Book Collection: TCCBodhi

[goheat]

Awesome stuff, and congrats on the signed MM in particular! Frankly, any signed book is awesome to me!

[webstar1000]

Nice stuff... and year that MM is a HOT item right now!!!

Nice pull Seth. Seems like your HPB are of better quality than mine. One of them near me hit rich with King every once in awhile but not very often.

[TCCBodhi]

Thanks. HPB is based in Dallas. I have no idea if perhaps the books tend to come back here for redistribution to the rest of the chain, but seeing what I got here at this REALLY SMALL one, I think I may visit some of the others in town, starting with the Flagship store, though that is likely to be a bust. They may have any of the signed ones that might be floating around the city though.

Yes, I'm VERY happy to have Revival and The Stand (though unsigned, that will give me something to work for) and the Talisman from my Uncle(in-law) from my deceased Aunt's(in-law) collection. I really miss that we were only able to have one real King conversation before she passed and that she never got to show the collection to me herself. Though largely unsigned, it was really quite beautiful to see.

Revival is of course very hot right now, and the search continues for a reputable HC copy, but even if I don't find one, I can still have a quite rare Full Trilogy (assuming that I pick up the 3rd easily enough) though not quite prime state. It takes enough of the pressure off that I won't be jumping at every over-inflated copy out there, but waiting for the right deal.

NOW my problem is, now that I'm reassembling a collections of 1sts, which I had largely gotten rid of in college, is that I need to redesign or figure out where to put a new bookcase/bookshelf in my already near-Hoarder level apartment! Even my Collectible Bookcase has now outgrown the Collectible editions that I have, leaving me to figure out a way to strengthen the top two shelves to safely hold book weight.

I think we all can sympathize with your problems with a growing collection.

The only one I have been to up there is the one in Hurst, I didn't like it too much.

Wonderful additions!!!

[TCCBodhi]

I updated my first post to show my current bookcases a bit better.

[Priest]

I love your stand

[TCCBodhi]

Thanks Priest. I'm working on it. I love The Stand as well, though I need to find a way to get it signed one of these days!

Here is today's additions from the Cemetery Dance Lettered Grab Bag. A very nice book!

It was fun and a good chance to take a quick branch out, but I don't think I'll be making a habit of it, at least until I have a little more complete collection.

[Stockerlone]

Very NICE !!!

[Theli]

I think you did well with the grab bag. That is a killer book. I have the s/l copy and love it.

Very nice, Seth!!!!

[TCCBodhi]

I rearranged the bookshelves tonight to give the collection a little room to grow and to put the plain 1st in better order. It was driving me nuts that they were not in any order at all.

I SHOULD have a MUCH better entry tomorrow if I manage to get to the post office to pick up the box!
