Got you. I slept so I missed out. That's OK. I can't do everything and I am already doing a lot. Congrats again on your book and Stardust.

Congrats, Jeremy!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Nothing fancy, but I received today a lettered reprint edition of the SKIN newsletter.
If anybody is interested, I will share some pictures later.
I see that the pseud of "Chaos Consultant" is attached to it. It rings a bell to me, but I can't quite put my finger on it

Love the pic of your book being held by it's subject, amazing!!!
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
Totally love it too !
Given that he is a superstar in Russia & South Korea, where his books sells a lot, I was hoping to submit to those publishers too.
A few years ago I got in touch with them. Unfortunately, it won't be as easy as sending 2 emails (I wished) as it seems that the russian publisher do not publish his books anymore, and my contact at the Korean publisher left the company a year ago.
Seems like its all a bad timing, but I will try finding out more

I thought I wouldnt get a french proof of the new King book this year, as even though I contacted the publisher back in november/december and didnt hear back til late january. And they said they didnt have any more proof.
Even though I am in direct contact with them since about 15 years and get a french proof ever since...
BUT, luckily I was contacted by a journalist and noticed another journalist that was looking for someone to read "If It Bleeds" for their website.
So I managed to get one. And I should be getting a second proof next week

We all know of « Frankenstein », illustrated by Berni Wrightson and introduced by King. I think, i could be wrong, there is a version signed by King too.
I own all the french version of that book : bazic version, numbered 1/500 and roman numeral (50 copies) with the worst ever slipcase
But here is something i accidentally came accross the other day : i knew there is a portfolio by a french publisher, but i never paid much attention to it.
The other day, talking to another collector i accidentally came accross an auction that intrigued me : an « artist proof » portfolio.
I put my bid, not really thinking i’ll get it, and guess what?
Not sure of what would be an actualy value, but i am not selling. Just have to figure out a place to put it as its quite massive and i dont have much spare place
Also, check out the note at the back : is there 3 different portfolios, with different illustrations? 😅

If anyone is interested by a copy of this portfolio, there is one on abe ($400 + shipping), although I found another way to contact the seller where he has put it for sale abput 75$ cheaper
Some has sold a few years back on Heritage Auctions.
If someone can access the selling price, I would be curious :

Last month was the 30 years anniversary of the publication of "The empire of the ants"
A book written by a french author, Bernard Werber. It was released 30 years ago in France.
It was released a few years later in english, but it didnt do very well, and none of this books were translated into english since.
But he has sold millions of books in France, Korea and Russia
For celebrating this anniversary, I wrote a small leaflet about him, that was released by a belgian publisher
I know Bernard in person, and he liked my essay and shared this picture
I also wanted to celebrate this anniversary by giving away a few books and copies of my essay, and by getting the books signed without telling the winners. So I did just that today, by meeting Bernard and getting some books signed
But on top of getting some books signed to giveaway, I also used that opportunity to get some books signed to me.
He did hold some french proofs for me (so voila), and I brought him my english/american proofs & arc of "Empire of the Ants" to get signed! Copies I accidentally came accross a few months ago... so below are some pictures of new signed books in my collection

I was sorting out some books I did put away, when I accidentally came across a french review copy of the abridged version of "The Stand"
It's cool, but I have mixed feelings about.
Because it's a small stamp that would be very easy to fake IMO. So I don't think that I will mention it widely.
But I am pretty confident it's not a fake one because the copy is in very good condition, the seller didnt know about it and I hardly paid anything about it

Every year, my friend Bernard Werber ask me if I want his proof copy of his new book.
And given I collect his work, I will be daft to refuse.
So today I got the proof and final book, with a doodle + signature
Plus he asked me which proofs I was missing, in case he found some. So he found one
So I got the proofs for almost all his books since the last 13 years.
But I think that you'll be more interested in King related stuff so.
Years ago I found this version of the "Mist" videogame for Apple 2
And today I recieved this version
And finally, french proof of "Later" that will be released in november in France

I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Supernice new stuff, big congrats Jeremy !!!

Looks great!
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
Some great books in there. Brilliant.
Lots I don’t recognise too.
Nobody likes a clown at midnight
What is the carved box next to the chalice, and what is the item to the right of the box?
What is that big MR. MERCEDES box?
Love the whole setup!
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
The carved box between the goblets?
It's an old box with a gargoyle on it from my wife. I like it for the decor
The item on the right of it? The item with "K7" on it?
It's a french audio version of "The girl who loved Tom Gordon" on tapes.
It took me years to find them! After years of searching I noticed a library website from a french island near Madagascar that said they had them. I emailed and mentionned I would be interested in the tapes, shall they were to dispose of them one day. As not many people have tape readers nowadays.
One year later they randomly contacted me back about it
I have since found another copy online, but after all this hardwork I don't really want to sell them yet.
Regarding the "Mr Mercedes" box
The last two bottom shelves are : movie press kits (hidden in the mass you can spot a "Castle Rock" season 1 well press kit with a lamp.
So, the big "Mr Mercedes" white box is the season 2 if I recall correctly. It's a press kit with headphones "to get inside your head".
(There is one for sale on ebay just now)
The yellow box underneath, it's the season 3 promo kit with a black notebook and book inside.
I am unfortunately missing the season 1 press kit :-(
Somewhere in my mess is also a copy of the holographic "Emmy Award consideration" DVD that includes a facsimile letter from King : there are currently a few on ebay
