Your New Pride and Joy!

[The Library Policeman]

You know when you finally get a book you've been after for ages and it feels good? Well this is one of those occasions for me. I've been here before with purchases on bigger/rarer items (S/L's and such) but this one is just as satisfying for me and it's a humble purchase that's not even in great condition but I just don't care as I've been looking for a while without success so I figure an acceptable copy is better than no copy at all (and it only cost me £8 or so any way).

As some of you know I collect UK paperback first editions (mainly because I love the cover art) and here is my latest:

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m609/kingpix/Mobile%20Uploads/2014-10/41DE13C3-68BD-4179-8FED-A3EFCE175ACC_zpswc4zpuof.jpg

It's a goid feeling for such a modest purchase - but I suppose that's what makes us collectors, right? That feeling?, and I'm certainly happy to have it until/if a better condition copy comes along.

[webstar1000]

Cool! This must be a hard one to find eh?

Cheers, Kris. They ARE out there. Bob and Michaël both have copies in their respective collections (in much better condition than my copy) but they don't seem to appear for sale that often and believe me I searched. Often! :D

[jhanic]

Congratulations! I know that feeling VERY well!

[biomieg]

Congratulations, Alan! Now I don't feel so bad anymore about not selling my copy to you in the past, even though we discussed it a couple of times!

Hey thanks Michaël. I knew you were reluctant but I'd have wore you down eventually!! :evil:

[zelig]

Congratulations on the UK Carrie paperback! That's really fantastic. I know how you must feel over the acquisition because I also collect the paperbacks and have this one too in my collection. The one I stil haven't been able to acquire is the 1st paperback of Salems. But I'm sure one day I will get it. Congratulations again!

[biomieg]

There's been a fair bit of discussion about which editions are the true UK 1st/1st paperbacks, Paul. Is this the one are you looking for? I sold it to Bob some time ago (before I developed an interest in collecting paperbacks myself) and it is the only copy of that particular edition I've seen:

[zelig]

Hey Michaël,

Yes, that's the one I'm looking for. I actually have these two below. The one on the right I've seen posted here somewhere, maybe from Bob. The one on the left I wasn't even aware existed until I got it. It's like the black US edition, only it's an NEL edition.

[biomieg]

That's pretty cool, I had not seen that one before! They look to be in great condition. This picture reminds me, you need to start a collection thread....

What!? You mean I have a book that maybe the big guns don't have? Man, I'm going out to celebrate! :smile:

And yes, thanks for encouraging me about the collection thread! I think I needed a shove in that direction. I will plan on getting it done soon...

[webstar1000]

Yeah Man you have become a really good member and I know you have tons of nice stuff! A thread is in order:)

[zelig]

Thanks guys... I really appreciate the encouragement! I'm going to get it going soon.

Okay, I got it done: Collection thread (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?18803-Book-Collection-zelig).
I know this is for P&J's, but my collection thread can be my new P&J. :-)

Simon Congrats!
Well done!

[LostAlivE]

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.

I would love to know where you got the "CLEAR" slipcover for the book. I would very much like to have one for my 2 books or at least the biggest book. Any details you can give me would be very nice indeed.

[LostAlivE]

Mine are still sitting in the box they came in would like to display them like you have.

[stroppygoblin]

I would love to know where you got the "CLEAR" slipcover for the book. I would very much like to have one for my 2 books or at least the biggest book. Any details you can give me would be very nice indeed.

The perspex case came from George Beahm who edited the book. He had a batch made for the larger signed edition as a one off and has now I believe sold them all. There was only 1 case made for the smaller edition which was a prototype, I think one of the members here snagged it.

[Merlin1958]

There is a case maker that was mentioned here in a post, damned if I recall which thread, that still makes the clear cases. I bought one for my trade edition 8-9 months ago. RF, may know where to go.

[LostAlivE]

If you don't mind saying what was the cost? That way if I find someone to make me one I will have a ballpark figure to start with.
Thank you Frankie and anyone who can help me find someone to do it,

For those who have not yet seen it:

Orson Scott Card

ENDER'S GAME
Centipede Press, 2014.
Deluxe edition, this a marked "Contributor's Copy," one of an undetermined number numbered with Roman Numerals, signed by Orson Scott Card, Brandon Mull (Preface) and David Ho (art). In "capped" cloth slipcase with a second volume containing the author's original typed manuscript from 1975 as submitted to Analog. All items new.

An extraordinary edition of this book, among my favorites of the recent Centipede Press releases. There are still copies available from the publisher. Pardon my horrible photography; the colors and design are far more subtle than I was able to capture.

That is a nice looking book! I liked Enders Game book. Didn't care for the movie.

Well it came in Friday and I was at the framers within minutes:) Here is the finished product. Still have to say I am AMAZED at the detail and how well he did for being 80 years old! He even drew a cigarette butt that i never noticed on the cover but did unpon closer inspection. Just awesome to say the least!

It's always a good feeling to be able to do so. But careful, it's easy to appreciate it and then it's "difficult" NOT to be able to read prior to publication :D

I am an advocate for removing the shrink wrap and then protecting the book appropriately. In the case of a set housed in a slipcase however, the shrinkwrap can be cut so as to remove the books while leaving the slipcase covered.

Yeah, I've done that too a few times. Neatly slicing the shrinkwrap so as to keep most of it in place... I think I may be in the minority of those who generally don't take shrinkwrap off books... I can't explain why really...

The dustjacket art are the only illustrations. They are replicated in red on black on the op-title page which looks cool.

Nice Binders, I really like those, is there a brand name?

These were from Grant's collection. (Thanks Grant! All good thoughts going your way. You were one of the first to make me feel welcome on this site. :rose:)

The binders are from an Australian office supply company.

It is a very nicely made binder. The sleeves are about 5/16" short of covering the height of the later issues though.

Very nice! I've been after the Es for years. I've seen a few show up recently on eBay, but haven't wanted to spend the money on it right now. This is one of those "kicking yourself" books for me. I could have got one way back for a few bucks...but I didn't... Anyway, congratulations!

Nice stuff man! All of which are on my want list!

Thanks Kris & Zelig, the ES slipcase seems fragile as this was the first in a while I found without being dented or wear.

It is a pretty book, but I hate variants. Buying 4-5 copies of the same book just for a different cover...what a money grab. The comic book industry is notorious for variants and I hate them too.

Thank you :)

[Merlin1958]

Agree 100%, Eric. I have a US 1st coming which means I will have 5 different copies of the same book!

It's an illness :(

Lol :D

[Merlin1958]

Lol :D


You know, earlier in my collecting career I used to wonder why all those "Super-Collectors" had like 10 different copies of the same book. More recently I know otherwise!!! Alas, lack of shelf space prohibits my full on participation. I have to pick and choose my spots, but those UK variants are mighty tempting!!! Aside from HF items yet to be shipped, my more recent acquisitions reside on a favorite office chair!!! LOL Some reorganization is warranted I fear!!!

[Ricky]

Has anyone gotten any signed copies of Revival yet? *cough, cough* NYC signing attendees. *cough, cough*

[Merlin1958]

Austin, Baby!!! LOL

Today's "pride and joy" I was only able to play a vicarious part in, but it was wonderful. I met a fellow collector who has an AMAZING collection. I won't go into details, b/c it's not my place to let the cat out of the bag so to speak if this person would rather stay under the radar for now, but this collection might be second to only Bob's as far as desired editions go. We talked for about an hour and I must say I could have talked for hours more had I the time. So not only did I see some amazing books, I have a new friend in the collecting community. I'm proud of that, and it gave me joy, so I think it certainly qualifies for a "Pride and Joy."

[sharki69]

Here is mine from NYC event. Very excited !

New King goodies. The shirt looks sharp. Many thanks to Jerome for having them made. The guitar is only a few months old but it made sense to show it with Revival.

Just landed another rare book for pennies off of eBay.....

DEMON-DRIVEN: STEPHEN KING & THE ART OF WRITING, George Beahm, ed. 1994

http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx199/Drake1969/SK%20Library/_57_zpsa9944bc9.jpg

http://i755.photobucket.com/albums/xx199/Drake1969/SK%20Library/_58_zps860d1935.jpg


This is the rare 1994 hardcover limited edition of DEMON DRIVEN: STEPHEN KING AND THE ART OF WRITING, edited by George Beahm and published by GB Publishing/ink of Williamsburg, Va.. The book comprises seven long essays and features about the life and work of King, and is one of the scarcest King collectibles. This is the First Edition, First Printing, limited to 300 copies, signed by editor George Beahm and by contributor W.C. Stroby (aka novelist Wallace Stroby). The book contains the following: “Creatures of the Night,” an introduction by Beahm; “Of Books and Reputations: The Confusing Cases of King, Koontz and Others” by Michael R. Collings; “Stephen King Meets the Jim and Tammy Zombies” by Howard Wornom; “Stephen King: Dreamweaver” by Stephen J. Spignesi; “Stephen King’s Maine Haunts” by David Lowell and “Digging Up Stories with Stephen King,” an extensive Q&A conducted by Stroby in which King talks in depth about his writing process; and the title essay, “Demon-Driven: Stephen King and the Art of Writing” by Beahm. Book is a hardcover library binding, as published, in Very Fine-Near Mint condition, unread, with unmarred covers, tight spine and bright white pages. This is a publisher’s presentation copy, unnumbered.

I'm pretty versed on books by and about King and I've never seen this one before. Looks interesting....

[Lot guy]

Awesome!

[Drake69]

Wow... I think I just entered a whole new level of esoteric. I posted a comment about my Demon-Driven acquisition on Facebook, and David Lowell, the author of “Stephen King’s Maine Haunts”, just posted this great comment...


Hi Robert! Glad you like it! Please excuse the typo errors in my article, but in 1994 I wrote it on a typewriter and when the author retyped it into a computer file, he neglected to proof it--thus a few noticeable errors. But he made it up to me by publishing it "error free" in "The Stephen King Companion" (second edition). Anyhow, enjoy!

I feel honored that he would take time to reach out to me. I mean, I know he's human just like everyone else, but it's cool that he did that.

Thanks for letting me share! :rock:

[Br!an]

That's very cool. Sounds like a decent guy.

I did make a general announcement on picking these for people, so far I have shipped over a dozen of each. Blue edges are now getting difficult to find (I need at least one more for another member) WHSmith are still available but disappearing fast around here. PM me asap.

Well thanks for the compliment, but it truly is my pleasure. I have had help from many members here in obtaining books as well as information, etc. Giving back where and how I can seems right.

Actually, the big plan is that sooner or later one of these big name collectors is going to pop their cloggs and I'm hoping I get left everything in their will. Keep it quiet though....

you know what they say about Curiosity....

J/K of course you are allowed, Trade price on all UK editions is £20 (or just over $31). Currently both WHSmith and Waterstones are doing the books at half price so £10 or $15.60. This is common but doesn't last more than a week or so at which point they go up to full price.

Shipping varies but from what I have sent out so far its about £14 ($22) for one book and £22 ($34.50) for two (assuming no tracking and insurance). So far I have kept any additional costs to a minimum by reusing existing packaging and boxes but I'm pretty much all out now!

You'd think that a guy with 5 "Gunslingers" would ship a variant to a brother from the colonies just cause he's a nice guy!!! I mean it must be an honor to be able to say that you shipped a book to "The Haven Fund Whore" that will find its way into a HF auction. I'm sick as a dog so don't mind me.

[Robert Fulman]

I just bought this set of 11 Waste Lands transparencies on eBay. They are a lot smaller than I expected; I have included the Shardik print from the portfolio for comparison. You can see that the transparency is slightly wider than the print, and there is a bit more to see on the left and right. I don't know why or when (in the publication process) these slides would have been created. One interesting thing to note, I think, is that there are 11 transparencies, but 13 pieces of art in the book (including the end papers). The two missing pieces for which there are no transparencies are "Better Duck, Dearie" (Gasher) and "Leather Wings". The Gasher painting is the only one Dameron dated 1991. I wonder if it's possible that these transparencies were created before those paintings were finished.

Nice, I've been slowly collecting the 'Books about King' as well, specifically those that are limited. Not got that one. If you have the time can you add it to the catalogue section (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/forumdisplay.php?202-Books-about-Stephen-King-and-his-Work)?

A huge crate was delivered yesterday evening. Weighed 66 pounds!

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/firestarter1_zps2f7d30ba.jpg

21 wood screws to take out to open it up.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/firestarter2_zps46f2a220.jpg

It was really well packed.

A 34 year old painting by Michael Whelan.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/firestarter4_zps9975f8e6.jpg

I saw this painting in person in 1998 or so at The Book Sail in Tustin, CA. It was owned by the eccentric and very rich John McLaughlin. I thought that I would like to own it one day but didn't think it would ever happen. A sequence of good fortune allowed me to buy it from the winner of the Heritage Auction. I'm very proud of it.

[Randall Flagg]

Congratulations. Iconic piece of art.

[jonp]

Awesome! Congratulations.

[webstar1000]

Wow. Period.

[bdwyer19]

Congratulations Bob! I'm sure you're very proud to have that in your collection after so many years.

[AKC]

Congratulations Bob.

That painting belongs in your collection.

[biomieg]

That's just awesome!

[Lot guy]

Congrats Bob!

[biomieg]

Will you post a pic once it hangs on the wall? Are you going to display it in the basement, or somewhere else in the house?

[carlosdetweiller]

Will you post a pic once it hangs on the wall? Are you going to display it in the basement, or somewhere else in the house?

I have no idea right now. It is a really big painting and I am short on wall space. Also the frame and matting have seen better days. I might elect to completely reframe it. I didn't tell my wife I was buying it and (good luck on my side for once) she is out of town right now and didn't see it delivered. I guess I'll show it to her when she gets home tomorrow. I might be in trouble with her.

[WeDealInLead]

Unreal.

Mount it on the wall and see how long it takes for her to notice. Then plead the fifth. "Oh, this old thing...I forgot I had it."

[Ben Staad]

It could not have found a better home. Congrats, Bob!

[Drake69]

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/firestarter5_zps16cf2ef0.jpg

One of my favorite works of King art. Well done... very well done indeed!

[jhanic]

Congratulations, Bob! As someone else said, an iconic piece of art!

Bob, face it, you are in trouble. The best thing you could do right now is ship it to me. I will even pay for shipping and insurance to keep you out of more trouble.

Seriously, I know it's wrong to covet, but man I've always wanted to own that. Huge congratulations. I do feel better it lives among us here at DT.

[Scoogs]

Congrats, Bob! That is a truly fantastic new addition to an already amazing collection.

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, all!

And Bob...astonishing as always! That's one of my favorite pieces (King-related). :)

I've just received these:

Some of the items were really cool, others...well, the Men's Journal piece is crap :P

[carlosdetweiller]

Thanks for all of the positive comments. I am very excited about it.

[zelig]

Wow Bob. Major congratulations on this one! I'm so happy that ended up with you. When I first saw it on Heritage, I thought that would be the perfect edition to your collection. Amazing that you were able to acquire it from the winning bidder. It has come full circle now, from the early days when you saw it and now you have it... fantastic and again, congratulations! Oh, and hopefully you don't get in too much trouble with your wife! :smile:

[Randall Flagg]

Also the frame and matting have seen better days. I might elect to completely reframe it.
I think you could find something much more complimentary than the existing matte and frame.

[sharki69]

Congrats Bob. Amazing piece of art

[becca69]

Thanks for all of the positive comments. I am very excited about it.

Very nice. I think you are right and a new frame is in order. Can't wait to see the makeover!

[Pasiuk57]

GREAT purchase!!

Fabulous acquisition, Bob!. Yes, that artwork belongs in your collection for sure!.

Way to go Bob.....:). I'd be ecstatic to have that piece..I'm sure you will enjoy for many years to come.....

Thank you. I didn't get up during the night but I do find myself wandering down to the basement for no reason other than to look at it some more. Like most anything new, I guess.

[TrueNorth]

There is no other SK related artwork piece I would rather own. You would have had a serious bidder had seen it (I don't use my left arm much anyway).

I'm completely envious, so don't take this as a slight Zelig, but WOW has his signature ever started to get sloppier. "King" especially, I wonder if this was one of the last in a long stack of signed copies and the hand fatigue was starting to show?

I've noticed that. I'm definitely no expert on King signatures, but maybe one of the folks on here who knows a lot more about the subject can chime in. I liked King's signature from the 80's and 90's. But I guess as he gets older, and with all the thousands of books he's signed over the years, maybe it makes sense that the signature has changed like that.

I could be wrong but I think his signature really started to deteriorate after the accident in 1999. Maybe a combination of the accident and the thousands of signatures over time.

My New Pride & Joy: Nothing too rare or unusual at the moment, but I got a signed edition of Revival in the mail yesterday from the Portland signing apparently. From VeryFineBooks, so I could have done better, but I was too excited when I got the "Your reserved book is ready to order" email. Lesson learned. The "King" portion of the signature is a bit sloppy like in the example above, but I'm still happy to have another signed 1st. I'm also liking the story itself, though I read at a glacial pace these days, so I don't know how classic this novel will be yet.

My new P&J is a signed copy of Revival. Thanks to RF for the amazing deal and great packaging! I would add a picture, but it looks identical to all the others floating around.

I also got a TDT bookmark, postcard, and business card. They look very professional and high quality.

I think we had 12 signed but are down to eight.
I couldn't believe our good fortune when Stephen and Owen were in Toronto doing the tour. After the signing we noticed the book sellers still had a box of books. We asked if they would sell what was left and they said "It beats us carrying them".

I hope to sell/trade them. Looking for a Mr Mercedes trade.

Not a big deal but thought I would share. I made this for my DT matching set. It goes on the tube they sent. I have high end pure white paper in large rolls so I wrapped the shitty tube and then affixed this. I am not going to frame these as it is around a grand and I just frame original art. These are prints but VERY cool to have to go with your set. I am also offering this. If any member out there has this set and wants this label (it is a 6x12 mac tac label designed to fit the tube). I will change it for your number and send it to you free of charge:) Happy weekend friends!

Let's just say north of the $270ish area of Bett's. I'll do better to double check things next time before I pull the trigger. Other than the price, it's in perfect condition, arrived quickly, all the other good stuff.

I received these today:

Mixed feelings with the lot. Wolves of the calla is a PC copy, but I paid $350. I think I got a good deal. And I'm pretty happy with most of the stuff, even the Writing for teens magazine, which doesn't include The Furnace paragraph. But my main concern is with SK Uncollected, Unpublished. I wasn't going to say anything but just in case someone else jumps in, be aware that the Rocky Wood updated edition is...not worth its value. I've been buying the different editions released by The Overlook Connection, but this one is a joke. Less than 100 pages, texts repeated (the entries for two stories are EXACTLY the same), pages filled with lists, new intro...I think that all the interesting stuff would fill less than 20/30 pages. The new info isn't at all enough for a new book and, well...they made a chapbook that it's not sold as one. It costs 10 bucks, so it doesn't really hurt my finances or anything, but I think it's not worth it at all.

It is always an interesting group of items that you show us in these photographs of new acquisitions. The Writing for teens magazine should have the opening two paragraphs for "The Furnace" but they are on a card insert so maybe it has fallen out (or been removed) from your copy. Would be worth going through again to make sure you didn't miss it. I didn't even know about the SK Uncollected, Unpublished revision. Thanks for the warning.

Thanks, Bob! Yes, the card insert was present. Excellent!

I thought that the update was interesting. It mentions a few interesting new texts, ideas etc. That's pretty much what I expect from his book, so I wasn't desappointed.

Robert E. McGinnis
and Art Scott

THE ART OF ROBERT McGINNIS
Titan Books, 2014.
Stated First Edition; first printing with number code "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" on the copyright page.

A copy of the trade state--the limited is not expected until next month--purely as my browsing/reference copy. I could've done with more art, but otherwise a delight, very well done and recommended. Can be had for good prices on Amazon and eBay.

You bet, that McGinnis book has been on my Want List since it was announced; it's definitely In my next Amazon purchase. I toyed with the idea of the limited edition, but toyed around so long that I missed the boat (or at least it hasn't been offered on their site for a while, so I presume it's sold out). I missed out on the THE PAPERBACK COVERS collection, so this will be a welcome addition to my library.
