"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
Very nice indeed, Simon. 8)
UK 1st of Night Shift. Happy with this even though it's ex-library. Such a hard book to find for anything less than crazy money. It's in pretty good shape too.

and lastly, a good copy of The 1st/1st UK Green Mile in hardback form - also not easy to get!

A couple of people have recently looked at my collection and asked the same question (which I honestly thought I'd mentioned when I first posted, but apparently not), so I thought I'd post the answer here. The remarque that Rachel did on my 'Constant Reader' print is not just abstract but actually reads "FOUND" in the High Speech. I'm not sure how many of you noticed this?
It also gives me an opportunity to thank Rachel again!

Posted in the P & J section, but adding some more photos here.
Thanks again to Tom (Tito_Villa) for being patient and waiting for me to save up for this beautiful 1st/1st copy of Night Shift. This represents a new level of expenditure for me and my collection!
Tom also very kindly sent me a bonus gift! Thanks Tom! (we miss you here, come back and post more often!)

Beautiful copy of Night Shift! So jealous!!!
Arrived the same day, and somewhat in the shadow of the wonderful Night Shift - but still very pleased with this for the price I paid.

For those that are interested, that leaves 1 US 1st/1st still to obtain ('salems Lot) and 3 UK 1sts (Carrie (yeah right), Christine and 'salems Lot as well)
I think I'm going to have to be patient on these....

And the complete set of UK 1sts gets ever closer! I have amazed myself with the books I have recently acquired. I firmly believed I would never own the first 5 due to their scarcity. Now I have a new one to add to the "impossibles" :UK 1st of Carrie!
As I said in the P & J thread, this is by no means a mint copy and like my UK Night Shift, it's Ex-Library, but I am astounded to get a copy in any condition. I also paid £102 for it which I think was pretty low.
