Nice horsies!
I'd offer them an apple, but I want to keep my hand.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Thank you very much to Simon for posting these three images.
For those who have read the book I am sure your imagination configured your own vision of The Dark Riders. Then after the film your mental portrayal may have moved somewhat. To me these three pieces really struck a chord. I appreciate not everyone’s choice, so to those who it appears felt the same way as I did, many thanks for the affirmation.
Jay Johnstone has produced a wide variety of work, not all to my taste, however I am not going to criticise art that is beautifully constructed.
Fantastic, these painting surely met what was in my mind's eye for the Dark Riders!! Congratulations on a terrific addition to your collection!!
Thank you Matt and David.
It appears that the perception we have is very similar when our imagination kicks in during reading. The films as well certainly did not disappoint.
I believe we will hear a lot more about Jay Johnstone.

Thank you John.
Time for a catch up indeed.
Another fine set of Tolkien's famous trilogy added to Alec's collection recently. Not signed but a first edition set in quite amazing condition with no sign of the fading so often seen on these grey dust jackets. housed in custom slipcases.
"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
When I was just a baby,
They published those thar books,
But I didn't buy them,
Despite their grey good looks.
And now Alec he's blessed with 'em
Decoratin' his shelf,
While I'm stuck in an envious position,
Here all by myself.

Thank you Steve (love the poem), Garrell, Mike and Glen. Thank you as always to Simon for the posting.
This trilogy is the only one I have seen that has maintained its original colour of slight grey green. Without question they have been stored in the dark for this to happen. I purchased them just prior to December last year from one of the most famous book dealers in London.
They are all first editions, first state, with no flaws at all. If the tops of the spine on the dust jackets, or indeed any of the edges appear slightly wrinkled, it is due to the fact that they are mylar covered and also have a protective plastic sleeve on each one, which has distorted the images a little. One set of books that will not be leaving me.
Thank you for the support even though it is Tolkien and not King.
Congratulations Alec!! They look exceptional!!
They look wonderful Alec. Congratulations. For a book printed in 1954, they look pretty fresh, if that’s the right word.
Nobody likes a clown at midnight
Thank you Matt and David.
They are two of the reasons I purchased them.
Wow!
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Thank you Becca.
So impressed with your Vanessa Lemen originals. I have to say “Wow” as well to the smaller one of the two.
I really loved that painting.
