Awesome! Looks like you got the letter too

[zelig]

Yes. After I was told by the seller that there's no letter, I heard back to say they found it inside the book!

Congratulations!

I don't have it in my hands yet, but here is my new Oy remarque by Michael Whelan that my friend picked up from him this past week. I can't wait to see it in person!

[racerx45]

I like it very cool.

[webstar1000]

To put it bluntly... I could not wait to share this. I have 4 boxes of books sitting there.. and you know what? I don't care right now. This is a dream of mine to have a Michael Whalen original. Well this is it. And boy oh boy wow. It is his first working print or practice piece for The Man In Black. WOW.... all I can say is WOW. It is a whopping 28x18 inches!!!!!!!!!! I only have about 60% of it in the picture I snapped....I will post pictures when the framing is done. I blew almost a $1000 Canadian on the frame but this massive piece deserves it... pics to come when it comes back in. This was all I snapped before the frame store carefully took my baby away. The detail and it is signed to boot... WOW... WOW... WOW.... Happy Webstar right here folks!!! :heart:

Way to go!

[mcdonaldj]

Congrats to all - Amazing stuff. Whelan is a very, very talented artist. I was not aware he sold artwork directly or took Remarque commissions. Getting one in a 1/1 Gunslinger would be fantastic.

I'm not really sure if he takes remarque commissions anymore?? It was a favor from Michael for my friend. It's been promised for a year.

He doesnt. I tried my hardest and he does no commissions either.. I think he is semi retired. He is my favorite artist of all time. His work is amazing...

You say that it's a very special edition. Does that mean, for you... or is there more about it?

Long search for items are both frustrating and interesting, but ending a hunt for a specific item is always great. Congrats!

Amazed by the size of the It proof. Congrats!!

Very nice John. Congratulations! Just when I thought I was making progress on my proof collection, all these other versions pop up. I actually wasn't aware there were different ARC's for each version of the book from CD.

[Pasiuk57]

The IT proof is massive.....

[Lot guy]

Mike did you & bdwyer19 get an IT as well?

[bdwyer19]

Mike did you & bdwyer19 get an IT as well?

I didn't get the grab bag. Was responding to the picture that John posted.

[biomieg]

Is the IT proof as large as, or larger than the Doubleday Stand (Uncut) proof?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Is the IT proof as large as, or larger than the Doubleday Stand (Uncut) proof?

The proof is obviously the same size as the final book. It's the page blocks with a paperback cover. Duh!

[jhanic]

Is the IT proof as large as, or larger than the Doubleday Stand (Uncut) proof?

I'll have to check. A lot depends on the quality of the paper used, etc.

It would be nice if jhanic provided the measurements. Obvious or not, specifics are always helpful.

Couple of months ago, after reading there is movie being prepared about GOOSEBUMPS, I also noticed RL Stine's website that he apparently likes to recieve snail mail.
So I sent a letter saying how I read all the books of the serie when I was in primary school and that it led me to enjoy horror / fantastic movies and books, and led me to Stephen King's book... which led me to create a website and met him etc. And asked if he would accept to sign a book.

I sent this

And got this

S.T. Joshi, ed.

A MOUNTAIN WALKED
Centipede Press, 2014.
First edition. This one of a limited, undetermined number of "contributor copies," marked as such on the limitation page, and numbered in Roman numerals. Signed by the editor and many of the contributors, including Caitlin R. Kiernan, Thomas Ligotti, Patrick McGrath and (many) more. This copy has been "plussed" and contains a note of provenance from the original owner. Fine in fine jacket and cloth slipcase as issued.

A gorgeous book, the usual stunning production from Centipede. I have a copy of the numbered edition on order, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this variant for my personal collection.

[zelig]

Got me a Cujo!

Very nice. This made me think of something.... I remember seeing Cujo as a kid, and for most of my adult life I had a fear of dogs. I'm convinced it was because of the movie! Luckily I had an experience a few years ago that turned me completely around and now I love dogs.

[Merlin1958]

That just caused a massive fight between the left and right side of my brain.

LS: "Ooh - something we haven't got"
RS: "No. We don't collect LPE's"
LS: "but it's a 1st edition..."
RS: "No, it's a reprint/variant"
LS: "but, we have other variants, Insomnia, Tommy Knockers, Black House...)
RS: "No, thats different, they are variants of the 1st prints"
LS: "but, but, ALAN has it!"
RS: ".....<sigh>"

Fortunately my cerebral core intervened and told my body to shut down the laptop.

One of my good friends just by chance walked into a Maine bookstore a couple hours after King happened through there.

He gave me the heads up and I helped an indy bookstore out with a couple of other sales and they helped me out by selling me their last copy.

[Lot guy]

AWESOME TIM!

[webstar1000]

SO COOL! Love the story!

[Randall Flagg]

Outstanding. Very tough book to find with King's sig.

[herbertwest]

Whats better than a proof of an author that we love?
A personnalised-doodled-one !

Signed : "For Jeremy, Friendly, Bernard". The doodle represents GAIA, which is a main character of this book titled "The voice of Earth", by Bernard Werber.

http://club-stephenking.fr/img/BW/la-voix-de-la-terre--signed-proof.jpg



He always writes stories that are "quite different", dealing with ideology, science, religion and other stuff like this. And he also often doodle books that he signs, with something related to his books (ants, small genetically created small humans, trees, butterflies..)

[Randall Flagg]

Possibly something to do with how the image is hosted.

[herbertwest]

I dont think so : open the direct link to the picture, and it's shown normally... so, somehow, it's the forum that turns it.

Just received the F&G (Folded and Gathered) pages for Donald M. Grant's edition of Desperation.

For those who don't know, the F&G is a set of folded pages (signatures) before they are bound.

This Desperation set includes the (unfortunately) unsigned limitation page with the spaces for King's and the artist Don Maitz's signatures. All the illustrations are included.

Great items!

[herbertwest]

Yesterday I attended to a french signing by Neil Gaiman.
There was about 300 people I guess, and the signing last about three hours and half.

It was a nice opportunity to meet him, speak to him a bit, and getting 3 books signed. He is nice enough to sign pretty much anything you put on front of him (one of the bookshop staff said that he would only sign 1 book + as many copies of OCEAN which is his latest book here).

So I got him to sign a copy of AMERICAN GODS, a copy of OCEAN as well as an ARC copy of SHADOW SHOW (dedicated to Ray Bradbury). When I asked him if he remembered it, he said he did and he looked at a copy (being surprised to see a prepublication copy), talked a bit about Ray Bradbury...

Two things stroke me the most :
1) I knew it, but he has such a nice / peculiar voice. It is so easily recognisable. I really love his voice. If you never heard him, I SO encourage you to listen his inspirational speech "Make good art" which he did at a university of arts a few years back. It's really a nice speech. Really moving and touching
>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikAb-NYkseI
2) Somehow, I thought that he was writing and signing quite elegantly. I know it sounds weird, but the way that someone holds a pen make it sliding on a page can be... rough or, contrarily, sort of elegant. He was the latter, taking his time to write and speak with everyone. Obviously the fact that I got him to sign 3 books also makes him spending more time, so it's better to chat a bit :)

I'll meet him again on monday for a press conference :)

Awesome doodles! I met Gaiman last summer for the US tour of Ocean. Super friendly, but he was too busy (1,700+ people and 2 AM by the time the line was done) to sign much more than his name to the book. I did manage to get my first edition of Good Omens signed as well, which was cool. Congrats on the books!

[Dan]

I've told myself over and over that I don't collect proofs. BUT, then I saw these and bought them. Desperation and The Regulators were in the shrink wrap and Insomnia looks brand new, also. Desperation is first state with "Steven King" on the copyright page.

Just browsing around on ebay and saw them with a buy it now option. I'm not sure if I overpaid or got a good deal, but i'm happy with them.

If anyone has an estimate on their value, I would love to hear it.

So I have a story... I thought long and hard about my favorite book of King's other than the Dark Tower and it always comes back to what got me into SK... and that was IT. I have the lettered, a couple F 1sts, the sewer grate Dolso, matching S/L and Port and the GE I wanted remarqued.... so as some know it is not an easy task to get that done by all the artists. For those of you that don't know Glen Orbik is sick and is not doing them right now but graciously agreed to hold my book until he felt better from Chemo to do it.... my thoughts and prayers are with him... That book project has been on-going for sometime and looks like it will take more time but hopefully by early next year I will be able to show you. They all did 2 page full color remarques... BUT THIS P&J is not about that... it is about a score that goes far above that.

What you see below is true.. it is done by Robert Giusti. It is his orginal cover for IT done back in the 80's. It is quite large as you can see and signed. He is almost 80 years old. He was born during the depression!!! He is not a easy man to find... an does not do this... in fact he never has... and has made it known to me he never will again. He is such a nice man, and very hard of hearing so at times I spoke to his family member... but he, at his age... still has it. I will take many more pics when it arrives later this week. He, interestingly enough, would HAVE NO part of drawling in my book for fear his paint would bleed through. It took me months to find him and weeks of teaching and showing him remarques before he turned me down... he said he wanted thousands to do it and that was that... then a week or so later... he contacted me and said he would do it... but not in the book and gave me AN AMAZING deal. He also painted it and told me I could trim it down and glue it into the book (kind of cute) and asked what the size was. I gave him the book and he did it as if it was open to cover both pages like the other artists. I would never damage this work of art. I know of no other in the world and he has never done this before. It is the pride and joy of my IT collection.

This definitely fits the category. With all the work you put in your pride must be off the charts and the art work put the joy right up there too.

For a lot of reasons, IT is my favorite 1st US trade cover. Congrats; thats an amazing piece and thanks for sharing with us. Be sure to post pics when you have it framed and hung.

[Frankie]

Got this a while ago but hadn't gotten around to posting it yet. You can't really appreciate the size until you see it in person, really just an amazing, amazing production. I had kind of avoiding reading about it or looking at pictures of it knowing that sooner or later I'd add it to my collection, and I'm glad I waited. I didn't even know about the slide out portion which really surprised me.

My mother was over at my house shortly after I purchased it, and she's an avid (not King) reader and worked for a long time at a small bookseller. Normally she looks at my King purchases and tells me I'm a wastrel, but even she thought that this book was a bargain at the price paid.

Some amazing new P&J's there, folks!

Some truly remarkable P&Js over the past couple of days.
I just got this one yesterday; not exactly Stephen King, but closely related enough that it might be interesting to see - also posted a little about it in the Joe Hill section.
A little while back, I made a donation to the Pixel Project - a worthy cause to help prevent violence against women. Please follow the links below to read more about it - and in return, Joe Hill would create a 75 word, hand-written story and send it to me on a postcard. The 75 words turned in to 200 and the postcard became a letter, which arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I don't know that I would be allowed to post the whole story, but thought it would be fun to share a peek at it:

The story is called A LITTLE SORROW, and it's about a sad, lonely man that stops at an unusual little shop to see if he can buy something to ease his pain. Joe suggested he was happy with it and may put it in his next collection - if I agree. I'm pretty sure I will.

That is fantastic Surly! Would be awesome to have the first/only handwritten version of a story that makes it into a collection.
