Book Collection : SystemCrashOverRide

[SystemCrashOverRide]

Your copy of The Gunslinger by Amereon House is something I have never seen before.
I do not understand when you say that you ‘like it more than you should’. I took an instant liking to it!!
Hope all is well Chase. Delightful to see something completely new to me.
Best wishes
Alec.

Hello again Alec!

Amereon Press appears to have purchased the 2003 Plume trade editions of The Gunslinger and rebound them in a "Special Edition" hardcover. I could find very little about Amereon House / Amereon Press, and it's unknown to me how many of these were produced.

I say that I enjoy it more than I should because it's simply a rebinding of an inexpensive edition. That said, I recalled seeing it somewhere online in years past and it was like...a splinter in my mind. I couldn't remember who produced it, and it drove me crazy for a short while. When I finally sussed out the name of the publisher, I felt very vindicated.

There was an "A HA! I knew there was someone other than Grant or Viking who made a hardcover! I knew it!!" moment.

Then I was on the hunt for it. I called many small book stores in the US who had it listed on their site, apparently because it's a rebound edition there are some wonky ISBN numbers for it and it's often falsely stated that it was published in 76. Despite being listed, none of these stores had copies available. I tried...15+ stores to no avail.

In the end I bought my copy off another member here, one of only two members who appears to own one. I messaged both members, one replied, and that's the copy you see there.

When I saw these pics yesterday that gunslinger looked green.

Strange, I only modified the image size, didn't make any other changes with colours or filters or any of that.

I think it was just fatigue. Like the blue or gold dress thing.

Updated the above to modify image sizing - if they're still too large please let me know and I will try to make them a more reasonable size.

That's something I often wonder. Does bbcode has a way to resize pictures?
(edit : seem to be a way : https://www.bbcode.org/examples/?id=10 )

There is a "RESIZE" code. It reduces each dimension of the original picture by a percentage. If you wanted to reduce the dimension by 50% you would use this code without the spaces.
[ resize="50"][ img]Image URL here[ /IMG][ /RESIZE]

Spoiler:

Here is a sample. The first image is full size. The second is 75%. The third 50%. The forth 25%.






The site automatically reduced the original picture. That is why the ratio to the others doesn't appear to be correct.

Couple additions. Was trying to see if they fit in my new inexpensive photography lightbox. They do (by a hair), but clearly I need a larger one.



And

Congratulations, two GREAT additions!!!!

Congrats !!!

Another AGE for the DT collection, quite pleased with this edition and the slip case. Now I just need to find SoS, Little Sisters, etc.

[Brian861]

I like that edition as well.

[SystemCrashOverRide]

Now here's something you probably haven't seen...

Well Chase, if it’s not The Gunslinger, then comes The Plant.
No clues on the dust jacket or the book.
Wonderful, however any clues?
Best wishes
Alec.

Love seeing your comments Alec!

I may never have the funds that some members do for the most prestigious, rare, or collectible books - so I'm carving out my own niche of weird, wacky, and unusual instead, haha.

This is not an ultra-rare or highly sought-after edition. It's a custom print job that I had done. It's almost a 100% clone of another custom print that another collector put together. But I had the text on the spine done in a different colour. I suppose you could say it's a 1 of 1 (or 1 of 2).

Technically, it may be an illegal reproduction. But it was not mass-produced, it is not for resale, and I'll never make false claims about its origins.

I have the files I used to have it printed, but as I did not assemble them myself, I wouldn't feel right about sharing them.

Pretty freaking cool, my man!!!!

[jon10g]

Very neat!

Pretty freaking cool, my man!!!!

Thank you! I certainly think it's a great way to read and enjoy the story, and to have a copy for the shelf.

Very neat!

Thanks!

The dust jacket picture is a very good representation of the story.

[fernandito]

I legit had no idea that novel even existed

[SystemCrashOverRide]

Some fun delivered in the mail today:







No luck getting #1 this time, oh so close to 217.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

So that's what the LATER signature page looks like!

[Brian861]

Congrats! A guy over on the CD forums ended up with #1.

BIG CONGRATS !!!

[SystemCrashOverRide]

The other hardcover edition (unsigned) of Later showed up today. Now I can display both dust jacket variations side by side on the shelf, which is nice.

A few other things should be arriving today or tomorrow that I'm very excited for. Hopefully I'll have more to share very soon!
