Your New Pride and Joy!

[CRinVA]

OH I will be jealous for years to come. If I had but one (and only one) free wish it would be for The Stand S/L!

Well, at least one free Book wish! :-)

[Coulrophobia]

Beautiful Copy!!! Congrats!!

[shaq]

I think you should donate it to the haven foundation!! Lol. Great great book!!

My new pride and joy should be delivered in a day or two....

Lettered 25th anniversary version of The Exorcist by Gauntlet.

[jhanic]

Congratulations! I've always had a soft spot in my heart for that one. Every once in a while I get my copy out just to savor it.

Thank you, I can't wait to have it here, place next to my CD exorcist/Legion!

I have a very modest collection, but love absolutely all of them!

edited to add.....Truly embarrassed if you were talking about the Stand lol

[jhanic]

I was talking about The Stand. Sorry I was not clear. I envy you the Exorcist/Legion volume, too. With my current financial situation, I have to stick with just King stuff, so I didn't get that edition, though I really wanted it.

I love hearing of members he who pick up S/L Stands. Keeps my own desire for one peaked.

I'm also keen to check out photos of this Lettered Exorcist when it arrives.

Nice pick up guys!

[F1racefan]

I just picked up a CD Lettered "The Passage" by Justin Cronin for $102 at a used bookstore!! I think they mispriced this as the S/L of the book usually runs about $175. They also had an CD Lettered Exorcist/Legion for $400 but i could not afford both and the Exorcist was priced more what I would expect to see.

[fearless-freak]

well it is what over 40 years now since the book was written and the film was made

[Robert Fulman]

My new P&J (not Stephen King, related, sorry) is a master galley proof of one of my favorite books, and probably the best time travel book ever written, "The Man Who Folded Himself" by David Gerrold. This is for the first Random House edition published in 1973, and yes I am totally going to read it:

http://imageshack.us/a/img802/8211/sam3467.jpg

There are handwritten notes throughout, but also some typed ones. I think it's cool that 40 years ago someone (probably Gerrold, but maybe an editor) read this and said, "I think this paragraph here needs a little slapstick humor.":

Yeah, storing Knowing Darkness is tough. Sort of like certain Lettered Editions that I like a lot, yet I also fully understand where collectors are coming from when I hear the occasional complaints regarding the size... :)

[barlow]

Over the last few years I have found the following deals (all firsts unless noted):

F/F The Long Walk 2nd for a dime

F/F never read copy of The Shining for a quarter

F/F Hunt For Red October for a quarter (not king but a tough book to find and a great price)

F/F Pet Semetary with a signed postcard from 83 talking about Christine that was tucked inside as a book mark for a quarter

VG+ never read copy of Rage for $2.95

NF never read Running Man for $3.50

NF never read Sphere pbo of all 6 volumes of The Books Of Blood by Clive Barker for $3.50 each (same day and store as the Running Man)

F/NF The Gunslinger 2nd $30.00

VG plume Gunslinger with alternate cover for $2.50

NF/G Gunslinger $100.00

VF/VF mint copy of Different Seasons signed to Forry (Forrest J. Ackerman) in the year of Publication for $300.00 in trade credit. my favorite king collection and an association copy to boot.

[Jimimck]

Now that's a great list of awesome deals!

[carlosdetweiller]

Yes. Some great deals. Personally I am most impressed with the Hunt for Red October for 25 cents (if it is truly a first edition). Wow!

[Shannon]

Nice deals! Local bookstore?

[divemaster]

Yes. Some great deals. Personally I am most impressed with the Hunt for Red October for 25 cents (if it is truly a first edition). Wow!

That's what caught my eye. The true first F/F is worth about $1,000, right?

[barlow]

Yes. Some great deals. Personally I am most impressed with the Hunt for Red October for 25 cents (if it is truly a first edition). Wow!

Thanks, it is a true first with all the issue points on the dust jacket and the copyright page. I have checked every copy I come across for about 20 years now. found it at a book sale about a year and a half ago. I did a double take on everything before I allowed myself to think wholly shit I found one and its only a quarter!

[barlow]

Nice deals! Local bookstore?

A couple from bookstores in town, a couple from bookstores in Jacksonville where my folks live. One from a store in St. Augustine that usually charged an arm and a leg for anything that was nice, so it was nice that they missed the 2nd printing Gunslinger. Some from a store in Tampa that sadly closed a while back, I never went there without finding something nice. And a few from local book sales. Whenever I visit friends and relatives I try to hit the local bookstores while I'm there!

[biomieg]

I would love to live in the US for a couple of years and get the chance to go to 2nd hand bookstores and actually find books that I'm interested in (they don't even have to be great deals). All my favorite writers are from the US and UK - all I can find here are Dutch translations, 97th printing US/UK mass-market paperbacks or beat-up US/UK hardcover copies of more recent trade editions. No older books and magazines, no proofs, no signed books, no limiteds... I fully rely on eBay, ABE et cetera and often sellers don't want to ship overseas and if they do, it's getting more and more expensive. I'm pretty sure that 25% of the money I invested in my collection was spent on shipping costs alone.

Sorry, I needed to get this off my chest.

Those were some great, great deals, Barlow!

I know exactly how you feel my friend. Same thing here in New Zealand. Doesn't it piss you off when you think about how much you've paid on shipping...

I've always dreamt of winning lotto so I could retire and open a second hand book store without having to worry about making a living out of it. Then I could help people find those amazing deals myself

[ChristineB]

Nice Ari!
Congrats John that is interesting.

[barlow]

That is interesting, I wonder if some kind of issue copyright issue came up between King, his current publishers who have the story and the publisher of this book? I can't imagine the editor decided One For The Road didn't make the cut!

[barlow]

Having the used bookstores to look through is awesome, unfortunately they seem to be closing up shop faster much faster than new ones are opening!

I know they still list for that much maybe even a little more! I have no plans to sell it but I wonder if they actually sell for that amount, or if that is just what some of the dealers would like to get for there copies? I hope someday he will do a signing within a reasonable distance of where I live and I can get it signed!

I've got some info on this that I'll pass along later today or tonight. Just some comments that Stuart Schiff made concerning the omission of King's story. Basically he says that King was being a jerk as usual (his feelings, not necessarily mine). I'll quote him verbatim later today.

I think The Hunt For Red October has fallen quite a bit from its high selling prices a few years ago but I haven't priced them recently. I have never owned a copy.

I had one that I found (pre ebay, Craigslist era) for $20 IIRC. I believe the true first was published by Naval Institute Press and there were ~5K printed. I sold it quite some time ago, but for a lot less than $1K.

[carlosdetweiller]

I bought a proof copy of the anthology VAMPIRES, edited by Alan Ryan, way back in 1997 from Stuart Schiff. Here is part of his description/listing at that time:

"This fine book was to have included King's "One for the Road," but the master presented everyone with his usual complications making it impossible to include the tale in the finished book. Therefore this Proof copy includes the King story while the finished book does not. Doubleday rarely produces more than 25 copies of any proof (save for major novels and the like) so this is a very rare King item."

Wish we knew more. It sounds like it could have been a good story.

[jhanic]

Very interesting, Bob. I wish we knew more too.

I've been weighing up picking up a signed copy of Horns, since that is the only book of his I've read so far - and LOVED!

[Robert Fulman]

I'm glad people liked the Waste Lands letter. Up next in my collection of misfits is a July, 1986 edition of Castle Rock Newsletter, addressed to Donald M. Grant:

That's pretty excellent! A nice thing to have!

[Robert Fulman]

The paper has a half-page ad for the Grant Talisman gift edition; interesting to know that it still wasn't sold out in July 1986.

[Stockerlone]

For a longer time, i collect the books from the amazing Robert B. Parker.

David at Betts hooked me up with a signed 1st ed of Full Dark No Stars, along with a great looking slipcase!
http://imageshack.us/a/img46/1889/fdns2.jpg

Hey, that is a snazzy looking slipcase! ;)

[bdwyer19]

It sure is Brian! For some reason, I had it in my head that the slipcase that David had was the red glow-in-the-dark Overlook Connection slipcase, which I think just looks tacky. So, when I saw the CD slipcase packaged with the book, I was pretty psyched!!

[ChristineB]

Nice additions Brian and Stockerlone!!!

[CRinVA]

So Joe Hill is in the new right now with his new novel out so what better place to put this pic than here. One might ask, what the hell is this! Well check it out, its pretty funny and then below I'll tell you a bit more about it.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/JH_Back.JPG

So, I deal with this store called Game Parlor and as a sideline business they sell comic books. I have them reserve the Marvel Stephen King items and also the IDW Lock & Key from Joe Hill. On my reservation form I also checked off to order me any one shots that might come out. I only stop by this store once a month or so and pick up what they have for me. The other day I went in and all they had was this one shot from Joe Hill. Look at this - it's huge. I put a normal sized comic next to it for a reference point.

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

So what's inside you might ask - here is a shot of the table of contents. It contains some one shots that I missed for whatever reason. Kinda of cool and was totally not expecting this. And it only cost $9.99!

[bdwyer19]

Excellent Scoogs! So which Dark Tower S/Ls do you have now?

[Scoogs]

I have books 4 through 7, all with matching numbers. Now I really need another bookcase!

[jhanic]

Nice, Scoogs!

John

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, Scoogs!

[barlow]

Congrats on the new additions to your limited editions, Scoogs! And matching up with the numbers you already have is pretty sweet! Did you actively search for them or did they just happen to pop up for sale?

Ken

[Scoogs]

I actually got them all from the same seller, but he was listing them one at a time. I had to snag 3 of them from his auctions over the last few weeks.

I've wanted to start getting the DT S/Ls for a long time, so it's nice to finally have a few.

[The Library Policeman]

Congratulations, Scoogs.

I asked Mark to illustrate Autopsy Room 4. When I received the book I opened it and WTF! Yahoo! No, I didnt ask for it so assume it is a coincidence... But I am VERY happy (snicker)

An nice bookreading event, with a lot of time to talk.

It is the regular edition. Shame on me for asking the publicity person too late.
Yes. I am going to read it, dog ear it, spill on it, etc. It's paperback-that is it's destiny..

Good for you Jerome, that's what paperbacks are for! I look forward to reading it when mine arrive.

Not necessarily. I was in touch with the publicity rep since the original announcement of the book (about 1 year ago?), and was told at some point that i shalll be getting mine mid of may.
Hope to get it before friday otherwise i wont be able to read it prior to the release..

I also got a copy today. I requested a copy as soon as i heard about the project. I think they must have had too many requests or it was just easier to send a regular copy. At least we can read it!!!

[CurtSeattle]

I like this b/c of what he wrote in it. You can tell that it has some meaning in it...or at least that's how I read it. :) (I paid $100. Not sure if that is good or bad for a signed like new 1st/1st?)

True, but at least this was a free item.

First of all...let me preface the photos that i'm about to add by saying that Bernie was extremely nice and I felt lucky to have the opportunity to speak with both he and his wife for quite some time this weekend at Comicpalooza. Below are some pics of what he signed for me. Enjoy!

Brice is a King :D

[Brice]

Hi!

Some years ago I won a giveaway from Brice. There were some personal problems and he couldn't send it.

But he's REALLY a man of his word!

About six years from that giveaway, here's my great edition of Wizard and Glass:

Thank you VERY much, Brice!!!

I really should be ashamed of myself (and I kinda' am) that it took so long. I let personal issues get in the way more than I should have and then there were times I simply forgot. Then I'd remember and something else would come up. Anyhow I've been working on going back and doing anything I've ever said I was going to do and didn't. This was by far the oldest commitment I'd made and I'm really glad it got to you okay and I'm thrilled you like it, my friend. I'm absolutely sure it couldn't have a better home. :)

Correct. The circumstances were very different, hence the different feelings upon receipt.

As I said I'm not really proud of it having taken so long. To be honest I feel kind of bad about it, but I can't really undo that either. The recipient has been overly understanding about it...likely more than I deserve. I didn't know him at all before the giveaway and he's been nothing, but kind about it when he'd be perfectly in the right to be upset with me. I fucked up on this one. I consider myself lucky to have him as a friend.

[Randall Flagg]

I've bitched more than once about the "Coffin Case" that never ever came from Hinchberger (Overlook Press). I even found someone who actually received one of the cases, got the specs to reproduce it, then realized spending ~$200 for a case for a book that would be worth $25 wasn't a good idea (one of the few times I exercised good judgement when it comes to an obsession).

All's well that ends well, right? At least you stuck to your word and made a friend as a bonus!!! Funny how shit works itself out in the end!!!

So now I have 649 SK books :)

[Jimimck]

If you were ever going to stop, 649 seems like a cool number to stop at....

[Brice]

There is no stopping. Nice book, Ari! I've always liked the metallc German Dt books. I have one myself. :)

[Merlin1958]

Congrats to all!!!!

[Roog]

I didn't stop at 649 either, currently at 737 :blush:

[Brian James Freeman]

I have finally finished my Holdorf set. Spent months looking for someone on eBay or ABE who actually had pictures of Pet Sematary so I could verify it was the Holdorf cover. Finally found a seller who had a fine copy for $30.
