Great catches, Bill!

Some anthologies with King stories and The Colorado Kid. $9

Not really P&J, but I wanted to test uploading the photos here, instead of Photobucket, as Jerome suggested in another thread. Pretty easy!

That is what I do with the stickers also. After I put the Brodart on I place the stickers onto it. That way they are on the book but they aren't. If I ever sell it (very unlikely) the new owner can either leave them on or just change the Brodart if they wish. It is a win win for all involved.

[uturn83]

cool idea, where do u get the stickers?

Will someone post some pics of the DM Port? Dying to see it:)

[Robert Fulman]

Very nice (although that 3rd printing in the background is sad that you don't think it's a "true" Grant Gunslinger). Speaking of Grant books...

I recently acquired two copies if Phil Hale's Goad, with both of the variant Dust Jackets. I purchased one copy without a dust jacket last month and then amazingly found another copy on eBay last week that had both dust jackets. I was pretty excited:

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/4918DAB3-FB7E-4CD6-8A13-D6B957AE16FC_zpspz5shq4r.jpg

To help stay on topic, I'll point out that this book contains some of the art from second edition of Drawing of the Three. Interestingly, the titles of the paintings given in DotT are different from the ones given in Goad.

http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag74/Robert_Fulman/FFA22B6D-E783-4EC8-AE4B-01E80F8B43EF_zpsjtggmsvd.jpg

I also now know that in addition to the dust jacket variants, there are also end-paper variants, as one of my copies has red end-papers, while the other has white and has an original sketch by Phil Hale in it. Grant's website describes a Limited edition of 60 copies that are quarter-bound in leather and have a full page drawing by Phil Hale. I assume that the second copy below is one of those copies, but bound in the trade (cloth instead of leather) binding. The limited costs $450, so I'll be content with my copy for now:

I don't think there will ever be an S/L to even come close to topping the S/L of The Stand. Not even any of the Lettered editions. I just hope when CD puts theirs out that it comes close and if King does sign one that it will be THE STAND. All I know is that either way signed or unsigned I will be getting a copy.
Brian I just hope CD finds away of not letting us down.

I believe the number is one written on the box: #690.

Can't imagine CD dropping the ball on this one. I have chatted with friends at length on this and they have two Double Days to live up too... The Stand and Salems Lot. I am not sure King will sign them... I cannot imagine Brian and company not trying. I do pray for one sig to bring it all together like say.. The Green Mile... maybe the artist Port that is coming? Or the last book in the series that never got any S/L love? Either way... excited to see where this project goes. I think our first sight of Carrie will indicate the future and they do my fav all around editions so... I know it will be great!

[Papaseraphim]

In addition to the King signature, I would be great to have Berni Wrightson somehow associate with the Stand project. Maybe the cover or interior illustrations.

A real beauty. I got three of these in the original sale, $290 each I think. Sold two for big bucks, but I never kept the box or the tissue on the one I kept for myself - I wish I did. I didn't know any better back then as I was just beginning to collect. Congrats!

Was at my local bookstore and they had a cart full of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction magazines. I picked up a bundle for $3 that included the first of The Gunslinger. It's in near perfect condition, although it has the address label. I also picked up the 4th story of The Gunslinger in near perfect condition, no address label, for $0.25. I figure that's not a bad deal.

No, it´s no tissue. It´s glassine. Looks at the pictures too much yellow. Have used a slight sepia-effect.

The glassine I've seen has a bit of a reflection and the photo doesn't look like it has any, thus the perception that it looks like tissue. Regardless, it's beautiful.

[LostAlivE]

Glassine or tissue. Isn't that kinda like asking if you leave the strinkwrap on or do you take it off?
Either way he got the best S/L ever.
The Dark Man portfolio looks better than the Dark Man S/L imo. It would be nice to have both.

Holy shinola! Very, very nice acquisition, Superfly. Definitely the holy grail for King in my mind. What made me really sit up and take note however, was the fact that it's "my" number 690, that I've had for the last half dozen or so S/L's. Not that I see myself obtaining a limited Stand anytime before I finally graduate in two years, but man, keep me in mind if you ever decide to sell. Or trade. Or whatever.

Anyway, congrats on a fabulous looking book though!

[Papaseraphim]

That is most excellent Jerome!

And you definitely deserve it.

Congrats Jerome ! Best P&J of 2014

[herbertwest]

Wonderful !
Congratulations Jerome!

[Roog]

Nice, Jerome! This must be the holy grail in your collection! You're done with collecting now, right? :wtf:

[Papaseraphim]

So...

Anybody going to critique the signature on Jerome's new P&J? :tongue1:

Nick

[Merlin1958]

Congrats, Jerome. You certainly deserve it for all the work you do, year in and year out!!!


Honestly, you folks have no idea!!! :clap::clap::clap:

[Randall Flagg]

So...

Anybody going to critique the signature on Jerome's new P&J? :tongue1:

Nick
It looks like King's common "cramped" signature, particularly the "King" part. The weak droopy loop over "Stephen" is a real concern. It looks almost flat and not the normal smooth, almost parabolic (ellipse?) curve one would expect. I suggest you get several opinions before bidding.

[Rachel Readman]

Great to see the book King sent to you Jerome, you absolutely deserve it!!

And this just in...

Thanks for trumping my P&J:couple:

I am so, freakin' happy for you. It couldn't have gone to a nicer person (well perhaps me...).

Woo Hoo!

http://www.imgion.com/images/01/Animated-Congrats-Bloon-.gif

[The Library Policeman]

Amazing, Rachel! Love it :D

[stroppygoblin]

Truly inspired inscription Rachel - love it! :clap:

(personally I'd be happy with the box label! - Sender: Stephen King - Woo hoo! :panic:)

[carlosdetweiller]

Fantastic, Rachel! Well deserved.

[Rachel Readman]

I'm truly thrilled and privilaged to have this book and will truly treasure it!

Thanks again everyone.

[webstar1000]

Nice stuff Rachel!!

[Papaseraphim]

Fantastic inscription! :smile:

Congratulations Rachel.

[idlewarnings]

Congrats, Rachel. That's amazing.

[Jimimck]

Awesome inscription!

[Lot guy]

Very Happy for you Rachel!
CONGRATS!

[Frankie]

Amazing Rachel! Super jealous, but you deserve it!

[cit74]

Those are both awesome books and inscriptions - great new P&J's - and both well deserved.

my new P&J cannot touch them - although it is my 1st Gunslinger (and now a complete first DT/artists set - and now I feel like I actually belong here :))

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, Rachel!!

[stkmw02]

Both VERY impressive and awesome additions!

[tippy4]

Congrats to both Jerome and Rachel...very cool additions to your collections.

This is the first signed GE of The Shining I have seen, and on the Mr. Mercedes, I think I have seen around ten for sale.

Both very rare!

Rachel....was that inscription your idea or was it King's?

Either way...one of the coolest inscriptions I have seen.

[racerx45]

Jerome the thing I like about yours is that it was unexpected and how cool to get a heart felt thank you for the King himself. Thanks for sharing

Rachel I love your inscription, it give me chills, good chills but still. Very cool.

[herbertwest]

Congratulations !

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Great P&Js Jerome and Rachael. I'm very envious of them both.

[Ben Staad]

Congrats and well deserved!




Rachel chose a Gift edition of The Shining. It is being sent directly to her.
This is what was in the box:


But was it signed to Jerome?? or Randall Flagg?? Personalized to the best site owner/manager of the year? Did SK write you a note? Did it go something like this?

Dear Jero,

How's it going! Thanks for the best SK website in the US.

Signed, Your friend STevo.


No, nothing quite like that.

Well I sent in a few ideas but also said that I would prefer him to write something from his own heart and mind as it didn't feel right that he would just write something that I had chosen. It felt like it would be me writing something to myself if that makes sense. I said in the ideas "All work and no play..." "You are the caretaker..." "Here's...". Asked for him to use my name, sign and date and told him a little about myself and what I had done in the past to remind him who I am from when he got the CR sculpture and we did the book tour on .net etc. I don't know how much of the information filtered through to him but he clearly took the "You are the caretaker" and made sure to put my name in as well as sign and date. The "Here's..." is not in the book but in the film so would have been a bit wrong and was the silly/amusing option I suppose. In some respects it seemed fitting that he would write something chilling and I think that's what I got.

To be honest he could have blew his nose on it or wiped his arse and wrote a personal message of any sort and I'd have been happy. As long as it was personal from him to me is all that matters. :thumbsup:

Now THAT's a collectible! :scared:

[wizardsrainbow]

Jerome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!

[wizardsrainbow]

Apologies for not being around here too much....I literally have to parse out my time to various things and I still am constantly behind. That said, badly miss this place and I wanted to come here and share some stories/artwork with you. I've acquired quite a bit or original art over the last couple of years (LOTS in 2014) and most of it has just been parked off to the side in my Betts office. Michael Whelan's wife Audrey and their jack-of-all-trades handyman "PhishBob" are whiz-bang framers so they agreed to frame my artwork (half at least is Whelan art). I had 13 pieces done and just picked them up 2 days ago. So I am sharing pictures of these and a couple more I already had them frame earlier.

I did what I could in taking pictures...the time of day was bad and I did my best to reduce glare, but a couple shots you can clearly see me and my camera....such is life.

On to the show:

This 1st one is a Ned Dameron original...I own the remarqued book with the same scene (book cover) but he did this in a different color scheme:

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW1.jpg

Another Dameron original (I've owned this piece awhile):

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW21.jpg

This is an Erin Wells original from Doctor Sleep:

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW3.jpg

This is one of my favorite NEW pieces....Michael owed me for something, so I got this piece and a few others:

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW5.jpg

A closer view:

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW6.jpg

This piece....last time I was at the Whelan's and we were just sitting around talking, Michael "doodled" this out for me in about 15 minutes!

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW7.jpg

A closer look:

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW8.jpg

This was a Whelan original that I bought from a guy that Michael did at an art show...it reminded me a little of the Dark Tower with Roland at the top...

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9.jpg

This Whelan piece is a pencil sketch of Charlie from Firestarter....

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9b.jpg

OK THAT'S ABOUT HALF THE SHOW....am getting bugged to go make dinner for the family....I'll post the rest later.

[Dan]

Those are great, David!

[webstar1000]

Wow I would love to have some of those!!!!

[shaq]

Those are great, David!

Pic 1 and 4 are amazing.

Where do you hang them all. I have 4 pieces from another king artist and struggle putting them up. But then again, one is of wolf from talisman. I love it but the girlfriend doesn't!

Great art.

[jhanic]

Beautiful, David! Congratulations!

#4 looks very intriguing. I would love to see some better photos of it as well as the others.

Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff, David!

[Merlin1958]

By now you all probably know that, Rachel Readman won the HF Grand Prize this year. I have been an advocate of her for some time now, but it seems fitting that NOW may be the time for folks to take notice. I posted the following in her thread and I am imploring you all to take notice and action.

You all realize that collectively we just might make a difference for, Rachel. If each of us emailed, Mr. Freeman about utilizing her skills on an upcoming project he may just do so to spare himself!!! I'm already in, he's heard my opinion several times however, anyone else willing to take a stand and change the current thought? Let's rally around this wonderful, Lady!!!!

Post when you have emailed, Brian so we can get a count.


Can I get a witness? LOL Let's see what TDT.Org can do when motivated!!!

[Pasiuk57]

GREAT stuff!

[wizardsrainbow]

Continuing on...

I bought 2 Mark Geyer originals from the new PS Publishing issue of Pet Sematary....this is Louis

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9c.jpg

The detail is really awesome (this is a little blurry sorry)

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9d.jpg

and Church the cat...

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9f.jpg

Jill Bauman's original oil painting of Tess for Big Driver in Full Dark No Stars

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9g.jpg

Since Michael Whelan cast me as Father Callahan in his updated Dark Tower characters he did at Steve's request...and Ned Dameron painted me as Callahan as well....I asked friend Glen Chadbourne to do me as Callahan as well...this is his original rendition...he's really got the mad scientist hair going....I rather like it.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9h.jpg

This painting I've had for 5+ years and never framed it....it was a collaborative painting that Michael Whelan started and was then finished by another artist at an art expo. I bought it off eBay cause it has Whelan's trademark signature. I took it to Michael years ago and he asked me if he could borrow it for 2 weeks as he wanted to completely redo the piece to what his mind's eye originally held, so he used this piece as his morning "warm up" for a couple weeks...I finally got it framed.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9i.jpg

ok, these next two pics don't do the piece justice, but this is original Whelan from Little Sisters of Eluria

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9j.jpg

a closer look...blast it's a bit blurry

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9k.jpg

I pulled this pic from here...unframed version

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Roland_Doctors.jpg


This one (Firestarter Whelan cover art) is only a signed numbered print, though you hardly ever see these for sale anymore. I snagged this one in a trade recently having never bought one before.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9l.jpg

I will close the show with a piece (not new to my collection) that I bought maybe 2 years ago...Whelan original oil of Roland...image used in Little Sisters of Eluria

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/MW9m.jpg

I am truly blessed to own such artwork and it makes me almost as happy as parts of my book collection....Dark Tower has always been my "thing" and Michael Whelan has been artist now for 3 parts of the series. I adore his talent and I do have several other original pieces floating around in other threads here....I will add a "P.S." image then of my greatest artwork Pride and Joy....Michael's rendition of me as the updated Father Callahan which appears on King's website game "Discordia." It's my 15 minutes of spotlight fame.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Callahan_framed.jpg

I go on and on like a broken record.....since I mentioned it, here is Ned Dameron's take of me as Callahan...

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Callahan_Susan.jpg

Good night all.

David loves to tease us does he not boys n girls? WOW I am in love with so many of those pieces. I never had the "hankering" for art but so many remaques later... it is now part of my collecting. On David's advise I secured my matching number in the Whalen signed prints for the Dark Tower. I was shocked that they still had some left AND in my number. Thanks David! And DOUBLE thanks for sharing those wonderful pieces!!!!

Brian

Hi! I tried to reply earlier, but my browser wigged out--I'll try again. Thank you, AKC--I'm glad you like the drawing. I know it took some time, but as collectors invest in these books, I wanted to make each remarque a decent drawing. Brian, thank you again for the commissions; it's an honor to be included in any CD project, but particularly one that involves King. :emot-cthulhu:

Anyway, I haven't been getting a lot of stuff lately, but couldn't pass up the book of prints from Jerad. Pictures can not do justice to the size of these. I can't even imagine the book they came with.

I do like a nice chess set. Very cool.

If I had the room, I'd love to collect chess sets.

From yesterday. 69 RPM's, 800 calories (bullshit, probably closer to 500 in reality), 62:57 elapsed time and 22.3 "miles" (once again marketing bullshit, the number actually means 4,460 crankshaft revolutions).
BTAIM a nice indoor ride.

15 km a day? Pfft, I ran that much each day 4 days a week before 9 AM. At least 20 on Sundays. Of course, now I'm in constant pain and can't even walk without my knees clicking.

Fortunately, I look absolutely nothing like that, ahem, gentleman, more importantly I have been lucky to be married to my soul mate and a lovely woman for 34+ years. She likes the goods, and lordy, so do I. She is the most wonderful person on the face of the earth. My wife is a dedicated, nurse and one of the best in the business. Her capacity for empathy knows no bounds. She puts up with me, right? LOL

Sorry to hear that you are now in pain.

@Randall : if it's indoor cycling, it wont be much useful, but just in case.
I use an iphone App called "Moves". It is very useful and powerful : it automatically detects how you move (transport, cycling, walking etc), and give you details about the duration, the distance, the kcal burnt etc. It also does the same with other sports (ie : squash, tennis, football, whatever) and you can log what activity you do.
It's really great because it does the job automatically and then you can edit some informations on your phone.
A proof of how great it is : facebook bought them about 2 months ago. And since they changed the privacy policy for, basically saying, that they can sell those informations. But.... oh well, it's very handy (at some point i considered buying a bracelet like UP, by jawbone)

Hi Lurker
Do you collect Umberto Eco too? I haven't this Easton Press edition, is it signed? Post some pics.
Am glad you've read the interview.

No, just buy his books when they come out to read. Also read all of Pamuk. It's not signed; it just came with one of the subscriptions I have with Easton.

I maybe putting 2 +2 together and making 5, but as Bill just got himself a signed copy and you are on the hook for a HF donation, that this came from a certain Wizard???

I did just score a signed 1/1 trade copy, but it had nothing to do with this. Us wizards make things disappear generally!! LOL My guess would be one of his "Hobbit" friends from down under perpetrated the hook up. LOL Those New Zealander's (I used my post card!!! James, is located in "Christchurch" of the "South Island!! Not too far from "Hobbiton") are a tight bunch. Just like "Hobbits"!!!

Nice acquisitions, dude!!!

[mosheprigan]

Hi Lurker
My PC crashed, fixed it only today.
Very nice this Easton version. A signed Eco costs pretty much but I have the Italian and American 1st signed.
I have Pamuk (the Everyman's edition) with Atwood who wrote the introduction - signed by both. Pamuk is gorgeous. A brave author who had no fear of the Turkish authorities. OH, I HATE THIS SCOUNDREL ERDOGAN !!!!

I told you my addition was bad!!

Awesome scores James - and kudos to whoever it was :)

[Jimimck]

Cheers guys

That FAB8 has been on my want list for a long time. Getting closer to completing my Gift edition set. For my sanity I'm not including the PS anniversary editions on that list :-)

The Twelve was a bit of an impulse buy, and now I realise I have to buy The Passage to match. That can wait a bit I think.

[Dan]

My new pride and joy! The pictures don't do justice to the craftsmanship.

Been a long time since I posted something new, but here goes. I finally got a remarqued sketchbook to go with my Shining limited. Bill was gracious enough to get me the remarque I wanted. As you can see, I have the new case from SP and I have added the dust jacket. Enjoy.

Me too! Thanks for posting the link. :rock:

When the book came I took it from the mailman and set it on top of the trash barrel (lid) while retrieving the rest of my mail from the mailbox. The barrel was at the edge of the curb and the weight of the box started to tip it over. I caught the box just in time before it hit the ground! Yikes! :panic:

The thing if freakin' huge! It's an awesome production. I really like the full set of prints too!
