Book Collection:MikeDuke

[MikeDuke]

Thanks guys. I don't know what or when the next item will be. We shall see.

[MikeDuke]

And finally, some proofs that Traveling Jack gave me
Bag of Bones


and Hearts in Atlantis that came with some paper work


The paper work seems to be a letter from Stephen King and a letter from the publisher.

Any chance to please get a closeup of King's letter?
Cause I have pictures of what I wrote was a UK version of the letter but it seems shorter ?

Thanks !

This is the best I can do. I did it in two sections

[MikeDuke]

Second half of letter.

P.S I doubt that signature is from Kings on hand.

[TravelinJack]

Hey Mike. It’s a copy of the original. It was included when the ARCs went out.

[MikeDuke]

OK. That's still cool.
Thanks Jack

[MikeDuke]

Here is my other new passion. I am a big Salvador Dali fan and I have two lithographs.
I can show you one now and the other one which I just bought when I hang it up.
This is from his Tarot card collection. It's called The King of Cups


Hand signed by Dali and it's number 29 out of 250.
I will show the other one once it's hung up.

Thanks a lot Mike !

[MikeDuke]

Not a problem Herbert.

[MikeDuke]

I guess no one likes my Dali because it isn't King . That's OK because I really like it

I’m just seeing it now and I think it’s awesome! I’ve noticed though that non-King stuff or stuff that’s not rare doesn’t attract the masses here. I’ve only been here a few months so I could be totally wrong about that, but it makes sense considering it’s a King site.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Well, hello, Dali. It's so nice to see you on the wall again.

[MikeDuke]

I know. But I have seen people post other books by other authors and people seem to respond. But I guess art is different. If no one is REALLY interested, I will keep this a strictly King thread. Which I don't mind doing. No Biggie.

[Father Cody]

Personally, I enjoy seeing variety and I’m glad you posted it. It seems a lot of art gets posted on this site, and not always necessarily King related. FWIW, I say keep it coming.

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Adam. I have one more but I am hesitant to put it up. It's more in line with his surreal stuff, which is my favorite area of his, but I not sure how people would react. It's out there for sure. Some people may even find it offensive. If I knew how to do the spoiler tags where it hides it unless you click on it, I would do it that way. This would give people a choice not look at it or look at it.
EDIT: Found the spoiler tag. I might put it up then.

Didn't he do the soft timepieces painting? I think I had the original but I sold it at a garage sale.

Yes. He did two of them. The persistence of Memory and the Disintegration of the persistence of Memory. To bad you sold it. If it was the original, you could have
bought any King stuff you wanted.

[Lurker]

I like tarot related art. Didn't know Dali did some.
Saw Persistence of Memory when it was in Houston - was shocked it is so small in person. I don't see why posting a Dali would be a problem. I mean there is a whole porno thread allowed here so how much more offensive than that could it be?

[MikeDuke]

He did a whole set of Tarot cards. About 6 or 7 of them. Well, if there is a porno thread, I can post this for sure once it's hanging up.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I have tarot cards. Want to see a picture?

[MikeDuke]

You know, sure why not. I doubt I will be able to get much more king so what the hell.

I like Dali art. In fact, I have several signed prints myself.

Cool. Once I get it hung up, I post a pic of my second signed Lithograph. It's actually an Artist Proof. So that's pretty neat. It's number 8 of 75.

[MikeDuke]

Just pre ordered the Suntup press The Haunting of Hill House. I know it's not a King book but since it seems to have been such an influence on many authors, including King, I chose to to just to it. Plus it will help
diversify my collecting if this gives me rights to the next non-King book Paul might do.

[peripheral]

Love that Dali signed edition, that's cool. Is there much signed stuff out there?

And nice work with the Hill House - good decision.

[Father Cody]

Congrats! Sure it’s not technically King related but the way I see it, it has a place in any King collection. King’s on record saying it’s one of the “finest horror novels of the 20th century” which to me says it made a considerable influence on him and perhaps his writing style.
