I was the only bidder.

Here is my Clive Barker drawing, definately not a new item I pre-ordered this in 1989 or 1990, published by the now gone comic book company Eclipse. Clive Barker Illustrator. I really enjoy his art.

MrRabbit: and you just started your proof collec? gosh!

I agree that is a great print

**NeedfulKings** · 06-28-2008 08:56 PM

Thanks everyone! We're admiring it daily. It's my first official DT art. I somehow think there will be more....

Just received two copies for free of McSweeney's 27

Lovely presentation!

Nice print NK!

I just won this UK 1st edition Salem's Lot for $150 which I think is a pretty fine price. Book and jacket are in decent condition. I'm not a big collector of UK first editions, but I do have the signed Carrie and given that I have a signed US 1st Salem's Lot as well as the S/L and Lettered editions, I felt I should own a 1st UK to complete the set. I am very please with my purchase.

A very nice acquisition, David! That's only a little more than I paid for my ex-lib copy a few years ago.

**Cutter** · 07-01-2008 10:46 AM

I think it's a great price Wiz, congrats!

**carlosdetweiller** · 07-01-2008 11:01 AM

I was watching that one and am glad to see it go to one of the good guys on this site. Good going, David.

**wizardsrainbow** · 07-01-2008 11:03 AM

Thanks everyone. Turns out I was the only bidder, but I looked closely at the pictures and the guy does have 100% feedback. He has been quite friendly via e-mail and is a King fan. I invited him to join us here.

**Mr. Rabbit Trick** · 07-01-2008 11:24 AM

Nice purchase Wiz.

**carlosdetweiller** · 07-01-2008 02:12 PM

Not sure under which heading to post this. It is not really a "Pride and Joy" but interesting nonetheless.

I got this NEW IDEA magazine (2/16/85) on eBay from an Australian seller. The listing said it had writing by King in it. I figured it was probably an excerpt from DANSE MACABRE or something else that had been previously published. I queried the seller and he said it looked to be original writing and there was nothing to indicate it had previously been published. So I took a chance and bought it.

I couldn't find a listing for it in either the Collings or the Brooks bibliography. So I sent a scan to Rocky Wood. It appears to be a previously uncatalogued nonfiction piece by King. Surprising since, according to Rocky, NEW IDEA is a pretty mainstream magazine in Australia. Anyway, it is nice to "discover" new writing by King and add to the bibliographers list.

Photos of the cover and King writing. I left the article pretty big so maybe those interested can read it. Nothing new in the article but still interesting reading.

**Randall Flagg** · 07-01-2008 02:18 PM

Leave it to Bob to 'discover' something the experts weren't aware of.
Great find!

**herbertwest** · 07-01-2008 02:19 PM

Well done !

**EXPLORER** · 07-01-2008 02:19 PM

very cool.... Nice find Bob thanks for sharing
also envious of Dave's UK Salems Lot I don't belive have one of those

**jhanic** · 07-01-2008 02:24 PM

Cobngratulations, Bob! You've trumped us all again!
