Congratulations! I've contemplated whether I should get one of those since I first saw it posted... Looks great!

They look great. I really like them too. Now that I see this picture of them, I am reminded that I don't actually have TWTTK one! I must get it at some point.

I like the purple cover as well. You know what would have put that over the top.......purple around the pages like they did the blue cover.

Thanks Simon, I think some inscriptions trump a flat signed. Based on the condition, this baby spent its life in a bookcase. Poor thing is now on a shelf LOL.
I keep working on that thing we talked about.

Very impressive. Congratulations on the signed books.

[idlewarnings]

I went on a bit of a shopping spree the last couple of months. Snagged the Carrie about six weeks ago, thinking it would still be a long time until I finally landed a Salem's Lot and Night Shift. Last week the Salem's Lot showed up on eBay and I was the only bidder. The seller also had the Night Shift for sale which we came to an agreement on offline. Suddenly, I have a complete collection of first editions.

I was in 9th grade when I became aware of first editions and limited editions while trying to track down the elusive The Dark Tower book mentioned in Pet Sematary. I paid $125 for a first edition of The Gunslinger from a guy who advertised it for sale in the classifieds in Castle Rock. It took me until I was 43 to complete the collection. It's bittersweet in a way. The hunt is over. There will always be more books to buy, but I've finally completed what I set out to do. That's some kind of accomplishment.

Anyway, I'm thrilled with the new P&Js. The books are in great shape. The dust jackets are a bit rough around the edges but more than adequate for my needs. Couldn't be happier. Now I just need some more shelf space.

[zelig]

That's such a wonderful story. Congratulations! It took me about 25 years from start to finish to get them all so I kind of know how you feel but as you say, there certainly are more books to buy. Just when you thought you were done you realize there's still more to go after. Again, major congratulations to you!

Sort of not King related, but last night, a french author (who was on stage with King in Paris last year), was asked to present a movie in theater. So his choice was THE SHINING, and the evening first had a book signing.
So, I had the opportunity to discuss a bit more with him, get books signed, and watch THE SHINING in theater again :)

He signed an anthology to which he contributed : "For Jeremy, because you know the importance of short stories... friendly."

http://club-stephenking.fr/img/Collecting/chattam/13atable.JPG

====

"For Jeremy, the Gaia theory, to get scared with our "evolution".

http://club-stephenking.fr/img/Collecting/chattam/la-theorie-gaia.JPG

"For Jeremy, some 'Curses' with real spiders inside! See you soon."

[TrueNorth]

Sweet!!
I know how you must be feeling....satisfied. When I finally got my last 1st I was asked by anyone that knew me. "So now what"?
Now I look for perfect copies to replace the ones that are less than perfect. The hunt is never over. I love it.

Unlike John proofs don't do a thing for me.

[idlewarnings]

Congratulations!

(Now it's time to start on the proofs.)

Thanks, John. I can't compete with you guys in the proof arena. I'll leave those to you.

Although this is one of the unbound proofs from Cemetery Dance, it doesn't have the "1st Proof" or "2nd Proof" printed on it. There was/is another of these on eBay that also didn't have the printing.

Just one more of the CD unbound proofs to go now--Doctor Sleep!

This is my new Pride and Joy because it is so amazingly helpful and contains so much information which is easily accessible. The only thing I thought unique was the post it note style limitations page signed by the authors. The book, coupled with the forum and its members, are great resources for educating myself about SK.

I remember a couple of months ago Bob Jackson pointed out an auction where a copy of Nugget magazine (in not the best condition) was for sale (finally sold for 42 bucks if I'm not wrong). I found this one for 15 dollars and offered the seller $10. I went to bed sure that I'd lost the item due to a BIN. It didn't happen and the seller accepted the offer. :)

As for the Startling Mystery Magazine, I think I got a decent price: $221 for both. I already had the one with The Reaper's Image, but not in the best shape. And I also had one copy of Weird Tales but this one was $9 and I bought the first one for $47.

I spent a couple hours Tuesday with Michael Whelan and his wife Audrey at their home. My ulterior motive was to pay for and pick up two new pieces of original Whelan Dark Tower art. Art they say is in the eye of the beholder...but Michael remains not only a good friend, but my FAVORITE King artist of all time. This first piece was the preliminary painting that Michael did of Jake and Oy in book 7 when they were under the Dixie Pig and temporarily cornered.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Cornered1.jpg

a close up view:

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Cornered1.jpg

This next piece is of Cort, Roland's teacher, which Michael did at Steve's request a number of years ago. In early 2009, as King was planning to launch his Discordia on-line game for his website, Steve asked Michael to do paintings of all the major Dark Tower characters. This is the first time I had seen Michael's rendition of Cort.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Cornered1.jpg

A closer view...

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Cornered2.jpg

And the following is not new, and forgive the self promotion here....but Michael asked me to model for him to be the new face/image of Father Callahan. This image was used in the game on King's website and I own this original Whelan - Callahan. It is my "15 minutes" in the spotlight.

Neil Gaiman had a reading/signing event last night at B&N in NYC. I planned to go, but work wouldn't allow me...BUT - my NY friend decided to go regardless. I shipped her 5 of my books, you know, just in case (event instructions allowed only 1 additional item to be signed by Gaiman). Well, not so many people showed up, so she managed to sign 4 !!! she also told me it was the best signing she have been to - funny, smart and now she want to read all his books....

Also - Thanks to Chad, Eric and Aron who helped me to prioritize the listing :)

[goheat]

Beautiful books. I always loved Neil's work on Sandman!

[herbertwest]

Congratulations on the signed books !
Neil is definitely a nice author : open to speak too, basically sign anything put in front of him, and have both a nice peculiar voice, and, IMO, an elegant writing

[Aronstg]

That is amazing! Neil is one of a kind. Congrats on the big score!

Got these yesterday. Signed The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition (published by Gramercy Books, 2001). Also, a book by another of my favorite authors, Don Robertson, The Ideal Genuine Man! If you have not read any of his books, I highly recommend doing so.

Note that Stephen King also signed Richard Bachman in parentheses, which is apparently rare. This was signed by King and Robertson in 1988 at a signing in Texas. I found a link with more info about that signing, with a great photo, HERE (http://bookchase.blogspot.com/2012/07/stephen-king-and-don-robertson-1988.html)

I liked it quite a bit and I've been waiting a long time for the sequel that has been in the works for ages (supposedly).

Maybe not awesome collectibles, but they are pretty special to me. I received the following so far in "TDT.Org, Secret Santa" and whomever sent them my way I am greatly appreciative!!

I think that's a good thing Bob. If you succeeded in resisting the urge to keep acquiring books, you wouldn't have the incredible collection that you do. But I guess that's part of what makes us collectors. Not being able to resist. :smile:

[Papaseraphim]

Thanks! Whenever I resist it, I come to regret it later. I remember looking at a stack of Gunslinger 2nd edition books at at at The Science Fiction Shop in NYC back in 1984 and thinking I should buy more than one. Same thing with Cycle of the Werewolf...

Last two Christmas gifts came in today. These two titles are important to me because Cell was the novel that got me back into reading Stephen King after about 5 years off after relocating from Florida to Indiana. And I really enjoyed Joyland because of the nostalgic edge to the story. Thanks to Lot Guy for making the deal on the Joyland S/L and getting it to me via sleigh by Christmas! :wink:

Total if 5 gift editions. 1 inscribed to me, 4 unsigned, 3 S/L's, 1 prototype 1/1 & 1 Betts Bound 1/30 it found a good home Jerome!
http://rs777.pbsrc.com/albums/yy59/mrfjstbhf/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps5350bc0a.jpg~320x480

But it has been a little lonely

[zelig]

Wasn't there 12 or 15 of the black, just like the red? Why is that 1/1? Just curious.

[Lot guy]

The one above is the prototype for the 15 red & 15 black
Instead of leather spine & corners with cloth boards. This one is black leather spine & grey leather boards.

Thanks Paul! I've been looking for a Roman Numeral copy for awhile! Someday?

[zelig]

Yeah, maybe someday. If I remember correctly there was one red Roman numeral copy for sale from Ken Lopez books listed for $12K which sold this year. Not sure what it sold for or if my memory is correct but I'm pretty sure. Start saving now in case one comes up for sale again!

[Lot guy]

Looking to get a PC even(5done) market on these is about $5,500-$6,000.00. David said $6,000.00 is being a very generous offer. Last 2 PC copies went for $4,500.00 & $5,500.00 in the last 15 months. Optimistic but that's where I'm hoping to be. Plan is to sell a couple of my S/L's to help with cost if 1 comes up.

Looks amazing! You must be one of the first to receive it. Congratulations!

[jonp]

Very nice. Can't wait for mine.

[Papaseraphim]

Thanks. I am surprised as well, as I only got the shipping notice last night. Order was processed 12/23/2014 3:36 P.M. and I got it in less than 24 hours.

Wow the gift is super nice. Again CD impresses.

[ICry4Oy]

Can't wait!!!

I think it's prettier than that $4500 other Carrie :nana:

honestly that was my first thought too ;D

Seems to be a trend developing that would indicate that the only people that like the Lettered Edition Carrie from PS are the ones that own them....

Guess it just depends on an individual's perspective!

Well I think the owners of the PS Lettered Edition kind of have to like it in order not to feel ripped off. :evil:

CD's gift edition is so much nicer, it's not even a contest.

My point of comparison would be the PS numbered edition, which I liked a lot and thought came out very well. Still--though I don't have it in hand yet--the CD Gift looks great. I think they rose to the challenge here, with two quality publishers doing quality editions of the same book at the same time.

Robert E. McGinnis
and Art Scott

THE ART OF ROBERT McGINNIS
Titan Books, 2014.
First edition, first printing, limited state, one of 1,000 numbered copies signed by Robert McGinnis. With print featuring the trade jacket art, also signed by McGinnis. Fine in limited-state dust jacket and slipcase.

Waited awhile for this one, but well worth it. A beautiful book, and two McGinnis signatures.

[zelig]

Excellent. I love that artwork. He did the Breakfast at Tiffany's original movie poster if I'm not mistaken. A real classic.

[RC65]

I received the same limited McGinnis a few days ago...even more beautiful a production than I'd hoped for.

[zelig]

So seeing the picture and comments about the book, I went ahead and ordered myself the signed limited edition.

[Jimimck]

Picked Carrie up from the post office today. Gorgeous production.

Also came with WWZ that I really like too. Number 50. I found it fits my spare yellow slipcase from The Road to the Darktower quite well

That a CD case?

[The Library Policeman]

Yeah it's from Bev's Road To The Dark Tower by CD.


Great looking books, James!

[zelig]

Another great addition to a super fine collection! Congrats!

Outstanding, James!!!

[The Library Policeman]

Ah nice, Simon. Always liked that one.

[stroppygoblin]

Thanks Alan. I would love to see some examples of 3rd party slipcases for this book. I plan to get Jeff to make one, but I'd like to see what has been done before.

I don't have a slipcase for my copy either but it would certainly look good in one. :)

I got him to make a couple for me to match the one I already had. They are on the RHS of this picture.

You know what? That's a very good idea. This book does not seem to warrant a "Dolso" case, but a straight, traditional cardboard case makes great sense. When you contact him put me down for one as well. A S/L certainly deserves a slipcase.

[Lot guy]

Awesome Simon!!!!

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

Just "Stephen King" done in silver, in a silver box around it. Jeff will do whatever you want.

Yeah, I need to update that page, it's pretty out of date. I'll add WWZ to the list of books that the case fits and remove the "no coupons" text at the bottom since that isn't true anymore. I'll probably do that updating on Friday before we email the WWZ customers about the case!

You should have received or will receive a shipping notice. Check the CD thread for updates. There's still a few folks who haven't received theirs yet, me included. Although I did receive a shipping notice email.

Don't have mine yet, either, and haven't received a shipping notice. I did ask Mindy if she could tell me where I was in the shipping queue--I'd hoped to bring a copy of the book with me to Europe next week, as I have a pal over there--but she indicated that there was no way to tell.

To paraphrase Roger Zelazny, I am cultivating patience and smoking cigarettes.

Took me 6 months to get me a copy from Iran, but it has arrived; 'Stephen King Uncollected Stories' in Farsi.
Now I need to find someone who can tell me which stories are in there. 'Jhonathan and the Witches' should be one of them.
