Your New Pride and Joy!

[Theli]

Very nice additions Matt and JSMcMullen!

[Merlin1958]

Very nice indeed!!! Now if you only had one of those with a, Maitz remarque AND signed by, Mr. King!!! Ahhhh, that would be sweet!!!

It is signed by King. It's a S/L!


Oh, doh!!! Sorry, still in "HF whore" mode. I need a day or two to come down from the high!!! LOL My Bad!!!



Please pardon my stupidity here. I'm just so blown away that we actually made, and should well surpass the stated HF goal, that I was just looking for opportunities to plug "Gravy" auctions. Bad form on my part, but I hope you can all understand.



We did it, folks!!!!

[webstar1000]

Good stuff Guys... Love the Maitz and that NLR is sick my man!!!

[Roseannebarr]

NLR is my holy grail, my lottery dream! i have an unsigned copy, later inscribed and dated to my wife, but i want, need have to have the original! I like that better than the PLANT for some reason.

[killjoy72]

Agreed. Impressive new adds everyone! Congrats!!!

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice everyone! Congratulations!

[Priest]

that are some incredible add ons!
You really raise the bar each time i look in here ;D

[Ari_Racing]

None of the following have to do with King but in the last weeks I got some of the greatest acquisitions in the last years.

One of my life objectives have been finally fulfilled. On Monday I sold my apartment and on Tuesday I bought a house. It's not that big as my dream house (not even close LOL), but it's located in a nice neighborhood and has a nice garden where my daughter can play. I'll also have my own study where I'll be able to have all my collection together (and it's also a nice room to work, since part of my job is performed from home), a room for the projector to see films, and the best is that the house is ready to be expanded for a 2nd floor whenever I have the money (I ran out of savings), which might mean another room for books :D

Some modifications are going to be made on the house starting next week, so I'll move in July. In the meantime, I'll take a flight to Graz, Austria, Barcelona and Madrid (Spain) for 10 days, invited again by my company for the annual managers convention. And it's going to be the last time I'll travel as a Scout manager, since my boss confirmed me I'm being promoted to Local Operator Manager, in charge of all Spanish Speaking Countries in Latam (at this moment I'm in charge of Argentina and Uruguay). It's going to be a huge challenge (I currently have 30 people under my care and that will expand to 120+) but it has been amazing to see the company to trust in me so much. And this promotion will probably allow me to work just a little less (I'm close to become a workaholic, working near 15 hours per day from Monday to Sunday (Saturdays and Sundays I work less hours. It depends on how many matches I cover, but it's an average of 6 hours), since I also cover soccer matches and run a bookstore) since I'll stop covering matches. And it's more income, so that means something really nice: more books...and more SK events :D

[carlosdetweiller]

Congratulations, Ari. A lot of good things are happening for you!

[zelig]

Congratulations on the new house Ari, and for the work promotion. You sound like one busy guy. Between all that, I don't know how you find the time to post on the forum! I had to give up my day job so I can focus on TDT.org..... just kidding, but it's all good news and congratulations!

In today... Two new Proofs, Bachman the Regulators and King 1st state Desperation Proof. Also my family got me a Stephen King flow chart poster (http://tessiedesigncompany.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-stephen-king-universe-flowchart.html). If you have not seen it you should check it out. Pretty cool!

Congrats to you! It is in good shape!

Other than the crease on the front cover, it's near mint. There's no darkening of the pages, no other creases, nothing. On looking at my scan, there appears to be another crease or flaw near the spine, but that is not on the book. It looks like it's never been read.

John

[goheat]

Sweet, congratulations on that rarity, John!

[TCCBodhi]

I got a big shipment in yesterday, which I spent some time unpacking, documenting and putting Brodart covers on. These were smaller editions than I thought they would be, but they're attractive, particularly Thinner and Christine. I guess cars lend themselves to the covers nicely. :) Not my favorites, but not my mutts either. I'll keep 'em. :)

Nice. I have stuck with CD when buying them and have matching number 289. Are you matching the numbers too? Yes they are small, but I like that. You can put more books on the shelf this way :).

[Theli]

Very nice TCCBodhi! All matching numbers?

[TCCBodhi]

I match on Carrie, Thinner & going forward (and a VERY low, top 10 number for whatever that is worth), but I have mismatched numbers on Pet Sematary & Christine.

Plus they came all wrapped up in this "Santa Claus" type of bag, so double-plus on the feeling of Christmas there!

[zelig]

I'm matching on all except Christine. So looking for #102 on Christine. Congratulations on the new books!

[Theli]

Was hoping to match my Pet Sematary with Skeleton Crew, but my number has already been claimed. Ah well. My Thinner will be PC anyway, so I guess; whatever. Still gotta get Christine and Carrie.

[Theli]

Holy hell! Absolutely killer additions! A HUGE congrats on the Whelan purchase. Must been like cutting off a finger letting that one go.

[bdwyer19]

Awesome pickups there Tim!!

[TCCBodhi]

That's an amazing piece. Would love to own, but those eyes would work on me after a while.

[allasorte]

@AKC amazing and impressive. Are the Colorado Kid book set the # artist ones....matching number?

[allasorte]

That's an amazing piece. Would love to own, but those eyes would work on me after a while.

Would the eyes tell you to buy more books? That's why I can't own one :scared:

Congrats man.... It's a wonderful piece of art. Whelan is the man.

[jhanic]

Nice! Congratulations!

[TCCBodhi]

My husband has been so amazingly understanding in making sure that I keep up with the series and new releases. It would be nice to see some full on S/L editions on new books direct from the publishers, but I'm enjoying learning a little more to getting event signed copies. Y'all are a great and intelligent group and I'm glad to be around.

Big time congrats to all for their recent acquisitions!!! Just amazing items!!!!

[Lot guy]

Congrats Tim!!!! My NLR set and Signed proof are two of my favorite items!!!!

[biomieg]

I like the way you display it with the necklace, Tim. Good stuff! And like Jon, I'm wondering where people find their copies. I used to own an unsigned copy but only because a friend sold it to me, not because I found it for sale anywhere.

By the way, we're still waiting for pics of the entire bookshelves... :)

[webstar1000]

Congrats Tim and comiserations to Kris, I'm sure that was a difficult decision to let that go.

It really really really was brother. And the only reason I did was simple. I had a chance at something I have always dreamed of!!! The reveal is coming Monday:) I hope!!!!

Excited to frame when we get back from vacation: https://lhc-bsa.doubleknot.com/openrosters/docdownload.aspx?id=150064

Great stuff Tim! And you're right, you can never have enough 'Salem's Lot.

Nice adds there uturn, it'll be great to see them framed.

Kris, can't wait to see this item that was worth selling/trading a Whelan original for.

[jsmcmullen92]

Got my salems lot in today ill post some photos tomorrow when I get a minute to take some. I'm excited. Never thought I would own anything other than a BCE for this Carrie and night shift... still looking for those two however.

I'm excited for you. Salem's Lot would be a big addition for any of us that don't have it (me included)

[jsmcmullen92]

It's a 2nd variant. Got it for $425 Has a little tear in the front but the book feels like it has never even been opened. No staining or fading what so ever. Ill have some time tonight to post the pics. (Not easy from a phone)

[TCCBodhi]

Maybe the colors show a bit better with this new picture. Now I'm looking forward to the remarques that come with the CD portfolio.

[AKC]

GORGEOUS.......

Congrats again!

[jsmcmullen92]

As promised here are the photos of the 'Salem's Lot. It is a 2nd state. The pictures have a lot of glare, I could not seem to get them without it. The rippling on the top of the front is just from the brodart, the jacket is smooth. Other than the small tear you see at the top of the front and the chipping on the spine it is in amazing shape. Looks like someone took it, put it in a brodart and hid it from all sunlight for most of it's life.

So why did I sell the Dark Man Whelan? Here is why... the most BAD ASS picture I have ever seen of the Gunslinger we all know and love. These pics do NOT do it justice. The detail and realism Micheal Whelan uses is AMAZING.. making each painting he does come to life. This is oil on canvas is my pride and joy for sure.... Cannot wait to hang it tonight!

[stroppygoblin]

A thing of beauty. Congratulations Kris!

[webstar1000]

Very compelling. What size is it?

The oil itself is 12x16 and the frame adds about 2". The overall size then is 16x20 inches. It really stands out... he is a master at this. I love his work as much as King's.

LOL... no I am going to have to keep this one. I paid A LOT more than that. hahaha This was a piece used in the Legends S/L. I don't have it but I know some do here. I will have to get one! It's VERY cool to own a piece used in a book I have to say. Even though I have a concept oil and a working b/w which was used for Sisters... this is the actual one. Just love it!

I was going to say it, but several beat me to it. As in when a team wins a Stanley Cup and the winning team parades it around in their hometown. I was hoping for April. I'd even encase it to go out with it like a bullet proof clear case. Parade it around, take it out drinking with me to start conversations, etc. Of course, I'd carry some form of weapon to protect it.....obviously. It would be fitting to carry a gun with the Gunslinger. Right?

[Jimimck]

I'll take December, it would be nice to have for my Birthday!

............, Jesus?

[TCCBodhi]

Okay, MidSeptember so I can "have" it for my 45th Birthday on October 1st. Too bad possibility of damage prevents "exhibition" loans like this. Having the chance to spend some time studying in close detail what WE consider masterworks. Prints are nice, but they don't quite get the depth of the original painting (unless perhaps rendered on computer).

I can't say I'd have an easy time letting an oil original I owned, if I owned ANY, go "on tour", but I wouldn't be opposed to the IDEA of it.

I'm just yakking, I don't expect you to actually let it go, just expressing an idealism/altruism. :)

I think foreign bookstores receive the books well in advance and some of them just put them on the shelves instead of keeping them stored until the official day of publication. I'm not complaining!

[Merlin1958]

I'll take December, it would be nice to have for my Birthday!

............, Jesus?

Lol! Not quite - it's actually New Years Eve :)

(Presents? Very Kind! Betts Book Tokens please... :evil:)

Presents? it wants "Presents"? What has it got's in its pockets? LOL

[Merlin1958]

Nothing extraordinary but nice to have them in hand already:

I don't have any 'contacts' either, I just went to the bookstore and paid for them.


Nice snag!!!!






BTW, I hate you!!! LOL J/K

Does anyone know the ISBN of this edition?

Thanks to Br!an and Niels!

[biomieg]

Isn't that the ISBN on the back cover in your photo?

[zelig]

That's what I was thinking. It should just be the Plume trade paperback that was Permabound.

[Roog]

That's the Plume paperback ISBN on the back. Most rebound books from Perma-Bound or Turtleback mostly have their own ISBN.
A Perma-Bound ISBN should start with 0-605-xxxxx-x.

May I ask why you got a french THROTTLE?

[Theli]

I felt like reading a book in French to brush up on it. I went to a French school, but have hardly used the language at all since graduation, other than to read La Nausee a few years back. And it was short and cheap so it seemed like the way to go.

It may just be a quick sketch, but Bernie Wrightson has been a favourite artist of mine for years, not just for his work with King, but as illustrator and co-creator of my favourite character in comics The Swamp Thing, as well as his work in horror in general.

Very nice Dan, Saw that on eBay and was tempted. Glad you got it, congratulations.

[Merlin1958]

Congrats Theli, Are you getting the Nakatomi portfolio of the finished Stand plates?

I thought they were stolen in the "Die Hard" heist. LOL

[TCCBodhi]

I know, I was thinking the same myself. They are under the umbrella of the Takuro Corporation.

[AKC]

The damaged book was never sent to King for a signature. Therefore, it is not signed by King. The damaged book is not part of our fundraiser. It's just part of the lore.
As I understand it, Maitz is experimenting with the book (damaging it more :) )

Stay tuned, rumor has it the damaged book was recovered from the town of Desperation. Torn, battered and bruised by TAK but hidden to avoid complete destruction.

In route to Northwest Arkansas.....

Arrived safely....with a note from Don;

"When I originally painted this watercolor remarque, I left too much water in the brush and it caused the paper to buckle and ballon on the reverse side. I thought I could dampen the reverse and tape the edges, stretching the paper sightly to allow tightening and remove the buckling, I added weight to the closed book to flatten the page. I forgot to place waxed paper between the sheets of paper and the moisture was absorbed into adjoining pages, leaving the book sightly water damaged at the and around the title page. That is when I decided to give up and re did the remarque in a pristine copy from my book shelf. My wife is always looking towards a creative solution to a problem and suggested that I could approach the situation as intentional damage- a positive thing rather than have a book that is less than what it could be.

Thinking of the story and how the bad element in the book inhabited other species, I decided to go at the puckered pages with a petrified bird claw to rip the paper as TAK had gone after characters in the guise of a buzzard and golden eagle. I mixed up some red Windsor & Newton watercolors and transformed the pages to look like the claw had an effect on someone who had the book or, as if Tak had a hand in how this book appears. Please keep it safe from TAK and with the other 3.

Hey, Tim I have an idea for you. This collection of the 4 volumes should be forever known as "The 2015 Haven Fund Desperation Series". You should send the pics to, Tomas and let him immortalize them for you on his site. Just a suggestion.

Edit: Could these rate as a catalog entry of some sort? Pretty unique collection, IMHO

[killjoy72]

It is at that!:drool:

Unexpectedly, I recieved today a book from Moshe : an english translation of a french author that I quite like and who was on stage in Paris with King. It is, I think, his only book available in english (althoug there are better ones if you ask me).
THE CAIRO DIARY, by Maxim Chattam
(For information, the french author's name is MaximE)

If you are interested, here are more informations about the book
>>> http://us.macmillan.com/thecairodiary/maximchattam

Now, i'll only have to get it signed next time that I meet him :)

THANKS A LOT MOSHE !
