I'm going to be fiscally smart this time and not get a signed trade HC to tide me over until my order S/L four-volume set from CD arrives. I don't have multi-volume completist tendencies, I don't have spare shelf space, and I have plenty of other books to read in my TBR pile in the meantime.
So all it requires is a little bit of restraint and patience on my part.
Probably easier said than done.

I don't collect Hill's S/Ls but I think I made a mistake when I didn't order one. I have the B&N signed trade and UK Goldsboro signed editions on order and those will do just fine.
Joe’s UK tour just started and it’s only a couple more days until the reading event in Liverpool. It’d be great to meet fellow boardies. I’ve already been in touch with jon10g, anyone else attending the Liverpool event?

Fun day at the Birmingham Joe Hill signing. Met up with Jon (JonP) and Tim (TDogz_AK47) more group photo's to follow.
Joe was really accommodating and signed plenty of books for us all. Look out for Tim's video!
"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
Shameless promotion here...
I’ve been working on this project for quite some time, proud to inform you that my website http://www.joehillbibliography.com is now live, just in time for the UK release of Strange Weather! Any additions, corrections, remarks etc. much appreciated!

Well, Marco, thanks for showing me more things to buy!
Very nice work, by the way!
Excellent work Marco!!! Thanks for putting it all in one place. And thanks for busting my little bubble thinking I was doing an okay job of collecting Joe’s stuff!

Very jealous, Simon! Sounds like it was an awesome time! Thanks again for all that you do!Fun day at the Birmingham Joe Hill signing. Met up with Jon (JonP) and Tim (TDogz_AK47) more group photo's to follow.

Very cool, Marco! Looking forward to looking at it a little bit closer in the coming days.
Always something else, isn't there, guys.....

Thank you all ! Yeah, even though Joe doesn't have as many books and stories to his name as his dad, there's plenty to collect out there
I still have many gaps to fill in my collection...

And now is a good time to get this started. I think it’s a great project.
I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Joe Hill signing event in Birmingham. Jon very kindly sold me his deluxe Lettered IDW edition of NOS4A2 / Wraith so that I could try to get a personalised inscription....
So did you?I had an absolutely fantastic time at the Joe Hill signing event in Birmingham. Jon very kindly sold me his deluxe Lettered IDW edition of NOS4A2 / Wraith so that I could try to get a personalised inscription....
Some photos of me with Joe Hill....
Some more....
Joe's reaction to the lettered edition was superb and he spent a considerable amount of time chatting with me!
However, it was Joe's reaction on seeing the folder containing the original remarque created by artist, Charles Paul Wilson III, which was truly spectacular!!!
Here's a link to the video of Joe signing my book and his reaction to seeing the art folder.... (Turn the sound up!)
A group photo of the Dark Tower crew: Simon (stroppygoblin), Tim (T-Dogz_AK47) and Jon (JonP) with Joe Hill....
Joe also very kindly signed the original remarque that was inside the art folder. From the 26 remarques produced, I believe this is the only one that has been personally signed by Joe Hill....
The absolute pièce de résistance though, is Joe Hill's personalised inscription, signature and doodle within the book itself....
Quoting directly from a passage within the book, the inscription reads: "What a blessed if painful thing, this business of being alive."
Fantastic stuff, Tim and the video is wonderful!
That is absolutely outstanding, Tim! Awesome video and great group pics of the crew. It's so awesome to see that Joe is so personable.
Love the inscription and that included the date and location of it.
Well deserved, my friend and good for you! And kudos to Jon for looking ya up with that lettered!
