Book Collection:MikeDuke

[MikeDuke]

I think mine is pretty good Steve. I mean, have I seen perfect, yes I have. But mine only has very slight rubbing and just a few spots. It works for me.
And if I had a time machine, yea, there are a lot of things I would do. But like I said, considering what I have seen on eBay for sale, and the
condition that those are in, I have a nice one.

[MikeDuke]

OK. Got this from Ralph.
I know people (including me have seen better), but not by much and definitly not for the price I paid for it. Like I said, I am very happy to have
this in my collection, but I am not going to state a condition. Only, again, to say that I am very happy with it. So here it is, the Hard Back of The Bachman Books.

[MikeDuke]

These two show where most of the "issues" are.



But, again, I have see copies listed for and sold for much worse than mine, so I am very happy. I was told that these were hard
to get in really great condition. But again, I am happy.

As long as you weren't in a rage because you had to take the long walk around roadwork avoiding the running man while listening to Bach, man, on your headphones, you should be happy.

Nope. I did not have to any of that, so I am happy .

That's it. I do really like this one.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I like that THE COLLECTOR too.
I look forward to reading it.

[Stockerlone]

WOW !!!
The Collector is supernice, big congrats Mike !!

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Frank. It is nice once you see it in person.

[MikeDuke]

Got the "Have you moved" for A Scanner Darkly numbered. Can't wait.

[MikeDuke]

A little late for A scanner Darkly, but here are some pic

[MikeDuke]

Some more




And the sig page


I also really like the cases that come apart like this one.

[MikeDuke]

Plus, I got another S\L King from Ralph M. Hopefully it will be here in about a week or two.
It's time I got back to good firsts and signed King books.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Another nice one.
I've read it, but it was so long ago I remember nothing about it, looking forward to reading the Suntup edition.

[MikeDuke]

Thanks Steve. Yea, I like the look and art in this one very much.
Thanks for visiting.

[MikeDuke]

I think the Suntup book is on it's way next week, and the King S\L is also on it's way for next week, with another King S\L
waiting in the wings.

[MikeDuke]

I got Black Water. I think it's a fantastic production. And it's massive. I can't wait until that 1,300 page book that Paul mentioned comes out.... And, today, I just got what I was buying from Ralph. A black numbered EOTD. I can't wait to see this in person. Pics, probably this weekend.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I agree about BLACK WATER.

[Ben Eads]

A little late for A scanner Darkly, but here are some pic

Holy cow! And it's one of my favorites from Dick.

[MikeDuke]

Yea, it, it's a really nice one Ben.

But I was not prepared for EOTD. Boy is it a big book. Probably almost as tall as the Salems' S\L. And pretty hefty for a book that is only about 300 pages.
I like it a lot.

I like it a lot.

I'm happy to see his books get that treatment. =)

Wow! That's a big book!

[MikeDuke]

Pics, hopefully tomorrow. I think they used very thick paper for it. But I really wasn't ready for the overall size.
When I take my pics, for those who don't have it, or have never seen it, I will compare the first ed to
the S\L.
And thanks again for stopping by Ben. I like having someone else post besides me .

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

You are the host,
In your thread I'll post,
'cause you're the most,
And now I'll coast,
and raise a toast,
onnoconna I ran out of words that rhyme with ghost!

Spoiler:

I have an EOTD, but I forget what color the signature is and I have forgotten what the significance of the different color inks is
