Thanks. Still more to go but I am happy how it has progressed. Just need those big ones then I can work on another aspect of my collection.
So I decided to check out my DT book II again. I knew it was inscribed but I forgot what it said. I mentioned to David at Betts that I had an inscribed copy so he was wondering what it said. So, I sent him what is inscribed.
It says
"To Kaybird-
With admiraton, respect,
Thanks... and all my love
Steve King
6/14/87"
Then where it says "This is Copy_____ It is written "Authors Copy" Steven signed it again along with Phil in the correct spots.
So that's it. A Mr.Kirby was Mr.Kings agent in the early years of his career. Kbird was Mr. Kirby's sister. I think that is pretty cool:).
Nice!

Thanks. When I bought that one I did not know that it was a signed limited. The description only said it was signed and inscrobed. I all ready had books 3-7 so I thought that having a signed reg ed would be cool as well. When I saw that it was a limited I was excited:excited:. I thought to my self, even though it is not a matching set, at least I have signed limited editions for 2-7 now. With my first ed I was very happy with my DT set.
Kay is Kirby's sister, not his wife. That sort of changes the tone of the insc ription, doesn't it?
Thanks for the correction. I guess I got incorrect info. I will edit my orginal post. Still pretty cool to me though.
Thanks Patrick. I do enjoy collecting. I am reading LSOE and I am now ready to start the Way Station. So I still have a way to go in the series. But it should be a fun trip.
Very nice collection indeed!
Thanks David. Still some things I would love to get. I have learned that slow and steady wins the race:dance:.
Very,very nice collection you got there!!!!
:thumbsup:
Nice collection !!!
Thanks guys. I do enjoy it. And I have to say, so far I really like the LSOE. I am just going at a nice pace so I can enjoy the ride. In two more months I will have that Night Shift. Then all I need is Carrie, The Shining and Salems' Lot and.
Forgot to thank Billy :doh:
Thanks

That's all she wrote. Now I just need Salems' Lot, The Shinning and Carrie and I am done the bulk of my collection:rock:.
Just one more of the spine

The jacket cover and pages are in fantastic condition. I have not seen many jackets that look this nice. If I say so myself
Very, very nice! And in decent condition.

Congratulations! :)
Thanks guys. Slow and steady wins the race :)
Congratulations! Signed copies of NIGHT SHIFT seem to be hard to come by.
That DJ is so nice. I wonder if a book restoration person could replace the FFE that is stained, and improve the value of the book?
Thanks Carlos. Now I have two books that are singed and inscribed :)>
I don't know Randall. I might look into that at some point but part of me would be worried about the what if... issue. Yea, it is one of the best jackets I have seen. That is one of the reasons I jumped on it. The fact that it is a Non-Library book, no stamps or glue, and that jacket AND the fact that it is signed made me "over look" the stain. If I am not mistaken half of the 12,000 first ed went to Libraries so to get one like this seemed like a good thing.
That's a great-looking Night Shift.
I've got one like it, but mine's not a 1st/1st.

Thanks. It is one of my best books so far. Next to the Gun Slinger first ed and my S\L DT books that I have.
