Book Collection: Wizardsrainbow
While I have many pictures up in various areas of this site, I will try to focus here just on my Stephen King collection, of which the Dark Tower series is the cornerstone. Be patient with me as I slowly migrate photos over to this thread.
In any event, I hope you enjoy!
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Apologies, as I do these pictures one at a time.
My Dark Tower cabinet, but I can't fit them all in here.

Some of King's older works

Nice collection, David. I've never seen so many DT books together in one bookshelf. Very cool.
The book that seems sort of misplaced is the S/L of Straub's FLOATING DRAGON in the last picture. I've always loved that book and especially the Underwood-Miller limited edition. That dust jacket by Leo and Dianne Dillon is amazing. If that original artwork ever came up for sale I would give it serious consideration.
What is just to the right of FLOATING DRAGON? Is that the Putnam proof of FLOATING DRAGON?
Thanks Bob-Originally Posted by carlosdetweiller
Yes, it is the Putnam proof of Floating Dragon. Do you have it?

Yes. Peter Straub is one of my favorite authors and I have a pretty decent collection of his books.
I'm glad you got your collection out here Wiz, its wonderful!!

I guess I knew that alreadyYes. Peter Straub is one of my favorite authors and I have a pretty decent collection of his books.I really like Straub too, but Floating Dragon is the only S/L I own by him.

Thanks Matt, but I'm just getting started. What I am most excited to show is not my bookshelves (which cannot display all that I own...there are books behind books there and others kept elsewhere) but individual editions that are special to me. Hope y'all don't get bored, because eventually, I will have 50 or more pics to post.

Nice collection wizardsrainbow!
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
The more books, the better.Thanks Matt, but I'm just getting started.

Hell yeah! I never get bored seeing this stuff.

Excellent, wiz. I could sit and stare at your Dark Tower collection all day long. It's amazing!!! It's monumental--and that word's not even strong enough!
Keep posting. As a novice collector, I am hopefully seeing a small glimpse of my future.
Wiz, these are all the ones you have to take home, right?

John-
yes they are

Ouch!!

I know this info is somewhere else, but how many complete DT sets do you have?
Since it seem such a burden for you to have to move these, I'd be happy to store them on my bookshelves.John-
I'll even come pick them up for you.
Wait, why do you have to take them home?
Are you leaving your job?
And if y'all think the pics are impressive, you should see it in person!! I had to wear a drool bib!!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Thanks for posting these, Wiz!
You know by now that we all love seeing each other's collections, so please do post all your Kingcollectibles, and non-King too!
