Lettered Christine
A near fine +
Bachman set GOT IT
Black or red Roman Salem’s GOT RED!
Lettered Tailsman
Inscribed IT with king drawn balloon
Lettered Danse
Just after sunset signed bookplate GOT IT

I have lots of others secured and coming... but any of those be great to find!

Later - numbered (ordered)
Christine grants numbered
Eyes of the Dragon red signature numbered

This may be 2021 and 2022 goal. Atleast two of these in 2021.

My main growth of books has come from Suntup this year, which I am pleased with, but managed one of my goals.

Later Lettered came my way (sold my numbered) so extremely pleased with that.

Christine and Eyes now firmly in 2022, but depending on work being consistent, may target those sooner rather than later in Q1.

Other than the elusive books that I class as lottery winning purchases, lettered Full Throttle, and numbered Misery my King collection will be as complete as needed.

with the exception of Lyra releases, and future suntup must haves. I don’t see many purchases in 22.
