Your New Pride and Joy!

Thanks for the comments on Night Shift.
Kingfan24 it is, after this arrived a friend from back home has offered me to good of a deal on a US & UK Night Shift he's only selling as a set though, so I've been wrestling with selling this & paying the extra $230.00 for the two. Although S/L's are my main focus of collecting & this would fund a book or couple Anthologies. At the same time this is my second favorite King Title. Decisions decisions. I'll be fine with it not selling as I'm leaning towards keeping it since I'm not sure of exact condition the other is in? We'll see I guess

I already posted a bad pic of some of these books but after receiving my latest addition I proudly present... another bad pic... of the unholy UK alliance (note that most of the apparent defects are a combination of bad lighting and Brodart covers):



Carrie is not in great shape but I am not complaining! The Shining, The Stand and Danse Macabre are very nice. 'Salem's Lot, Night Shift and The Dead Zone are almost perfect.

With the addition of Danse Macabre I basically completed my UK collection. I used to own a complete set of UK trade 1sts but I'm now perfectly happy with just the Big Five (plus Two) and an assorted bunch of more recent UK editions that have great cover art (IMO). The only thing still missing is a nice copy of The Breathing Method.

Nice set, Michaël.

That's why I don't like Brodart covers But a nice set it is!

[biomieg]

Oh, but in the right light covered books look fabulous (in my opinion)!

That's a sweet set, Michaël! Congrats. I started collecting UK editions in earnest this past year or so, but I doubt I will ever get around to those! I don't even have US firsts of the Big Five except for Carrie yet.

Congrats Michael!

Back from a seminar about writing by Bernard Werber, a french author that i appreciate and collect. He writes stories who develops themes such as science, philosophy, mythology, spirituality, environment, future... and more, always developped from numerous points of views.
His first trilogy about Ants was both from their point of view as well as from humans (the ants looking up, and us looking down to ants), other books were about humans & death, angels (humans looking at angels, angels looking at humans), humans and gods, aliens and humans, humans and Gaia...



During his seminar he mentionned King several times, for instance THE STAND (eg : the Deus Ex Machina ending), and complimented the way some of his stories are writen. eg : Rita Haywort... and Thinner (which he descrited as perfectly narrated).

Before going to the event, I decided to go through my books and notice which of his books are not signed : I plan on having at least 1 copy of each of his books signed. Often it's the proof that I got signed, but not always.
>>> Therefore I got 2 books signed at this event :




But I mostly went there because, me and a couple of friends are working on a project related to writing. Therefore the audience of the event was the perfect target for our project, and therefore I went there to give leaflefts.

I currently do not write stories, but I had an epiphanie while coming back : all of sudden I had an entire story developping in my mind. Something quite "different". The subject may sound boring at first, and therefore it's even better : a challenge to make it thrive !

Very, very nice, Michaël. Congratulations!

The first isn't exactly a P & J but excited to have it early. I really enjoyed this book & hope he writes more crime novels.
Picked up the Dolan's proof from David,
Transgressions S/L, Very Best Of New Horror S/L & FDNS S/L from Barry,
The paperbacks 1-4 made me realize how small the King collecting world is. I won 2-4 months back but lost on #1, but it happens that Ari is the one who won it so to get to complete this set was a nice surprise. the one i lost went1 to Argentina but made its way to Colorado & that all four of the books are back together I thought was pretty cool.

Ha! No glass, but out of reach for at least the next few years!

Yeah, definitely don't want the kid to rip out the signature sheet and bring it to Show 'n Tell.

Went to bed last night with a high bid of $31 on a Gunslinger Audio S/L, assuming that sniping would push it up to or over my maximum.

Woke up this morning to find that there was no sniping and I won for $31. It will look nice upon my shelf:
