And now the extras



And the sig page

I am calling this
Call it Salem's Lot gift edition with artwork in limited edition tray case.

This info I got from Ralph
Only 600 gift editions printed. A couple things make it very rare.... Tomas only created 200 tray cases (which quickly became very hard to get). On top of that, Jerad of Centipede sent out an email letting everyone know he had roughly 30-50 print sets that were used in the signed limited. Those print sets sold out in minutes.

With that said, only 30-50 of these complete sets exist. Fairly rare indeed.
Case from the collector


The book itself

Now the extra pics. One is missing because I could not get it to load on the sight.

[MikeDuke]

I know it's not signed, but the stuff that come with package makes it special. I am glad to have this in my collection.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Extremely splendid indeed!

[Randall Flagg]

Very rare combination. Congratulations.


P.S. The prints are still highly sought after, as they were for the S/L edition, not the gift edition. Some people, including myself and David have had custom bound editions created using the extra page blocks from the S/L, and the art prints. Consider yourself fortunate, and don't be surprised with offers for the artwork, the case, or even the whole lot.

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Guys.
So Jerome, it's Ok if I keep the prints on there own, right? I doubt I will find a page block from the S\L and make my own version. Besides, I already have a S\L so I am cool with not doing it.
Someone on FB said that a set of prints by themselves went for $900. If it that rare, I would probably keep it as opposed to putting it up for sale. I am very happy to such a rare
and sought after set. I don't have many super rare items.
Thanks for the extra info as well.

[Stockerlone]

Think its only the second time i see one of this sets.
Superamazing Mike !!!

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Frank. I like it a lot.

[Randall Flagg]

The print set should fit inside the front cover of the traycase you have. I seem to recall small corner pieces in side the cover to clip them in.

[MikeDuke]

Yea, that's how I have it a well.

[Elliot HP Spencer]

That Salem's Lot gift edition and accompanying prints is very impressive. Weirdly, I think I like that a lot better than the S/L. To me the tray case makes a nicer presentation.

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Eliot. The tray case is huge an heavy. A solid one for sure. Thomas went all out on that on.

[Randall Flagg]

If you look at the mid shelf, left side you can see the gift edition of SL in the open traycase with the art on the left.
Note: I had to place a clear plastic block under the book to keep it from toppling out.

[MikeDuke]

Those are quite some shelves Jerome. Really great stuff. I continue to as well.

[MikeDuke]

Well, I got two new ones, an inscribed Christine which is dated two weeks before it was released. This one means a lot to me. But
I will explain later. I also got a UK Danse Marbre first edition of which there were only 1000 of them done. Maybe less. And a lot of those went to libraries, so that makes it even more rare.I am not a UK
collector, but something like that, I just had to get. I was not feeling good the last two days and was in the hospital.
So that's why I did not say anything. But I will get pics up ASAP. I have 2 more items from Ralph, then we will see what else I can get.

[St. Troy]

I love the Danse Macabre special/notable editions; it seems underappreciated (I'd love Suntup to produce one).

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

That's such a macabre idea that I channeled David Bowie with it and he said it makes him want to Dance!

[St. Troy]

[MikeDuke]

I am having problems posting pic. I will when I can. Thanks for the nice words.

[MikeDuke]

Here are my new gets. First a UK Danse Macabre Only 1,000 of these were made

[Randall Flagg]

Very rare book. Few were done in the USA, and as you mentioned, only 1K in the UK. Congratulations.

Thank you very much Jerome. I figured, even if it was not signed, it would still be a good one. I wonder what the value is on this one.
I have to say, I really appreciate you feedback.
