Your New Pride and Joy!

[Brice]

Not, just the comics, but I think combined with that exquisite case that has gotta' be one of the coolest things in your collection, Bob...and we all know that's saying a hell of a lot. Just amazing! Congratulations! And since you mentioned when you bought it that you didn't think you'd regret it even though it wasn't the best time for it I'll point out if you hadn't you would have probably regretted it EVERY day afterwards. Even ignoring the rarity that is just super cool.

Thanks for the photos, Bob. This is truly one of the best SK (if not the best) pieces anyone could have in their collection. Congrats!

[carlosdetweiller]

Thanks, guys. It's really an exciting addition to the collection.

[Shannon]

Love it. Greatgreatgreat new addition.

[idlewarnings]

That is a great item, Bob. Thanks for sharing the photos with us.

[biomieg]

Yes, thank you. I love seeing it/them at their new home and the case looks splendid indeed. Well done!

[herbertwest]

Gorgeous !

If any of you are considering getting the King's Way Press edition of DRACULA consider the lettered edition which, I think, is still available on their website. I collect DRACULA in many, many editions and this is really a nice one.

Traycase.





The book is full black leather with gold gild page edges.





It looks like the limitation on this one was also reduced in number between the printing of the limitation sheets and the actual production.

KWP does a nice job with the books they produce. Is this your first book from them?

[biomieg]

I had never heard of them. They have a slick website (maybe a little too fancy).

[Shannon]

I like that edition very much, Merlin has the limited edition and it also looks great

Went to their website, I agree ... Nice. But maybe a little too nice. Have they done any other books other than the two shown?

[mistercrowley]

I've never bought anything from them myself but the pics everyone posts are impressive. I'm hoping they publish something other then reprints in the near future.

I agree with that. Then again I have an inherent distrust of Kings Way Press because of Full Moon Press.

I know nothing about them. Are they related in some way to Full Moon Press?

[mistercrowley]

Officially no but some things bother me about the situation. The owner of KWP is a good friend of FMP's owner and was very silent when questions were raised about whether Kings Way Press was in fact another incarnation of Full Moon Press. The signature sheets for the publication of Killers Diary included the name of the owner of Full Moon Press. The website for Kings Way Press was designed by the owner of Full Moon Press. Things like that. Makes me uncomfortable. Granted nothing solid but it still feels a bit hinky.

I have serious trust issues when it comes to the small press. Lot of shady characters

SCREEM Magazine #23. There are two cover variations. I opted for the Nicholson variant from THE SHINING. This magazine has a super article by Bev Vincent titled "Overlooking the Overlook" in which he details both Kubrick's version and King's miniseries version. Very nice. If you don't have one you should probably get one. They are on eBay or order, as I did, from the website screemag.com

I thoroughly enjoyed the Bev Vincent article. I recommend this issue as well as the preceding issue (#22), that featured a Vincent article on 'Salem's Lot.

What's the backstory of Full Moon Press? Was there a controversey with them?

[Rahfa]

Beacuse of my labtop breaking i have been wayyy behind on the latest buys but here are 2 of the most recent and a shot of my main King bookcase


From our very own Rahfa i collected a copy of his own book of his time in Iraq with American service and women. A really insightful read with some striking photographs, really glad i picked up a copy!

Ahem....I don't think Tom's recent pride-and-joy received enough attention.

Thanks for the info connecting King's Way with Full Moon. I didn't get burned with Full Moon but I had pre-ordered a couple of their books through Camelot. Camelot doesn't require payment up front so I was OK that time. You are right to be wary of small presses but even the seemingly legit ones with a good track record can go under. Jeff Conner of Scream/Press still has some of my money on pre-ordered books after he disappeared back in the late 80's. I think Peter Schneider of Hill House Press left many customers on the hook when he went underground a few years ago. I'm sure there are many, many more. You just never know.

[Shannon]

Wow, what is that sweet Can't Give This War Away book!? It looks amazing. If anyone can find me a reasonably priced edition, I would definitely buy one!
