This just arrived...always wanted a copy...

http://books.hyraxia.com/image/data/2161.JPG

What is it? The link doesn't work for me for whatever reason.


It doesn't work for me either.

John


It looks to be a first edition of Jack Finney's THE BODY SNATCHERS.
Not sure why it doesn't show for some members. Perhaps a broweser setting.
Hopefully this image shows:

I see it now.............Nice...:cool2:

[jhanic]

Worked for me! Neat!

John

[hyraxia]

I think my site went down at some point during the night which might explain it.

[barlow]

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

Never, ever stop. :)

Congrats, that is an awesome book!

[barlow]

I think I some how clicked on the wrong post, that was supposed to be a in regaurds to Hyraxia's copy of The Body Snatchers!

[Randall Flagg]

Not a book, but certainly my new P&J. On the right is the trophy for winning the 2013 Dt.Org March Madness competition. Also shown are my other trophies won here.

Just got caught up on many pages of this thread. Congratulations, everyone, on some very cool additions to your collections.

Brice, good on you for honoring that old commitment. I still don't own a 1st DMG edition of W&G, so those photos made me a little droolly.

Nice :)

[Robert Fulman]

Just for fun, I took apart a Grant first edition of Wizard and Glass, and then rebound it in two volumes as an imitation of the S/L. I learned a lot by doing this, and it's not perfect, but I think the results look pretty darn good:

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/DV300F/aa_zps720e2f15.jpg

I haven't had a chance to make a slipcase yet, but it fits pretty nicely in a Talisman slipcase:

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/DV300F/aa_zpse6fa89db.jpg

Here is a blurry photo that shows the black endpapers, white pseudo-suede binding and decorative headbands I used:

Can we see some shots of the binding? Did you have it done or did you take a crack at it yourself?

Ken

[Randall Flagg]

Is today 4/1, or 6/1?

[Robert Fulman]

It's not a joke; I said I was going to do it, and I did it. That's how I roll.

[harrison ryan]

Where did you get the dust jackets?

[Robert Fulman]

Grant sells their dust jackets: LINK (https://secure.grantbooks.com/z-books-djs.html). The W&G costs $15 for the pair.

[tippy4]

It's not a joke; I said I was going to do it, and I did it. That's how I roll.

I think that is what Victor Frankenstein said too.

[subie09lega]

Thanks for the tip about the dust jackets. I think I could make use of that.

[Robert Fulman]

Can we see some shots of the binding? Did you have it done or did you take a crack at it yourself?

KenI did the work myself. Here is a better picture of the binding and moire endpapers and decorative headband (which is one of the silliest features ever; it's literally just decorative). Sorry bout the dust:

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/DV300F/aa_zps898c04fa.jpg

And here are the bindings au naturale. I went with white because the S/L is white, but I didn't want to imply that I was trying to counterfeit the actual S/L, so I used a faux suede cloth. For the slipcase, I'm going to use a black faux leather, similar to what Grant uses for their multi-volume DT slipcases.

[barlow]

That is really cool!


Ken

[Dan]

That's pretty cool. I've been thinking of trying to make some slipcases, but just haven't got around to it.

[barlow]

That's pretty cool. I've been thinking of trying to make some slipcases, but just haven't got around to it.

Slipcases are pretty easy, you should have no problem! I am thinking of giving a traycase a try, should be fun. I think I will try using carpet tape instead of glue an see how it works.

Ken

[harrison ryan]

I like it a lot! Do you have any future experiments planned?

[Ari_Racing]

Pretty cool!

Thanks a bunch, TN!

John

[Patrick]

:thumbsup: to all of you.

That W&G 1st edition looks good, though part of my innate reaction is to cringe when a book is taken apart. What condition was the book per-transformation?

[mattgreenbean]

If you did a tutorial on making slipcases, you would be the man!

[becca69]

This is what I won from the Haven drawing. Thanks Jerome, it got here quick!

That W&G 1st edition looks good, though part of my innate reaction is to cringe when a book is taken apart. What condition was the book per-transformation?The book was not in the best of shape. I only paid $4 for it, and I chose it especially for this project.

[jhanic]

Very, very nice, Becca!

John

[Randall Flagg]

Brilliant. I love it. I presume the materials cost more than the book.. Unless it's a secret, it would be cool (as mentioned) for a dedicated "How To" thread about this.

[becca69]

Yes, I agree, I would love to rebind some books that may not be in the best shape. I have a great art history book from college where the binding completely fell apart.

Big time Congrats!!!!

Sure, "Brag" why don't ya? LOL LOL LOL Just more evidence as to why "I" will win the "Grand Prize" this year!!!! :wtf:

Very nice Becca, congrats... Merlin... don't be so hasty I'm in there too. :P :)

Very nice Becca, congrats... Merlin... don't be so hasty I'm in there too. :P :)

LOL My version of "winning" anything is to post for days prior to the drawing that I will win and then sink into a dark funk the day of the drawing when in fact I don't win.

I rarely win anything!!


However, us passing the HF goal of $12K this year is a big win for us all!!!!

[Robert Fulman]

I'm not going to bore you with all of my arts and crafts projects, but here is my newest one, a rehabbed Gunslinger first edition:

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/DV300F/aa_zpsf1056aca.jpg

(Ha, ha, just kidding; it's actually a mass market Signet paperback spruced up with some art from a Plume book club edition. I put together a description of the process in this thread (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?17446-How-to-upgrade-the-binding-on-a-book).)

[Patrick]

Whew! Ok, I am much more relaxed about your rebinding projects. :)

Becca, that's a nice prize. I like the little original drawings in the lower margin.

Congrats, kingfan, on your new purchases.

[subie09lega]

This is regressing a little bit, but when one orders extra dust jackets from Grant, how do they ship them? Rolled or flat?

Grant sells their dust jackets: LINK (https://secure.grantbooks.com/z-books-djs.html). The W&G costs $15 for the pair.

[Randall Flagg]

Rolled.

[subie09lega]

Thanks RF, I need to look at a couple of mine. I know I want to get at least one but maybe a couple others, too.

Rolled.

[The Library Policeman]

[WeDealInLead]

Thanks. I'll have to check if it's still available.

Good stuff, everyone! Ari, would you mind creating a new entry in the proof Catalog? I think it's interesting that the proof is not the typical light blue Scribner proof (it is being published by Scribner, right?).

We hung out outside Today show for over 4 hours, Went to Apple store SOHO event, Were in Letterman show audience. also outside studios where Morning Joe, Charlie Rose & All Things Considered are taped. Some sigs obtained at Apple store. Kings outside Colbert show studio. Glad we planned a trip to NY for last week. Was a whirlwind however a lot of fun with some eventual success.

He didn't name names or complain about how it was packaged. He just showed us how it arrived, maybe as a cautionary tale to put it between cardboard when you send it?

That's how I took the post too. Not being ungracious, just sharing the frustration we probably all feel from time to time.


He didn't name names or complain about how it was packaged. He just showed us how it arrived, maybe as a cautionary tale to put it between cardboard when you send it?

[Randall Flagg]

What I posted is my opinion and feeling on the matter. I am of course entitled to be wrong.:eek:

[carlosdetweiller]

Nothing earth shattering but I don't recall ever seeing a review copy of DESPERATION before. I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff.

[Robert Fulman]

I'm glad Desperation found a good home; I used the proceeds to buy something cool that I'll hopefully post next week.

[jhanic]

That's neat. I hadn't seen one before either.

[Shannon]

Nice! Besides the papers, is there any difference in the actual book?

[Pasiuk57]

Just took a real fast look but I also have the following Review Copies complete with Viking notes and their tan Review Copy note
I have
Desperation
Nightmares and Dreamscapes
Insomnia
Rose Madder
The Regulators
They are fun to find now and then-I am a sucker for them also!

[carlosdetweiller]

No. I don't think so.

I have:

Christine
Gerald's Game
Dolores Claiborne

Prime Evil

I've got just about all of the trade editions starting with THE DEAD ZONE. Anthologies? Lots.

[biomieg]

Very nice, Bob/Mike/John. I don't see trade HC review copies advertised as such very often. Seems like a slow but rewarding process to collect a good set of those.

[carlosdetweiller]

I'm interested in seeing what you are getting and am happy to have played a small role.

[biomieg]

Yes, looking forward to it too.

I am exploring some leads at the moment which could result in a nice addition to my collection as well (something we don't see everyday) but it's too early for details. To be continued...

[Randall Flagg]

I learn something every day here.
Michael, should these copies be mentioned in the Wiki?

[Kingfan24]

I never meant my post about the ARC to be ungracious, I was just stating that I was bummed about how it arrived. I also talked to the person privately and we resolved it - no harm meant. The person who sent it to me knows how important they are to my collection and I am entirely gracious to everything they send me.

[biomieg]

Michael, should these copies be mentioned in the Wiki?

I don't think so (unless Bob et al. disagree). AFAIK they're trade editions with review slips (if the slips go missing you'd never know they were review copies), whereas proofs/ARCs are physically different items.

I suppose as an anomaly they could be posted in the comment area for each proof. Lots of additional information have been added to the articles.

and a few upgrades for collection: http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p585/jascarpic/NYCaquired6-2013_zps900258d2.jpg

Hey Jim-

Did you get the Roadwork and Startling Mystery Stories at a specialty store or did you get lucky and wander into a used paperback store and make a great find? Did you manage to get either of those signed?

Was searching bookstores all over NYC new and used.
Was checking new stores daily (especially around area where thought King might be staying) in case he had dropped in and signed a stack. NO LUCK.
Always visit various used as well as rare book stores. I found these two at a high end book store which had just taken in someones collection of Kings books. There were a lot of Limiteds as well as some decent 1st/1sts of older rarities all over priced IMO. The most intriguing thing was at this store as well as others I kept finding Books inscribed "To Jim" and some had great inscriptions. Found a 1st edition Gunslinger (kinda worn cover) at the Strand inscribed to Jim for $2000.
I did not get these signed ... when I was able to catch King outside Colbert had these and some other rarer items with me however due to rain I kept them safe rather than risk shoving them through the crowd of signature collectors hounding the event.

[biomieg]

Found a 1st edition Gunslinger at the Strand inscribed to Jim for $2000.

I would LOVE to go to the US one day and get the chance to simply walk into a bookstore and pick up books that I can basically only get through eBay where I live.

Hey Patrick, are all the insides the same?
Hi Becca,

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I read the "orange cover" ARC, but barely touched the more scarce two. My understanding is that the blue cover has the exact same insides as the orange cover, just a lot fewer blue covers.

We should ask Brian to shed some light on whether the blank covers were run prior to the other two. I had assumed they were since he had said that 10 of them were marked up for changes.

[herbertwest]

Btw, i've never understood why people were saying "orange cover"... cause for me they are both red...

[jhanic]

In actuality, the first is more orange, and the last one is black with some orange. The orange tends more toward the red, but it's still orange.

John

[idlewarnings]

Thanks for the Joyland pics. Looks great.

[Patrick]

Good clarification, John. On the mark.

[Randall Flagg]

The (Rarer) advance copy that has no art on the front also has no copyright page/info.

[herbertwest]

In actuality, the first is more orange, and the last one is black with some orange. The orange tends more toward the red, but it's still orange.

John

Ok, i've JUST noticed the orangy sky on the first... but the last one is black with some orange : i dont see any orange on the cover...???

Yaaay, today 3 packages arrived at the same time :)

DT3 as a large trade paperback from UK Hodder&Stoughton:

About 8 years ;)

And yes, I like to complete DT series :D

I gotta agree with, Patrick. That is some very handsome sets!!!

WIN WIN WIN

Thanks Tippy, but I'm mainly a seller (edited) buyer, and no doubt would be stuck with your book, itd be easier to change my name to the one on the book! Lol

Correct. Artists have been drawing in books for years. The only recent invention is mistakenly calling the drawings remarques.

[Brian James Freeman]

Btw, i've never understood why people were saying "orange cover"... cause for me they are both red...

The colored corner was a lot more orange on the screen when we sent the ARCs to the printer and we kept calling it the orange one at the office after they arrived.

When I posted, I should have called that one the "trade review copy" and the blue cover one the "slipcased trade review copy," so any confusion is my mistake. :)

Nice book! Wish I had been able to get one. Congratulations!

[cit74]

I wasn't thinking clearly though - when I ordered my second s/n for my Dad - I could have ordered a second lettered instead (since they were still available). Oh well, I am very content and happy with my book (maybe my number(s) will be fairly low as well)

Something surprising : i bought something on ebay (THE STAND - promotional tv series thingy), and noticed when i recieved it that i already have it in my promotional videostore set.
So i sent it back... and the seller even reimbursed me the shipping fees! Surprising as he sent it to me !
Oh well :)

And yesterday i recieved the latest book of a french author (Maxime CHattam), that is often considered as the french Stephen King. He DO like Stephen King, and in the past he exchanged some emails with me.
Last week i went to attend a book signing by this author, but he arrived late at the shop and apparently the bookchain closed the door for entries to the signature.
He was still signing when the shop was closing, but the shop employees told me to go away as they wouldnt let any more people in... so i was disappointed.
Yesterday i recieved a copy of his book, signed & personnalised, and mentionning in the signature being too a fan of King :)
Pix this week end :)

Fabulous new additions. So cool your letter is C - was that a special request or awesome coincidence?

Nice. Lower number.

Maxime Chattam is a french author whose books are thrillers. I discovered him a few months ago but read quite a lot of his books. He is a Stephen King fan too, and we started talking a bit via twitter.
Met him yesterday at the 1st edition of a Fantastic Literary Awards, created by "La ligue de l'imaginaire", a group of french authors who promote imaginary litterature.

Got a few books signed.

"For Jeremy,
Welcome to "la conjuration primitive", a scary adventure because (almost) possible!
From another huge fan of the King Master.
Friendly"

"For Jeremy,
Because we love the father King!
Good (re)reading"

"Some PREDATORS (book title)
for Jeremy"

Congrats, guys. Nice story behind that inscription, Jeremy. Chad, what a haul!

[Stockerlone]

Congrats Jeremy, NICE inscriptions !!!

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations all!

Something that i forgot to say about the other night, when i got my books signed.
The award delivered to an author is quite different. One of the partners of the event, is the Musée Grevin (the french version of "Madame Tussaud" in London, a wax statue museum), who had been inaugurated in 1882 by the french author Victor Hugo (ie : The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Les Miserables... etc).
So the award was a wax version of Victor Hugo's hand! Quite cool he!

Unfortunately i dont have any pictures of it... :-(

This is not a P&J per se... I just wanted to say happy Canada Day to my fellow Canucks and to you honorary ones world wide! I am proud to be Canadian and am lucky to be living in the greatest country in the world (even if shipping costs to this country are ridiculous!). Have a cold one Hosers!!!
