I would love to see what the inside of the books looks like. The case and cover of the book is great but that is what we all have come to expect from Centipede Press.

It is always great to see someone able to add this book to their collection. I personally don't think it will ever be topped as far as S/L's go. No one has ever come even close to making an S/L as good as this one. Congrats!!!Originally Posted by zelig
Been a little while since I posted anything here. Anyway, here's a new arrival. Just a couple of pics as I'm sure we've all seen this one many times before... we all know what it looks like right...... been looking to add this to the collection for some time now....
A couple of more "goodies" arrived today!!!!!
- 'Salem's Lot 1 of 30 (Thank you for the opportunity to acquire Jerome)
- IT Gift Edition Remarqued by Alex McVey and Erin Wells
I had been debating picking up one of these, but I finally caved when I saw one that no one was bidding on last week. AND I LOVE IT! It hasn't made it off my desk yet. I just keep shaking up the spiders. It is definitely one of my favorite promo items. (Please excuse the crappy picture though--hard to not get glare from lights, windows, etc.)
Yes!!! Now you are one of the "cool" people as well!!! LOL LOL LOLI had been debating picking up one of these, but I finally caved when I saw one that no one was bidding on last week. AND I LOVE IT!

In case I'm not the only one who didn't know, Gray Parrot is a man who works as a book binder. I was curious about what a "Gray Parrot" binding was; it was surprisingly difficult to get Google to help with such a generic search term.

Now here's my question: So far, TMSG has been quiet. But what am I suppose to be looking for? I'm almost afraid to ask!
Great Suff dnemec & I/O! Tim love the 'Salem's Lot, Congrats!

Every time I see someone getting a copy of the S/L THE STAND, I'm filled with an inordinate amount of jealousy that rages for days.Someday -- someday -- I hope to add a copy to my collection, but sometimes I wonder if I ever actually will as I've never paid four figures for a book, and I don't know that I ever would/could. That said, I have a beautiful Fine/Fine 1st/1st HC of it in the S.K. Collector traycase, and I try to tell myself to be content, that that's good enough, that I don't need the S/L...but the heart wants what it wants.
Awesome!
^^^^^Congrats, Zelig.Thanks!It is always great to see someone able to add this book to their collection. I personally don't think it will ever be topped as far as S/L's go.

I have avoided (so far) getting on the slippery slope that is S/L's but if I could only ever have one, this would be it.
"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
Two of these are new to my collection and the others are upgrades

Are they all 1st Ed's? Even the Night Shift? That would be amazing.
Yes they are 1st/1st

I feel your pain RC65. I started collecting around 1987 and I've only added the S/L Stand now! I kinda stopped collecting for a while and missed it at the time of its release. There were many times I would see someone add it to their collection and would feel what you're describing. I tell you, I wasn't planning on getting it when I did. It was a spur of the moment thing. I too never thought I would pay 4 figures for a book but once you do, it isn't too bad. Start saving my friend. You gotta do it.^^^^^Congrats, Zelig.Thanks!It is always great to see someone able to add this book to their collection. I personally don't think it will ever be topped as far as S/L's go.

Simon, yes it can be a slippery slope. What's even more slippery is if you get into collecting lettered editions. That's one I'm definitely staying away from for now.
Congrats Zelig, a S/L The Stand is a wonderful book to have. I too was not actively searching for a copy but had seen a few sell and had always wanted one and then things just fell into place and I bought one.I feel your pain RC65.

RC65- Like Zelig said, start saving. The good news is even with the popularity of this book there always seems to be a few for sale so your day will come,just be ready so you can pull the trigger when it does.

We spent a couple of weeks away from home. My wife volunteered to go to the post office to collect the mail. I told her that there may be a package or two. I received an icy stare when I got home that evening.
Can't wait to see what's arrived!We spent a couple of weeks away from home. My wife volunteered to go to the post office to collect the mail. I told her that there may be a package or two. I received an icy stare when I got home that evening.
The "icy stare" at my house is usually followed by some choice phrases
