Does anyone know if the UK hardcover of Carrion Comfort has the illustrations from the Dark Harvest edition? I don't collect foreign editions (for reasons of sanity and space limitations) but that is...

Go back a few pages, it's a subject that comes up constantly.

Hyperion is a challenging read but one worth the time you invest in it. The books get easier to read the longer you're reading. You...

There is a great book hidden in Drood. Unfortunately, like many of Simmon's books, it is about 200 pages longer than it should be. A good editor would be a godsend for old Dan.[/QUOTE]

Are you being serious? Never heard of him?[/QUOTE]

I've never heard of him.[/QUOTE]

These things happen. It's weird to me but I'm sure there's someone discovering a new to them author right...

Check out my post on this page. It includes some pretty famous writers commenting too.

It seems like not even Dan Simmons agrees with what Dan Simmons wrote because he removed the post. And he's NOT one to censor himself, even at the expense of losing readership/money.

Someone...

OK, now I'm interested. What did he say this time? You could pm the link if you don't want to post it here. Chances are I won't be able to read it anyway unless his Facebook is public.

Edit:

That's the one. When it comes to signed Simmons trades, it's really about having patience to play the waiting game. His signed books aren't expensive but they don't come up for sale frequently.

Ziesings have the lettered Prayers to Broken Stones for $250. A fair price and their shipping is free.

Agree. Simmons makes the reader work, that's for sure. Sometimes the payoff is there, other times not so much. That said he certainly has a diverse catalogue and isn't afraid to explore new...

Camelot marked the lettered edition of Olympos down ton$395.

To questions: yes, I've read it, and, no, it's not worth it. It's not as bad as FIRES OF EDEN, but it is in the bottom echelon of his body of work.[/QUOTE]

Gonna have to agree with Ron, Children...

The stories I've read on this board are truly amazing. I'd never sell those books. One of the greatest writers of our time took his time to personalize and mail them to you. Next to that, the SP...

Damn, missed out on that. Btw, Valhalla, that's a sick avatar. I have a Leviathan half-sleeve. I'm a bit of a fan.

Recent Simmons acquisitions. Summer of Night is minty crisp and signed to boot. The cost? 1/10 of the upcoming S/L.

I'm roughly at the same spot. A buddy just got eaten by a dinosaur...in space.

One of Simmons' strengths is using appropriate and fitting language he fine tunes to the story. A complex S.F. story...

I've been slowly rebuilding the Simmons collection. These are the recent acquisitions:

Ilium is the limited edition, "produced and specially bound by the publisher." Olympos is a signed trade. I...

Nice, thanks!
