"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

King wrote a wonderful tribute to JDM in that one. I love the part where he talks about discovering JDM for the first time (1959, Murder in the Wind) and the influence it had on a young 12 year-old writer:New arrivals in today's mail:
Mystery Scene Reader tribute to John D. Macdonald signed/limited paperback with King non-fic contribution.
"[I was] knocked cockeyed by it... and both while reading it and afterward, I went around in a state of exhilaration, thinking 'So it can be done. It can be.'
"By 'it' I suppose I meant telling the truth about life even while you were writing for the popular market, so often regarded by those self-esteeming English profs as a market made up of closet sadists, lowbrow truck-drivers, and bored housewives. But even at twelve, with no more experience of life than a rural upbringing could afford, I knew the feel of the real when it touched me in that book. How could I, or anyone, not feel it? Murder in the Wind did not reach out and touch you; it grabbed you, jerked you into a dark alley, and assaulted you.
"MacDonald was writing about people I knew, about smells I had smelled, and I thought, about the way I would feel under certain circumstances. It was like seeing your first color movie after a lifetime of black-and-white."
My new pride and joy just arrived yesterday. I know it's small potatoes compared to some of the gems I see on here, but I've been patiently looking for a S/L He is Legend that's in my price range for quite some time. Being the Matheson fan that I am, I have found signed copies of I am Legend and A Stir of Echoes (and also the PB edition of He is Legend signed by Joe Hil, Joe Lansdale and F Paul Wilson), but now having the signed/750 hardcover just makes my collection that much closer to complete. To round out the epic mail day, I also received my S/L editions of Bill Pronzini's Kinsmen and Femme from forum member Tommy.
One of my personal top 5, and finally in a fantastic condition!
<3 it !
Congratulations, Sebastian. That's one gorgeous copy!

I had a proof DJ with my Bachman Books proof if I remember correctly.
Thanks Jim. And yes, Alan there was a proof DJ with this proof but unfortunately the copy I got didn't have it.
Wow, Paul, that proof must be pretty rare! Congratulations on one in that looks to be real nice condition!

Thanks John, appreciate it. I hardly ever see one for sale. There's one on Abe right now, but I didn't get it because of the price then this showed up at a more affordable price. It's in good shape. Might be some slight fading to the spine, but otherwise binding tight and pages are clean.
Congratulations, Paul. That's a scarce one for sure!
John
