Cool looking drawing from Alex. I'm guessing this is in the proof Alex was selling? Either way congrats.

Wedealinlead did you get your copy of my pretty pony from ebay 49.99, wondering if its the same seller as me, cycle of the werewolf looks good shape ,love that edition, is that the UK Doctor Sleep, I won a copy from Lilja's Library

[WeDealInLead]

Different seller. Cycle was from Camelot Books. I made a few smaller monthly payments. They're pretty good about that.

Doctor Sleep is the first UK edition. I ordered it from bookdepository.com and for once, the book arrived without any blemishes.

[Lot guy]

Awesome, great books Congrats, I just got my cycle inscribed by King for my Son, paperback k doesn't compare, can't wait to give it to him, if you don't mind how much was my pretty, the edges on your copy look mint

An easy way to tell if they are originals or copies is remove the brads and see if there is black around the holes that did not match up when Xeroxed and re-punched. if no black they should be originals.

[jhanic]

No black. I guess I got a good deal!

John

I just received two killer remarques done in my signed limited editions of Joyland. Robert McGinnis did a wonderful blend of images from the book and his iconic forms of women he made famous in his Bond posters. Check out my collections page to see them. And no, they are NOT "triple remarqued" !!!

Thanks for all the listing you do - got The Stand signed ltd (coffin box) from eBay thanks to you !!!!! Just awaiting delivery and very excited to see it in the flesh - the stand has always been a favourite of mine as it was the first King book I ever read. My sister brought it home from the bookshop she worked in as it had the first 10 pages missing!!! Still lapped it up and have been hooked ever since (it was nice to eventually read the missing 10!!!!)

Joyland S/L #2, or your second copy?

Sorry,
2nd copy #717,
#609 is the copy I bought for purchase price

[George at C-Springs]

Sorry, 2nd copy #717, #609 is the copy I bought for purchase price

It's just as well. If you'd gotten #2 for $300, protocol would have required that I beat you over the head with it while saying 'Congratulations'.

[Lot guy]

The beating might have been worth it

[George at C-Springs]

Oh yeah, definitely would have been. Would have beat myself as well for not catching that auction!

[carlosdetweiller]

Paid way too much for this but didn't have it and felt I needed it. Not sure where to post stuff like this. Not really a "Pride and Joy". More like "Well here's something."

It is the Summer 1983 issue of DARK HORIZONS, a UK publication. In the prior issue (Summer 1982) a writer named Pete Scott attributed THE LONG WALK to King (for some reason he didn't mention RAGE, ROADWORK or THE RUNNING MAN). King responded with this short letter to the editor. Interesting for historical purposes if nothing else.

Personally Bob, I think that this is very far removed for being a "well, here's something" entry - awesome piece of SK history !!!! :smile:

[fearless-freak]

thats quite rare, i've only ever seen one copy before

[DoctorZaius]

Thanks for sharing. I have not seen this before. Very interesting historical perspective as Penny says.

[The Library Policeman]

Yeah that's very, very cool Bob.

I guess it is. I sure didn't have one. I do have the prior issue (#25, Summer 1982) with the longish article by Pete Scott.

John

[herbertwest]

Let's not forget the depth of the King knowledge, allowing to find those amazing rare items!

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Great find Bob. I love that "letter to the editor".

[mae]

That's a great little letter. Very rare thing indeed. If and when a collection of King's non-fiction writings gets underway, I wonder how many fat volumes it will take?

[herbertwest]

That's a great little letter. Very rare thing indeed. If and when a collection of King's non-fiction writings gets underway, I wonder how many fat volumes it will take?
I really doubt that such a project would see the lights of the day... because of the multiple copyright issues with the copyright owners of all those essays. But who knows?

A bit similar to Bob's sharing with the proof/ pages of THE PLANT : I really like a french author. Every year, he usually invites me prior to the publication of his new book, to get his own proof copy.
This year, the publisher didnt do any. But he invited me to get, this morning, loose printed pages of his proof. For the book that just got released. And last year's.
We discussed a bit, he asked me if i would like to read the next volume (that he sent the other day to his editor). He looked at a printed version, considered it a wee while, browing the different pages and annotations... before saying that he'll wait to see his editor's feedback, as he wouldnt want me to read a disappointing book. Before saying that i'll get it the next time.

We then discussed a bit (about many things, including Stephen King & Orson Scott Card, a book he highly recommend me to read : the dice man, by Luke Rhinehart) etc. He even gave me an advice when i said there was 1 book that i am still looking for (the ONLY copy i had ever heard about or seen for sale, got FUCKING LOST during the shipping to me!) : a limited edition of a short story, that was given away during a writing conference, a few years back. He said that he has a copy someone else, he may give to me next time. Anyway, I then left, not with his next book (to be released in a year, what a shame!), but not empty handed either :

Excellent! Hope it pays off for you, Jeremy.

[herbertwest]

I should be able to get 2 copies. For FREE!
As I asked to get it delivered on person, in order to prevent the same mistake than last time (even if this time i could get it delivered to work), I may not be able to get them until next week. Since she's helping me with this, and she offered those copies for FREE, I offered this lady (who happens to have a very nice Facebook profile picture by the way :p) to invite her for a drink.

I am obviously very impatient... but I shall not rush anything, in order to prevent reproducing last time's disaster!

Nestled on my "Heavy and/or Tall" bookshelf is my new copy of Black House, published by Grant. It's the one on the right, if you're wondering:

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/null_zps2fddeab9.jpg

My main focus in collecting right now is "Donald Grant or Dark Tower books". Ironically, my collection of the intersection of those two is somewhat lacking. I'd love to have one (or more) of everything. I'm not particular about numbers, but this is my first PC copy:

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/null_zps4ee7a12e.jpg

The specific reason I wanted this PC copy is where it came from:

[Kingfan24]

wow - huge difference between the sig in the book and the sig on the paper.

[Robert Fulman]

I can't tell if you're trying to suggest that the signed paper might not be legit, but I purchased the book directly from Susan Straub (Paypal verified name and address matches that shown on the Peter Straub letterhead). I have no reason to doubt its legitimacy.

[Joe315]

I bet it's a signature vs autograph thing, meaning some people will have different signatures for personal things, checks, etc. to avoid fraud.

[Randall Flagg]

This came while I was out of town. They don't appear to be advance copies, just regular copies that came in advance. I love the covers.

Very cool! Congrats! The difference is sigs could also be a time lapse between When Black House came out in 2001, and if he possibly signed the other form prior to selling his copy.

Not doubting just commenting - just shows no one can really be sure on sigs sometimes

Pardon my ignorance, but just what edition is that? I have a S/L of "Black House" and it is a single huge volume. Obviously, I am out of touch. I look forward to the education. They look to be very handsome indeed!! I ask because it is one of my more favorite King volumes and I have tried to get as many editions as per my "Collection rules" LOL


Oh, and Congratulations!!!

[Robert Fulman]

It's the S/L from Grant. The picture shows the Talisman/Black House gift set, which is two volumes, and two copies of the S/L.

So, a more recent edition? As I thought, but did not want to state in fear of showing my ignorance. A great addition, none the less!!! I may look into this one as well. Thanks, Mr. Fulman!!!

[Robert Fulman]

Sorry for the confusion; my new book is one of the 20 or so Author/Artist/PC copies of the 2002 Grant edition, as described in the catalog (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showwiki.php?title=Black+House+-+S+L).

No, hey I got it a great acquisition. I did not mean to cast any aspersions upon it, and stupidly, I did not consult the "catalog". It was just a "knee jerk" question and I apologize if anything else was inferred. It was totally my "Confusion" not yours!!!

[herbertwest]

Last week i recieved a french proof for DOCTOR SLEEP :)

And today, i couldnt be happier : in 2011, by accident, i heard for the first time of a boo kthat i never heard about by a french author that I collect . A limited edition of 300 copies given away during an event. It was the first copy i heard about and saw it for sale.
I ordered it, behing happy as it was quite cheap too. The seller was from the Paris area, and I didnt have time to go and collect it. BIG MISTAKE. The item was lost during its shipping.
Ever since, I was desperately looking for a copy.

Last week end I met with the author and we discussed numerous things. I mentionned it, and he said that he had a copy himself, and that i should also contact such person. This lovely lady have kept a few copies, and gave me two of them tonight!
2 years later, I get 2 copies, for free. I therefore invited her for some drinks, and hada lovely dinner speaking about litterature & other stuff.
Now, i will need to get them signed :)

Here is one wall in my collection room.
I had to install these cases and tether them to the wall-California-earthquake country. Nothing fancy about the cases-spent the money on books. Mostly these hold my trades, and a few other items.

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/2753/opendoorpicyf2.jpg

Wow.
This is the nicest bookshelves I have ever seen and let's not forget the collection of books.
Can you tell me where I could buy the shelves from?
I have been looking but did not like what was out there.
But yours are totally great.
I need some just like it for my collection.
I hope you're ok with this?

I will have to find me one when I can round up some money. Why is this copy thicker than the other copies is it because they used a better stock of paper or what? I wished I had known it would look this good when you could get it from the publisher.

THE LETTER was a note sent to "MONSTER FANS" offering to sell one of 3 stories for a bout 20 - 30 cents a piece depending on your choice sent out by King in Sept 1963. This was a TRIAD piece with the Triad logo drawn in. The address was hand written by Steve King with a 4 cent stamp used for mailing. This was actually my biggest thrill at this event. I showed it to him pointing out it was 50 years old. He stopped in the middle of his quick signatures and sat reading and examining the whole piece. I told him any comment on it was welcome. He signed , then dated it saying that is a comment in itself. I had made a copy which I offered him which he smiled and willingly accepted.

That's a great item and story. I wonder if he regularly signs some items he forgot about!

[Ben Eads]

Very nice, indeed, Herbert! WOOT!

[herbertwest]

That's not mine ;)

Would love to see the whole letter, seems as though there are descriptions of the three stories included.

Will get some better pics up now that I am home... was a whirlwind trip and was always on the go sometimes without the best computer or online available.
Need to find the old pics or take new ones get to photobucket then bring over here sometime between the catch-up naps I keep find myself taking.

Then this can be added for posterity to our Short Works wiki!

Holy F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that little black and red book that came out for Wizards and Glass as a little prelude worth something? I saved my copy and its mint... I have just joined and noticed it here a few times on different peoples items! haha

[biomieg]

They usually sell for $15-25.

It's probably worth between $10 and $20.

wow thanks guys! I scored a stellar set for very little money from an older man getting out of books... he was missing Drawing of the Three in #576... what could I do to find that book?

This is just a shot in the dark, but maybe you should contact "DMG" and see if they will act as middleman to broker a trade or sale.

[Jimimck]

I have trouble with DMG replying to emails about purchases from them, let alone from a customer of theirs.

Well, it is a "shot". They're not the same since, Karen left, true!!

[AKC]

AKC just put a "down-payment" on something "really special"..........Stay tuned.....

(yes, its a bit premature to mention it without pics OR actually having it in my possession but I couldn't help myself)........

[webstar1000]

Guys your right... I tried to get a hold of someone there for a week after I got the books... finally got a guy on the phone and he was not that helpful. Wouldn't tell me what I could do other than come here and talk to other DK enthusiasts. Then I told him how much of a fan I am and he goes "listen I am really busy and need to get on a plane.. anything else you need?" Did not get the warm and fuzzy's... heard Karen was stellar though... I sure hope I can find the books I need.....

Wanted and awaited for along time for the Dutch fans, but finally there is a limited, but unnumbered, hardcover of TWTTK :)

Thanks to Shaq, I've just received the WH edition of Doctor Sleep.

And yesterday I went to the avant premiere of Carrie (yeah...I won two tickets...) and got a promo bag:

Wow love that! Nice score.
And as promised here's the posting of the DM proof with Dec 1980 inscription (not a new P&J but made a deal with Fsmdr to post it if she posted Salems Lot...)

Congrats RF! With the dinged numbered copies, I'm still curious what the buyers of the non-dinged copies received. Was the count increased above 750? Did they get PC copies?

Mine was #717.
I don't feel like starting and maintaining one of those "..What # do you have?" threads. But if someone gets a #>750 that would be interesting.
