Clockwork Angels, finally picked it up two weeks ago .... and I don't like it at all. Their sound is missing, and I just hate the way they start off most every track with that orchestral noise, or whatever it is, the lead-ins that just build up ... there's no clean drummiing or keyboards or guitar to just kick a song into gear (like Limelight, Tom Sawyer, etc.). I think Caravan is the worst, and being the lead-off single it sets the tone for the rest. Horrible! Had no idea there was a book to go with the album either, would like to hear anybody's impression of it. Hey, I hear that Tom Scholz is bringing out a new Boston album next year, hopefully it won't suck as truly awfully as their last one (Corporate America) ... that was the worst. Can't believe that was 10 years ago!

[Garrell]

Became a Rush fan with 2112. Since then, every album has had to "grow" on me. When I got Clockwork Angels, I liked half of it right from the start and wasn't sure on the rest. Having seen Rush on every tour since 83, I felt I was obligated to see the Clockwork tour. It turned out to be the best show I have seen by them. After that, Clockwork is one of my favorites by them, I get the album now. It was made to play live:)

[carbinworld]

I grew up in Toronto in the 70's, Rush was pretty close to a religon there. The last tour I saw was in 1981, so I have missed A LOT :) I'm gonna have to get out to a show ASAP. It will never be the same as seeing them at the old Massey Hall (All The World's A Stage), but I'm not 14 anymore either ;)

[Scoogs]

Picked up a hardcover of TDT: The Long Road Home comic at Barnes & Noble tonight for $7. That and a couple of The Stand hardcovers are on the bargain shelves now.

And I also got a beautiful copy of the Signet DIFFERENT SEASONS 1st printing mass-market PB today. Maybe I'll take a pic of all my Signet 1sts later this week, it's starting to become a nice little sub-collection. Next on my mass-market PB wishlist are THE STAND (original), THE DEAD ZONE and FIRESTARTER.

[Roog]

At least they are cheaper then S/L's :)
Looking forward to the pictures!

[jhanic]

I think finding them in collectible condition is the real challenge. I know that most of my 1st/1st paperbacks are well-read.

John

[carlosdetweiller]

Next on my mass-market PB wishlist are THE STAND (original), THE DEAD ZONE and FIRESTARTER.

FIRESTARTER will be your biggest challenge. First printings are scarce compared to other paperbacks. Supposedly the only first printings went into the combo gift packs that included a later printing of THE DEAD ZONE. The copies that were sold separately were later printings. I'm not absolutely certain of that but that is what we collectors have accepted as truth for many years.

I took it as a compliment. Some members know quite a bit more than I do about some of the more recent books and appearances. I've been around King collecting for a long time and have picked up a lot of knowledge (and esoterica) about the earlier stuff. Hopefully we all share what we know and all come out ahead. I know that I would have missed out on many of the recent S/Ls, esp. the UK ones, if I hadn't been checking in here frequently.

Not King-related, but I was finally able to snag a new copy of one last main missing piece in my Oxford History of the United States collection:

Now the main series is complete and I'm awaiting the other four upcoming volumes! The 12th volume I'm not too eager to get as it's not part of the chronology per se, but it's still part of the series, so I'll get it whenever I find a new copy cheaply.

Today I could add 3 new Spanish DT books to my collection :)

[Randall Flagg]

This just came in today from the publisher:

http://www.thedarktower.org/custom/images/1354563439-NOS4A2%20ARC.JPG

[biomieg]

This one's different from the version that we've seen a couple of copies of so far, isn't it? Nice!

[Randall Flagg]

Yes. It says Advanced Readers Edition. One of the others I saw said Uncorrected Proof. Is there a third state?

[biomieg]

I have no idea. I think yours is the newer state, and the older (first?) one was something like an 'uncorrected advanced manuscript proof' or something arcane like that. That was the version that was handed out at a convention. I haven't really paid attention... (but I'm going to monitor eBay closely from now on).

[jhanic]

Mine says "Early uncopyedited bound manuscript" in white on a red banner along the top.

John

[biomieg]

That's it!

Mark took around 2 weeks to do my remarque once he received the book. He was out of town for a few days, which is why he said it took a little longer than usual. Tack on a few days for the return trip and I think the whole thing from start to finish was around 3 weeks. He was great to work with.

I stopped after I got my Duma Key. I don't collect remarques, but I really loved Duma Key, so I thought it would be nice to have one done.

You have more willpower than I do Elazansky. I've got another batch of books ready to ship out (sigh) But Im getting illustrations done on only the books I really love. Dont see the point in paying for original art in a book I dont care for.

And if I keep it, do I remove the shrink?

Decisions Decisions

I've got a Gunslinger 1st in the original shrinkwrap. I have no plans to remove the shrinkwrap from mine.

Not a highly praised book, but I just ordered the Life in the Cinema PC Lettered w/Traycase for $150 from Gauntlet. It was a special discount from their newsletter. Seems like a good price for a King signed lettered edition, even if it is a PC copy.

Why open it?
It's obviously a 1st/1st in mint condition & no signature to verify.
... just my two cents worth.

Man, I just posted the newest addition to my DMG collection yesterday, and there are already two more DMG books posted that I'll probably never have (or they'll be among the last ones I add, probably in thirty years or so). I think the only recovery I can make is to brag that I bought 6 Desperation gift editions on Abebooks for $1.07 each (the first two have already arrived, so I know they weren't just listed wrong).

I'd take it! I don't mind PC editions at all!

Yeah, obviously ... I mean no one would ever rewrap a book, right? And there's no way it could have interior damage from the publisher, or even a missing signature! I thknk unless I was the original buyer and had receipts to show it, I'd open it. I know I wouldn't buy a sealed one. JMO.

Make you a helluva an offer; I'll pay you the purchase price of your entire order for just one book. You're not going to get a better deal than that!

[TwistedNadine]

Nice everyone!
Glad your book wasnt damaged George - good job on the packaging Michael
Tippy - I would keep it in the shrinkwrap. Nice find

Well you should. You published it!!! And a damn fine job too!!!

:thumbsup:

[Jimimck]

Nice Bill! I still need one of those for my gift edition set.

[George at C-Springs]

I need the S/L, but will pick one up when I find a (preferably) single digit or double digit copy for the right price. Yes, yes, I know, no difference at all between #2, #20 and #200 ... but It is what it is, and that's what my little collecting devil likes. Well, he really likes letters too but I've got to keep him in check .... little bastard would deplete my checking account in a heartbeat if I let him.

This purchase was made quite a while ago, around the same time everyone else was buying these when they were available. I just got a round to getting it framed, picked it up a couple days ago, I think it came out quite nice but I may be a bit biased......

Really like that!

[carlosdetweiller]

Looks very nice. Interesting choices on the matting colors. They work really well together to enhance the art.

[jhanic]

I got this over the weekend. It has a rather interesting provenance. This is a manuscript that was sent from Ralph M. Vincinanza's office (King's agent at the time. He passed away suddenly in 2010.) to a Dutch publisher. The publisher donated it to a Dutch Stephen King fan group which sold it. The eventual owner then sold it to me.

Congratulations John!
Another wonderful addition to an already amazing collection of proofs and manuscripts.

Thank You. I had anidea wheniwent in but the girl there changed my mind and she spent a lot of time picking through colors and came up with these. I was impressed...I think she did a great job, the colors really do go well with the picture. More so than I expected.

At the UMass event, Stephen King called that book "so funny it should be illegal" (or something along those lines).

To be more precise; the Dutch fanclub had a lottery. I bought it from the winner.
