Your New Pride and Joy!

Wow... Let me be the first to say congrats

[Brian James Freeman]

There will always be more books to buy, but I've finally completed what I set out to do. That's some kind of accomplishment.

Congratulations!!

[zelig]

That's such a wonderful story. Congratulations! It took me about 25 years from start to finish to get them all so I kind of know how you feel but as you say, there certainly are more books to buy. Just when you thought you were done you realize there's still more to go after. Again, major congratulations to you!

[idlewarnings]

Thanks guys.

[jhanic]

Congratulations!

(Now it's time to start on the proofs.)

Sort of not King related, but last night, a french author (who was on stage with King in Paris last year), was asked to present a movie in theater. So his choice was THE SHINING, and the evening first had a book signing.
So, I had the opportunity to discuss a bit more with him, get books signed, and watch THE SHINING in theater again

He signed an anthology to which he contributed : "For Jeremy, because you know the importance of short stories... friendly."

"For Jeremy, the Gaia theory, to get scared with our "evolution".

"For Jeremy, some 'Curses' with real spiders inside! See you soon."

[TrueNorth]

Sweet!!
I know how you must be feeling....satisfied. When I finally got my last 1st I was asked by anyone that knew me. "So now what"?
Now I look for perfect copies to replace the ones that are less than perfect. The hunt is never over. I love it.

Unlike John proofs don't do a thing for me.

Thanks, John. I can't compete with you guys in the proof arena. I'll leave those to you.

I didn't know it was a competition.

Of course it's not a competition.

I went on a bit of a shopping spree the last couple of months. Snagged the Carrie about six weeks ago, thinking it would still be a long time until I finally landed a Salem's Lot and Night Shift. Last week the Salem's Lot showed up on eBay and I was the only bidder. The seller also had the Night Shift for sale which we came to an agreement on offline. Suddenly, I have a complete collection of first editions.

I was in 9th grade when I became aware of first editions and limited editions while trying to track down the elusive The Dark Tower book mentioned in Pet Sematary. I paid $125 for a first edition of The Gunslinger from a guy who advertised it for sale in the classifieds in Castle Rock. It took me until I was 43 to complete the collection. It's bittersweet in a way. The hunt is over. There will always be more books to buy, but I've finally completed what I set out to do. That's some kind of accomplishment.

Anyway, I'm thrilled with the new P&Js. The books are in great shape. The dust jackets are a bit rough around the edges but more than adequate for my needs. Couldn't be happier. Now I just need some more shelf space.

Nice story !

Congratulations all!

[Stockerlone]

Nothing from St.Nicolaus.... this comes from the amazing Darek Kocurek...

I had asked the Darek Kocurek for a little drawing in his Rose Madder, would have been very happy about a little rose-remarque....but i get this mindblowing Minotaur drawing.

A couple of items came in the mail today...





The music CD is nicely done and features tracks from Carrie, Pet Sematary, Dolores Claiborne, and some other rarities. Pretty awesome stuff.

[webstar1000]

Nice stuff guys~!

[Drake69]

And now the mail is catching up to my purchases... this just came in today.....





Still waiting for my other Rocky Wood book to get here, but it shouldn't be long.

[jhanic]

My latest:



And one of the pictures:



Although this is one of the unbound proofs from Cemetery Dance, it doesn't have the "1st Proof" or "2nd Proof" printed on it. There was/is another of these on eBay that also didn't have the printing.

Just one more of the CD unbound proofs to go now--Doctor Sleep!

This is my new Pride and Joy because it is so amazingly helpful and contains so much information which is easily accessible. The only thing I thought unique was the post it note style limitations page signed by the authors. The book, coupled with the forum and its members, are great resources for educating myself about SK.

Congratulations on the recent acquisitions!
