The biggest one being Gerald!!
Chase, good to hear from you.
I have posted on my collection thread a little piece of theatre that Gerald concocted. This was just prior to his photoshopped emails that he sent to me,
in an attempt...
Unfortunate indeed.
Nonetheless it is all of his own making.
Interesting to note that an anagram of “Gerald Winters” gives us “Great Swindler”.
How very apt!
At the beginning of December 2016 I purchased a Gunslinger Proof (Sphere) from Simon Patterson at Hyraxia books. Having received it I sent some images to Gerald Winters for his appraisal. (This was...
Jerome, I agree, business is business, however if it means crossing the bounds of common decency, trust and your word, then I for one would rather leave it alone.
In February 2017 a member here Chase Ivany advertised 16 signed bookplates by Stephen King. They were affixed into paperback books (not 1st Editions) ranging on a timeline from Carrie to Cycle of the...
Those are probably tray cases made from recycled paper and mains water.
How clever!
Good perspective from a collectors point of view, however I would have thought from an insurance perspective with most books apparently hosed into a soup, photographic evidence would have been right...
You are asking for visual proof.
Well we have seen images of the burst pipes, images of the owner in the basement, images of saturated boxes and images of dirt, what more do you want?
Oh I get it...
Apparently no images at all showing masses of rare books.
I did suggest in an earlier post that we could be informed, as collectors, of anything rare or unique that had been destroyed.
Supposedly...
My previous post was to highlight the kindness that people had shown and their efforts to help out. Also to establish what losses the book collecting world had suffered.
I cannot believe what I...
At such a distressing time as this it is heartening to see so many people coming forward to help. It appears that some very valuable and unusual items are to be offered.
Let us hope that this makes...
It is amazing to see that this thread celebrates its first birthday tomorrow and as far as I can see it has received three posts from "neo-trinity".
"Gerald Winters and Son, the new bookstore in...
If you are going to display items that are not for sale, then surely this belongs in the "My Stephen King Collection".
Gerald is fair minded and generous. I do not need to wait "until the not to distant future" to establish that in the present.
Similarly all the "facts are in play" and I can state without hesitation...
Sorry I have not been on the site while your questions were being posted.
Gerald supplied me the lettered "Danse Macabre" from his collection. As always the quality was first class, it was a fine...
Received a very rare lettered edition from Gerald on Thursday.
Wonderful condition, very acceptable price and the usual first class attention to all other details.
Thank you Gerald, much...
As I have posted in the past it is not uncommon for me to collect two or three copies of some signed first editions, when available and the price is correct.
I have just had the good fortune to...
Just visited Gerald's website. I think we can look forward to some rare items and amazing quality.
Take the time to look at his copy of The Hobbit, I do not think I have seen a better first edition...
This is such good news.
Gerald's reputation I am sure precedes him. The breadth of knowledge and advice will be helpful to everyone.
Above all a good old fashioned bookstore, somewhere to browse...
