I won these in an auction. Just under $60 shipped. All fine except a bumped corner on Cujo.
I didn't have a Pet Semetary. I upgraded my Talisman.

All US 1sts? I only ask as I know the Canadian Cujo often gets listed as a 1st/1st.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I recently received my first ever custom remarque. Don Maitz did a remarqueable job with my Desperation Gift Edition.
The first pics are the request I sent him, front and back. He did a quick thumbnail sketch on the front and then a full rough sketch on the back.
The next is a full sketch that Don did as a preliminary work prior to attempting the book. Suitable for framing. He does this with all his remarques.
Next is the remarque itself.
The COA
And all together now!

Thanks all. As TN said I met Don at the signing and he added to the remarque. I thought the sign should read "Organ Donor" which is the name of the piece. Don made it into a Donor card sign. Very cool!
(Thanks TN for the next pic)

Thanks Bruce!
Happy belated birthday to you too.
This thread needs a little love. Half of the links are broken and I haven't updated in almost a year.
I do have some very nice new and newish acquisitions that I'll try to get up here soon. Including a few birthday gifts I received from a member here who is always looking to decrease[sic] the value of other's collections.

This is a Secret Santa post.
If you haven't figured out what to get me yet...

I started collecting British HC 1sts and need most of them. The same goes for paperback 1sts

I've never listened to an audiotape. On Writing was recommended to me or The Gunslinger narrated by King.
*
I also collect John Updike, but I have most of the affordable books. I collect Joe Hill, Owen King, Clive Barker, HP Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury.
I like interesting artwork whether horror/King themed or not.
*
I'm a gardener, a cook and I like Rock & Roll.
*
These of course are just a few suggestions. I am sure I will be very happy with whatever I receive.

That was the unedited list!

Shit, I had all of those wrapped up and ready to go to you, but the last thing I want to do is usurp your Secret Santa. It just wouldn't be nice.
