Your New Pride and Joy!

Anyone know what type of pen King is using for his signatures? I love how "flowy" they all are...almost look water based, maybe? IDK. Maybe it's just his penmanship. Thoughts?

Tippy you're up! (He knows exactly what brand of pen King uses. He told me once but I forgot.)

[sharki69]

That's a pretty nice haul to come home to. Congrats Shac!


That's all? I thought there would be more. Just kidding. Wow, that's a great bunch of books to come home to. Congratulations Shac! I really like that cover on the RPO Hebrew edition.


Nice indeed!

John


Congratulations, Great Haul Shac. Good to see the Finders Keepers have arrived Ok.


Looking good, Shac- Congrats!


Congratulations, Shac! Glad you had a good trip and nice surprises upon your return! :clap:

Nice haul Shac!

Thanks all ! Now I need to find shelves....

I believe he uses a Uni-Ball.

[André Linoge]

Awesome-- thanks, Killjoy.

In thread-related news: went to the flea market today and rescued a 1st of Dolores Claiborne and a DVD copy of Thinner for $5. Not bad for a rainy day, I suppose. :yawn:

Also picked up a clean copy of Workingman's Dead for the vinyl collection. :cool:

[wolfehr]

Not Stephen King, but wasn't sure where else to put this. Got it a few weeks ago from one of those Gauntlet Press spring cleaning things in their newsletter.

I've just "almost" finishing sorting everything out after I moved to the new house. I still have several boxes with magazines and other stuff to organize, but the main bookcases are already in place :) I'll post pics of the new arrivals soon as well.

Can't thank enough David (Wiz) for some of these items. From a Buick 8 Audiobook sample is one of those promo items I've been after for a decade, for example.

[Cwalker]

Todays hits, at bookstore #1

On Writing - 1/1 - $10.00
Hearts In Atlantis - 1/1 - $12.00 upgrade from my 1/2
Joyland - 1/1 - $10.00 cover without the "#1 NY Times Bestseller" banner

Todays misses (it sucks to be poor) at bookstore #2

Danse Macabre 1/1 (RRD281 on CP) book Fine, DJ Good rip on spine $20
The Colorado Kid - very nice copy in bag, $26
Stephen King: Uncollected and Unpublished - like new, S/L #276 - $95
Ghosts of the 20th Century - TPB - signed and inscribed with doodle by Joe Hill - $28

The Beast That Shouted Love At The Heart Of The World - Harlan Ellison, first edition HC - $13.00
this is important to me because of the short story A Boy And His Dog. Never seen this anwhere else.

Found a new to me bookstore. She has a very ecclectic collection. I'm hoping that at least a couple of these will still be there in a week or two!
Any of these look like good deals?

Today, I ventured into Lisbon Falls and caught up with the Frank Anicetti, Jr. at the Kennebec Fruit Co. Had a Moxie, chatted it up, and laughed a lot. Frank's a real genuine, quality guy. If you ever pass through Maine, you've gotta stop by Kennebec Fruit Co. It's a wicked good time, bub!

Anyways, while I was in, I asked Frank if he would sign a 1st/1st of 11/22/63. He happily obliged, inscribing:

"To Joe
A Moxie Drinker
Frank Anicetti"

After he was done signing my book he looked up and said: "Titus has got the truck up on the lift!" Great stuff...

[carlosdetweiller]

That is a great story! Thanks for sharing. I had my first Moxie a couple of weeks ago when I was in Maine. I can't say that I liked it very much and my wife only had a couple of sips of hers. I think it is an acquired taste.

I've lived here for most of my life and never acquired the taste... reminds me too much of a Fisherman's Friend Cough Drop..... *shudders* hideous...

[André Linoge]

Haha, of course! And yes, it certainly is an acquired taste. Us Maineiacs are brought up on the stuff, so it doesn't seem so foreign to our palates, but I just imagine how the robust flavor would be a bit overwhelming for some!

[André Linoge]

I've lived here for most of my life and never acquired the taste... reminds me too much of a Fisherman's Friend Cough Drop..... *shudders* hideous...

Well, except for Chris I guess, hahaha. But yes, there are folks here who don't care for it. I find many do though.

[zelig]

Congratulations guys! Even though that Moxie doesn't sound too good, I think I'd went to try it just so I know what it tastes like.

[André Linoge]

Congratulations guys! Even though that Moxie doesn't sound too good, I think I'd went to try it just so I know what it tastes like.

It's kinda like a licoricey, mediciney taste. Super unique. You know what you're drinking straight away!

[zelig]

Sounds like I might like it then.

[André Linoge]

Sounds like I might like it then.

I'd be happy to mail you a can, if you'd like! I don't know how the carbonation would feel about it, but that's what plastic bags are for!

I know they sell it in one town in PA, another in OR and all over the place here in Maine.

[zelig]

Thanks but I don't know how well it will hold up in the mail! Maybe if I ever head over to Maine we can meet up at the local Moxie joint.

[André Linoge]

Of course! Sounds good, hahaha. Frank loves to tell the living history of Moxie; so if you do make it up this way, be sure to stop in and see him!

Congratulations John! I want one. :smile:

[jreitan47]

Nice, John! I didn't even know this one was coming. I've almost worn out my copies of the original Companions over the years. I'll have to request a review copy from St. Martin's from one of the mags I'm writing for.

[carlosdetweiller]

That is nice, John. Like the others I didn't know a new edition was coming out.

There is some minor shelf wear to the DJ, but thanks to some sage advice from RF a while back, I have a mint unfolded DJ that will replace it!

I was lucky to be one of the first birds to pre-order from Amazon UK a copy of Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman. Amazon emailed me later telling my copy is containing a printing error: 2 lines missing on each of 6 pages towards the end of the book. They apologized but I was IMMENSELY pleased as such a copy of notable Harper Lee with the entire related buzz, and the more so with the printing error, is very sought by collectors. According to a report in AbeBooks.co.uk its value has skyrocketed to $1550 (I paid 17.50 GBP). See the link below.
The US 1st print run was 2+ MILLION copies, whereas the UK was only 25,000, and a tiny batch from it had the printing error.
The pages with missing text are 261, 265, 268, 272, 277.

I'll have to check my UK copy.

[mosheprigan]

John, did you buy it from Amazon? if yes then they should have already informed you about your copy. Most copies with the missing lines arrived to Amazon AND Ireland. NOT Waterstones, etc.

I got mine from Book Depository.

John

[mosheprigan]

If you have it right now check page 252, for example:
the page ends with "... I'm done for"?

[zelig]

I happened to have ordered the book from Amazon UK, and I just checked my copy. The first one I received does in fact have the missing lines at the bottom of those pages.

The replacement copy showed up a few weeks later, and that one has the corrected pages. I had no idea the book with the errors was selling for that much.

[mosheprigan]

Yeah, zelig, you are LUCKY! Keep it in a sealed safe because I intend to steal it from you ... lol
I also got the replacement copy for FREE.

[Br!an]

One book sale doesn't set the market price. Personally I don't see this printing error as adding any value.

If people are actually willing to spend that much then I have only one word of advice. SELL!!!

So do you have one with the printing error or they apologised before sending you an "error" copy and therefore you dont have it?

[mosheprigan]

How're you doing, Jeremy?
I do have the book. Here "smiling" at me on my desk. Amazon UK apologized AFTER I had bought it. I was fast like a rocket and pre-ordered it on their first day of advertisement. .

[stroppygoblin]

congrat"s all, nice grab Moshi and Zelig, John always nice proof's. Simon i'm glad you got the dustcover off Abe, I was the one that mentioned it and bought one my self. The dealer is less than 20 miles from me.

Ah OK. I got mine about 6 months ago for the same price after RF posted about it. May have been the same seller. I cant see any on ABE right now.

Mine does not have the printing error.

Congratulations Simon. Yeah, it's a large book for sure. Mine is still in the box in a cupboard because I don't have anywhere suitable to display it.

[jreitan47]

Congrats Simon! I hope to get just an unsigned copy soon. One of my favorite books of all time. Sadly, mine was stolen from my house from my ex-husband. He almost got away with my Letters From Hell too!

Love it! Love it! Love it! Did you get it from the artist himself, or from a secondary source. I have not seen anything like this crop up. Just beautiful. Very envious!

Great artwork! Clearly inspired too by Death in Ingmar Bergman's Seventh Seal if not noted or recognized before, which is fine in MY mental picture of him.

Good call, I can see the resemblance. Great film too.

I agree sharki69, AKC is the MAN! Like you and Simon, he has recently, and for an extended period of time, helped me in a huge way as it comes to building to my collection. Always fair with his price, careful in shipping and extremely friendly. Also, have to give a big shout out to the Room 217 Caretaker and lotguy who have also worked with me closely in building my collection. I love this place and how everyone helps each other out. Clearly, folks can make more elsewhere, but the espirit de corps is strong with this bunch. Thanks, guys!

[AKC]

Appreciate the "shout out" fellas. Yep, could probably make more elsewhere but, I sincerely want to keep all books within the family and I love seeing the various collections grow knowing that I had a small part in helping to make that happen.

Jeff, your TWO BOXES worth of stuff is on the way! Wait until everybody sees this haul…..

Nice Shac, congratulations!

Yes, the Brodart was certainly a challenge. I think mine is still essentially intact, it just has the paper portion removed from the "missing" portion of the DJ.

"Bad Boy"? It's not "Bad Little Kid" anymore? What does the book have?

[herbertwest]

Would need to be confirmed, but the official website still titles it "Bad Little Kid"

Looks like it says "Bad Bay", not "Bad Boy". Bizarre!

[Sir_Boomme]

Hi all. I'm not a collector of books so I have a question for you all. Why do I see multiple copies of some? Is each one different and more valuable than the others? I'm curious. I love the pictures you guys have posted though. :)

Hi MonteGss:

There are various reasons for multiple copies of some books. Let me address the DT series first and I will lay this out very simply and there is no intent to insult anyone's intelligence.

The DT publisher Grant, issued each hardcover of the series in different states, a Signed/Lettered edition (signed by King and artist), a Signed numbered edition (signed by King and artist), a regular trade edition, and in the case of the last 3 books, an Artists edition (signed only by the artist). Some collectors like myself desire all states of the book for their collection. Also, with the DT series, the holy grail is to own a complete set of S/L editions all with the same number. While I could expound further, I think this gives you a rough idea as to why multiple copies are owned.

Also, some of us own, let's say a regular 1st edition of The Talisman, but also own another copy signed by King, or another copy signed by Straub, or even one signed by both. As you can gather, there are lots of various combinations.

I hope that goes a ways to answering your question. We love questions here, so keep asking away!!


and here Dave, I always thought it was just because you were one greedy mofo bibliophile.... still waiting for you to answer my emails BTW :)

[jcmanske]

Tim (AKC) gave a huge boost to my collection and I made a nice contribution to his new acquisitions fund. Transferred from AKC's collection to their new home are:

Flatsigned copies of 1st/1st Carrie and 1st/1st The Stand, Danse Macabre S/L, Six Stories S/L, and Traycased Colorado Kid S/L numbered out of 33. I simply amazed at the quality of the condition of the dust jackets and the book for Carrie and The Stand. Thanks, Tim and I hope you are well on your way, and we all look forward to seeing, whatever it is you are acquiring next!

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments and again to Tim for working with me.

Hey! I recognize that book! That used to be mine. Funny how things make the rounds.

I imagine that through our King items we are all much closer than six degrees of separation. It would be interesting to know the path our various collectibles have taken.

[TCCBodhi]

No need to picture it, but I got the CD Mr. Mercedes slipcover in. The airport paperback I have fits into it nicely (with it inside of a bubblewrap bag). Gives me a LOT of relief to give the paperback some extra protection, both in structure and in sun exposure. Looking forward to getting the Finders Keepers slipcover now!

I imagine that through our King items we are all much closer than six degrees of separation. It would be interesting to know the path our various collectibles have taken.

New arrivals in today's mail:
Mystery Scene Reader tribute to John D. Macdonald signed/limited paperback with King non-fic contribution.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/JReitan47/King%20Collection/FD94ADCB-A3C3-495A-8588-882D46234A8C_zpsue6fnmsj.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JReitan47/media/King%20Collection/FD94ADCB-A3C3-495A-8588-882D46234A8C_zpsue6fnmsj.jpg.html)

King wrote a wonderful tribute to JDM in that one. I love the part where he talks about discovering JDM for the first time (1959, Murder in the Wind) and the influence it had on a young 12 year-old writer:

"[I was] knocked cockeyed by it... and both while reading it and afterward, I went around in a state of exhilaration, thinking 'So it can be done. It can be.'

"By 'it' I suppose I meant telling the truth about life even while you were writing for the popular market, so often regarded by those self-esteeming English profs as a market made up of closet sadists, lowbrow truck-drivers, and bored housewives. But even at twelve, with no more experience of life than a rural upbringing could afford, I knew the feel of the real when it touched me in that book. How could I, or anyone, not feel it? Murder in the Wind did not reach out and touch you; it grabbed you, jerked you into a dark alley, and assaulted you.

"MacDonald was writing about people I knew, about smells I had smelled, and I thought, about the way I would feel under certain circumstances. It was like seeing your first color movie after a lifetime of black-and-white."

My new pride and joy just arrived yesterday. I know it's small potatoes compared to some of the gems I see on here, but I've been patiently looking for a S/L He is Legend that's in my price range for quite some time. Being the Matheson fan that I am, I have found signed copies of I am Legend and A Stir of Echoes (and also the PB edition of He is Legend signed by Joe Hil, Joe Lansdale and F Paul Wilson), but now having the signed/750 hardcover just makes my collection that much closer to complete. To round out the epic mail day, I also received my S/L editions of Bill Pronzini's Kinsmen and Femme from forum member Tommy.

[Priest]

One of my personal top 5, and finally in a fantastic condition!

New proof arrived today. Not one you see that often.

VERY NICE Zelig

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I had a proof DJ with my Bachman Books proof if I remember correctly.

[zelig]

Thanks Jim. And yes, Alan there was a proof DJ with this proof but unfortunately the copy I got didn't have it.

[goheat]

Wow, Paul, that proof must be pretty rare! Congratulations on one in that looks to be real nice condition!

[zelig]

Thanks John, appreciate it. I hardly ever see one for sale. There's one on Abe right now, but I didn't get it because of the price then this showed up at a more affordable price. It's in good shape. Might be some slight fading to the spine, but otherwise binding tight and pages are clean.

[jhanic]

Congratulations, Paul. That's a scarce one for sure!

John

Some amazing stuff as usual, guys. I would kill for that Thinner.

Had a fun find at one of my local used book stores the other day. Beahm's The Stephen King Story in very good condition with publisher's slip and press release tucked in at the back.

This is more of a "New found pride & joy". My mom just came across a stack of misc papers, pamphlets, postcards and menus from my first trip to Bangor in 1998. Meeting Stu and visiting the old two story Betts Bookstore downtown and BookMarcs across the street. Many many memories!!

I'd just like to acknowledge what a great seller (and member) Tim is. It's always good to have transactions go smoothly when buying and trading through TDT.org, but the mark of a truly great seller is how they handle things when it doesn't quite go to plan. Tim really stepped up to the plate on this one and I highly recommend buying from him. It is an honour and a privilege to have books from his collection now in mine. Thanks again Tim!

[Jimimck]

I've always loved that edition. Congratulations of adding one to your collection
