Finally!

What an incredible promo item this ledger is! THanks to David!!!

And another item I got, but this one is going to be a nice present to a friend of mine:

Had this for a while-eat your heart out Shannon:

Excellent RF! That is really cool and must have been a real kick for Owen.

**Patrick** · 08-09-2011 09:59 PM

Cool stuff, guys!

I'd buy an inscribed, dated, signed proof!

Love the Sneak Peek my friend, the case looks to be in real perfect condition also. Great stuff ...

And man oh man, that ledger is great. I've seen one or two of them available in my time collecting, but I've never seen the inside. That is some great stuff. I think that just might be my new TMSG!

TDCPL!

TDCPL is a very nice item. I once came close to selling my copy but I'm glad I didn't. Its page count is quite underwhelming though, it's a fairly large but very thin item.

What is that ledger exactly?

**jhanic** · 08-10-2011 05:11 AM

It's a promotional item issued for Dreamcatcher. It contains a few pages of King's holographic writing (including cross-outs, etc.) of that novel.

Wow, never even knew about that. Would love to get a closer look.

**DanishCollector** · 08-10-2011 06:01 AM

I don't think Owen nor Stephen wrote the description for the toy figure. Likely written by the company.

It's too big to fit into my scanner.

iowabob has a copy of it with scans of front and back here

It is a GI Joe action figure that was named after (and looks like), Stephen King's son Owen.

**Cutter** · 08-10-2011 06:38 PM

Congrats Ari! The Ledger is a simple item, but a unique one. I've always thought it was a pretty cool item. I'm glad they did it.

That GI Joe figure is weird. I had no idea. lol pretty cool, though.

**Jimimck** · 08-10-2011 08:03 PM

I'm posting these in the P&J thread as I am quite proud of my efforts today.
A work mate is away in Europe on leave, so after a quick visit to the supermarket, one 90m roll of foil, and a few hours of pissing around at work and here are the results:

The fan...very nice touch

Maybe a nice hat would be well received???

**Ricky** · 08-11-2011 07:52 AM

That's great.

**Randall Flagg** · 08-11-2011 10:50 AM

Received this today. I was surprised at how small it is. Gorgeous, but petite.

**Robert Fulman** · 08-11-2011 11:11 AM

Oy, mcVey! That is small...

Anywho, I got my "Sins of the Fathers" S/L today (Thanks, Shannon!). I was surprised that King signed in purple.

Also, because people showed even a bit of interest in my little book, I decided to re-design the cover so it looks like I spent more than 5 minutes on it in MS Paint (which is exactly what I did the first time around):

**Robert Fulman** · 08-14-2011 04:50 AM

Sorry to monopolize this thread... For our 12th Anniversary, my wife got me a few books:

After the Dark Tower, Lawrence Block's Burglar series is my favorite, so I'm excited to have some (signed) firsts. "Scoreless Thai" is a S/L from another Block series. "Gummitch and Friends" contains a tribute to Fritz Leiber by Stephen King. "Sins of the Fathers" (actually bought this from ShannonsMovies; Thanks again, Shannon!) is signed by both Lawrence Block and Stephen King (as I said above, King signed in purple):

King's introduction to "Sins of the Fathers" was written in 1992 and was called "No Cats"; it is a tribute to how great it is to read about a private eye who doesn't have a cat. King's tribute to Leiber is also from 1992 and although it doesn't mention cats, it is contained in a volume comprising Leiber's greatest cat stories. Struck me as a funny contrast.

When i bought several signed limited books this year from an other collector, i become this book as present.

One more for the Road - Ray Bradbury - signed
William Morrow First Edition
