Book Collection: NeedfulKings

[NeedfulKings]

Welcome. I've got a fairly diverse collection. A lot of King as well as a few other authors I enjoy.

I've been collecting for about 3 or 4 years now. It's turned from a hobby into a passion. :)

Enjoy.

Your Collector--Bill:

[NeedfulKings]

Other authors that I look for.

I'm a huge Richard Laymon fan. Having discovered him after his death pretty much sucks. But, I enjoy his work and love how collectible he is.

US and UK hardcover first editions. A few have been inscribed or signed:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/books039.jpg

US Limited Editions and Tread Softly (published under the psuedonym Richard Kelly):

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/books041.jpg

A few collectable paperbacks, including The Lawmen (written under a psuedonym) and a few "fastbacks."

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/books044.jpg

I purchased Tread Softly from Ann Laymon, who appears to be selling extra copies from his library. Whether it's on the up-and-up, I don't know, but I got the book way under fair market value.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/TS.jpg

I went through Army basic training with Michael Arnzen. A college professor and writer of novels, short stories, and horror poetry:

[funky dredd]

Nice collection!!! :)

[Erin]

Nice stuff Bill!

I have that paperback edition of Rage. I didn't realize it was hard to find.

[NeedfulKings]

Nice stuff Bill!

I have that paperback edition of Rage. I didn't realize it was hard to find.

If it says "Printed in the U.S.A" and has a number line 1 thru 9, it's fairly rare and worth well over $100, depending on the condition. Quite nice for a paperback. :thumbsup:

And, thanks, funky! :)

[Fsmdr]

Beautiful!. I love looking at other people's books as much as I like looking at my own books.

[Patrick]

Great collection, Bill! I love how you have all those books inscribed to both you and Jeanne. :)

[NeedfulKings]

Beautiful!. I love looking at other people's books as much as I like looking at my own books.

Thanks and I totally agree!!! I love looking at collection pictures!!! :cool:


Great collection, Bill! I love how you have all those books inscribed to both you and Jeanne. :)

Thanks, Patrick. She and I are in this together, so it's fun to get some signed to both of us. :thumbsup: I anticipate that we'll have many more. Jeanne's got a pretty snazzy collection too. Lots of signed 1st editions from various authors; Kingsolver, Auel, Ethan Hawke, Chabon, Atwood, Maud Hart Lovelace, etc...

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks for sharing.
Very cool inscriptions.

Great collection NeedfulKings:thumbsup: I agree with everyone, you're lucky to have so many inscriptions. Those are very nice!

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice! :)

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks, Guthrie and Ari. It's a start and we love doing what we do!!!

Patrick, I'll get some pics of Jeanne's books. :)

[NeedfulKings]

My new stuff.

Talisman/Black House gift set, signed by Straub and Rick Berry

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/books/Books_07/books002.jpg

Uncorrected Proofs for Buick 8 and Insomnia. I paid just under $100 for the two.

I like the Insomnia one with the red at the top with the white under it.

[NeedfulKings]

We were lucky enough to be mentioned in Dark Discoveries Magazine. The article is personally signed by the author Kevin Etheridge.

[NeedfulKings]

Crimson, I like the starkness of the Insomnia covers. The ARC is impressive! :)

[NeedfulKings]

Okay, here's my NON-KING/BOOK related stuff.

Our Terri Nunn (of Berlin) signed CD.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/Bart/books001.jpg

[NeedfulKings]

Also. Jeanne and I won a message board contest by a local band. We were invited to join them (and some band family and friends) in the studio for an evening. We actually provided backup vocals, clapping, etc. on a few tracks. At the CD Release show, Bart signed our CD as well as a harmonica (used at the show!). I put them all in a display case.

A printing of the e-mail saying that we won:

[Wuducynn]

Crimson, I like the starkness of the Insomnia covers. The ARC is impressive! :)

Yeah, I really wasn't making an artistic comment though.

[super sam]

Nice collection.

I really like your paperbacks of Roadwork and Rage :) ,
i´l miss them in my collection.
I will keep looking for nice copies to buy.

[Storyslinger]

Simply Amazing

[Letti]

*faints*

[Asterisco]

Outstanding!

[Patrick]

Great stuff, Bill!

I want to hear the songs you two performed on!

[NeedfulKings]

Great stuff, Bill!

I want to hear the songs you two performed on!

No you don't!!! ;) :lol:

I think the album's available on ebay or Amazon, etc.... All in all, I think we played a small part in about 6 songs. Salvation Road, We Were The Ones, Hangin' On and a few others. I can't remember off the top of my head. :)

Bart's got some ties to the Bay Area--he fronted a band called The Strangers for several years there.

Have a good weekend. We're off to the coast! :D

[NeedfulKings]

Bag of Bones ARC:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/books/Books_07/Coast002.jpg

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice! You have some interesting ARCs there! :)

[Storyslinger]

cool

[Patrick]

Nice ARC, Bill!

[William50]

That is awsome!! My collection isn't even close!

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks guys!!! :D

Here's my newest.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/temp006.jpg

[Erin]

That's nice NK! I really like the sketchy drawing/design on the cover.

[Asterisco]

Congratulations!! It looks great!

[funky dredd]

Very nice. How much did that set you back? Or just give a ballpark figure, if you don't want to say.

[Storyslinger]

Thats amazing

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks everyone. This is my first Grant ARC and it's awesome!!!!


That's nice NK! I really like the sketchy drawing/design on the cover.

I was immediately drawn to the sketch too! I had to actually look at the hardcover and see that it's there on the cover and the title page. Somehow, on this stark white cover, it has a whole different look.


How much did that set you back?

$80 here on a dtBay auction. :)

I'll keep adding here as my collection grows! :D

[Patrick]

Good for you, Bill! :)

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks! I hope to have a few more things to add after Christmas. :D

[NeedfulKings]

Got this today. Graven Image by Ray Garton. It's the promotional First Edition, limited to those who bought the Cemetery Dance coupon book.

I love the end page effects! It's a small book (less than 80 pages) but is the high standard CD quality.

[NeedfulKings]

I just finished The Last Motel by Brett McBean. He's a long-time Stephen King/Richard Laymon fan and I think his first effort was brilliant!

The book was issued with a limited post-card, signed by Brett, Brian Keene and the illustrator Keith Minnion. I managed to get Brett to also personalize it (all the way from Australia) to Jeanne and I. :)

[Randall Flagg]

Awesome stuff.
I really have enjoyed Ray Garton's stuff in the past. The postcard is stunning.

[Patrick]

Nice books, Bill. The publisher seems to have done a good job on both. :)

[herbertwest]

awsome postcard !
and lovely books..

[Storyslinger]

Awesome, Needful

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks everyone. I guess I'm an official Garton collector. I've got at least 11 of his hardcovers now. And a few rare paperbacks. I've read 5 or 6 so far.

The McBean postcard is great!

[Cutter]

Garton rocks! You have good taste. :thumbsup:

[NeedfulKings]

Christmas has come. :)

Imagination Fully Dilated II. This is a collection of short stories. Artist Alan Clark sent each author a picture and they wrote a short story. Sort of the opposite of an artist illustrating a story. Cool idea.

Here's the book and the signature pages:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Chr040.jpg

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Chr045.jpg

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Chr046.jpg

I love this book because it is signed by the late Richard Laymon AND from my old Army buddy Mike Arnzen.

Here's a remarque that Alan did for my copy.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Chr044.jpg

I also got my ARC of 20 Century Ghosts

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Chr047.jpg

And I got the hardcover Gunslinger Born. I was VERY impressed with the hardcover binding. For some reason I didn't know this had a dustjacket--I thought it was just an illustrated hardcover. Love it!!!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Chr048.jpg

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Chr049.jpg

That's all for now.

[Patrick]

That S/L looks like a great book, Bill. Congrats!

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks! I hope to meet Alan Clark early this coming year. I wish I could afford some of his artwork, but I may have to settle for some signed prints. :)

[NeedfulKings]

Well, here's my modest comic collection:

Gunslinger Born. A few promo things and just the basic editions--no second printings, no Variants. Yet!!! :lol:

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Comics003.jpg

The Long Road Home. A couple of promo things, the Previews Magazine (thanks to a WONDERFUL member here), the 1st and 2nd issue, plus the Batman 400, with an intro by King. Thanks to Patrick for the heads up on this one!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Comics010.jpg

My Joe Hill collection. 1st and 2nd issues of Locke and Key. A ComicShop News tabloid with an article about Hill. Speed Racer #1 had a 4 page preview of L & K. Spiderman Unlimited #8.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Comics007.jpg

And, after reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, I had to get some of the comics that were inspired by the novel. Fun stuff!!!!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Comics011.jpg

I guess I'm a comic collector now!!!! :lol:

[Wuducynn]

Beautiful! I have not been impressed with most of the variants anyway.

[NeedfulKings]

Beautiful! I have not been impressed with most of the variants anyway.

I may get them somewhere down the road. I wished there were "something" other than the cover that was "variant."

Thanks!!! Hey, I love your sig image! Did you do that??? :thumbsup:

[Wuducynn]

I may get them somewhere down the road. I wished there were "something" other than the cover that was "variant."

Thanks!!! Hey, I love your sig image! Did you do that??? :thumbsup:

I'm with ya. I've only liked TWO of the variants so far. One from the first series and one from the second. About my sig image thanks a lot! You are the first to even mention it, believe it or not. Letti-love did it. :thumbsup:

[Patrick]

Aren't you forgetting to post your unique comic doodle of the CK and Roland by that not-so-famous, not-up-nor-coming non-artist? :lol: Kidding.

Seriously though, nice collection you have going. :thumbsup:

Now I've got to go find that SpeedRacer comic, I've seen it on the shelf but I had no idea there was a preview of L&K in it. Which issue has the preview?

All Hail, I've been admiring your sig as well, just never said anything. Letti did a great job. :thumbsup:

[NeedfulKings]

All Hail, you can let Letti-love know that she did a great job!!! :D

Patrick, the Speed Racer comics are Issue #1 (there are two covers):

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/ba010.jpg

They've got a 4-page spread with the first few pages of L & K.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/ba007.jpg

An Artist????

Whom shall not be named????

:D You asked for it!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/Comics015.jpg

Priceless!! :D :D :D

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I guess I'm a comic collector now!!!! :lol:

Karen, good luck finding the Speed Racers. My comic guy had to order the second cover, but it was at cost, so no big deal. Man, I used to LOVE that show as a kid!!!

[herbertwest]

and what is the marvel 's best selling authors - the long road home???

[Darkthoughts]

That Alan Clark drawing is awesome...make a wicked tattoo :cool:

[NeedfulKings]

herbert, if you're referring to the little doodle a few messages up, it's actually our esteemed Patrick from here at .com. He sent it to me in a correspondence. :D


and what is the marvel 's best selling authors - the long road home???

It was a free promo item that highlights several current Marvel writers. Robin Furth and TLRH is featured in a few of the pages.

Thats cool NK. I actually have a Library Thing account too, but I'm so lazy. One of these days I need to get all my books in.

[Patrick]

Nice link, Bill!

[NeedfulKings]

Thanks guys! Michael Arnzen turned me onto it, so I thought I'd give it a try. It's fun. Nothing spectacular, but it's great to see it come together.

Hey Patrick. I finally snagged my copy of the X-Men comic! Thanks for the heads up on that and the Batman 400.

Next up is the comic box. :P

[Patrick]

Congrats on obtaining both of those two, Bill!
I look forward to seeing your comic box. :)

[NeedfulKings]

Patrick--you'll be pleased. :D

My



Only




Regret





Is that I should have bought two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/bookking/dt_com/SR_08003.jpg


:lol:

[natehorning]

I recently bought one too after reading the suggestion. It is not the most visually appealing aspect of my collection but it is very handy.


Nate

[NeedfulKings]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna "jazz" mine up a bit with some stickers. "Mejas", "New York", "Gilead", etc.

[Patrick]

Sweet storage container, NK! Where'd you get such a wonderful idea? :lol:


(I don't know how I missed those posts before, this thread was marked as read. My mistake, I suppose.)

I finally got my Bookcases assembled and most pieces of my King collection in place. I've still got some tinkering to do. I've got a few other King-related pieces with my Joe Hill and Jack Ketchum Collections. I'll get those pics up soon.

Mostly King. The top left shelves contain various Lettered and Limited Editions by other authors.

My few S/L include IT and Under the Dome. Others are gift editions. Lisey's Story was signed on his tour and Cujo is inscribed to moi. I have a "poor man's" Dark Tower series - First and Artist Editions. :)

Bookseller here in Portland that was set up at World Horror 2014. I felt guilty, but not for long. I bought the other two from the same guy. Many years ago, I picked up a lesser quality First of Rage from a bookstore for $4.

Yes, they were. My bad, I keep "Old School" records and didn't see your name at first glance. You are definitely in for the drawing. Good Luck!!!!

Glad to see my Photobucket pics are still here...for now! :)

Hi, Bill. First time looking through you collection. Nice stuff! I especially like the inscription in Heart Shaped Box.
