Enough of my non-SK stuff, here is some more books!
Starting with my unsigned Skeleton Crew Limited Edition, which apparently was part of Anne Rice's personal collection at one time-
And 2 pictures to show provenance that this once belonged in Anne Rice's personal collection-

And a couple of gift editions-
TGWLTG, pop-up-
Awesome. That Skeleton Crew is really cool, every time I see one. Some of my all time favourite stories are in that collection.
Loving the Gift editions too. I still need an Insomnia, and am waiting on my Doctor Sleep.
Ok 'kill' maybe a bit extreme. I will however stare very, very jealously at your avatar from behind the safety of my computer screen. AND I may occasionally mutter incoherently about "mine goddamit! it should be mine!" - so don't think you're getting off lightly !Originally Posted by at_one
If it's DT IV I will have to kill you - nothing personal you understandWell, I don't have them all signed yet but I did get another one scratched off my list yesterday, with a little bonus. Will post pictures once in my hands.Lovin' the DT 1 signed by Whelan, Nick .. the rest of the artists signed volumes (given that you don't have them all yet) in the series should be a doddle now that the most difficult to procure is done and dusted
"I still say we should kill him"
No - we are not going to kill him, he's a nice man
"but he has one of our books"
No, he hasn't said he's got that one and any way it's NOT our's
"Not yet, if we killed him it would be"
no. it wouldn't. It didn't work last time did it?
"no... well nearly..."
do you want to end up back in the padded room?
"NO, NO, no.. not the room, not the music"
Good be quite then
"mine it WILL be mine.."
Quiet, they are starting to stare...
"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
LMAO. That got a good laugh out of me this morning!!!Ok 'kill' maybe a bit extreme. I will however stare very, very jealously at your avatar from behind the safety of my computer screen.

My Wizard & Glass S/L with custom replacement slipcase-
Fantastic books, and I really like the way you've presented them for the photos
We all float down here!
Now that is a collection!The house that my wife and I bought has a root cellar attached to the basement. It has a consistent temperature of 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit, perfect for storing beer and wine. Nonetheless, it is stocked at all times! Another collection, of course, although it is constantly rotating!
I love IPA's. What style(s) are your favorites?
Glad to see some New Glarus Unplugged in there.The house that my wife and I bought has a root cellar attached to the basement.

I love me some IPA's!!! I mainly have barleywines/ stouts/ sours/ old ales in the cellar as they can handle aging the best, but the fridge is stocked with the hoppy stuff. Although my tastes wander with the seasons, my most favorite beer is Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. I could drink that beer any day of the year!!!Now that is a collection!The house that my wife and I bought has a root cellar attached to the basement.

I would have it no other way. Their fruit beers are some of the best in the country and it is my main trade bait in the beer game.... I can pretty much score anything with New Glarus brews!!!
If you want some of THE best IPA's, and Double-IPA's; come to California. PM me and maybe we can exchange great beers (but no fluids-sorry I don't roll like that, and it is Flu-H1N1 season).I would have it no other way.

I agree, West Coast IPA's are the best! The wife and I were in SF for part of our honeymoon, later on we stayed further up the coast. One of my "must visit" places was Russian River Brewery. I had Pliny/ Blind Pig previously, but oh my god it was so delicious straight from the source! We have a few choice Midwest IPA/ IIPA being released soon, I will shoot you a PM and we can work something out!If you want some of THE best IPA's, and Double-IPA's; come to California.

Their Belgian ales in the large wax sealed bottles are a favorite of mine as well.I would have it no other way. Their fruit beers are some of the best in the country and it is my main trade bait in the beer game.... I can pretty much score anything with New Glarus brews!!!
A friend of mine opened a brewery in Kenosha a little over a year ago and just made his first sour. It's the first I've tried, but I liked it quite a bit.

Hey Bill, I wish I had the money to have picked all these up at once!!! These have all been with me for some time, just time consuming to set up and take pictures....well worth the time it takes, really making me appreciate what I own!!!One of mine as well!! Congrats on all the new acquisitions!!!Time to add some more books from my collection. Here's my Green Mile gift edition, one of my most favorite stories!!!
Very nice set-up on the Green Miles.
Nice to see Knowing Darkness out on display, rather than just tucked away like mine!
It's one of the first books people notice and pick up when they walk into the room. I think it is serving it's purpose perfectly! (that and I would chop fingers off if they grabbed anything else...)
Can't say I would blame you!! LOLIt's one of the first books people notice and pick up when they walk into the room. I think it is serving it's purpose perfectly! (that and I would chop fingers off if they grabbed anything else...)
