Your New Pride and Joy!

[Jimimck]

Thanks guys.
The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Nice Chadbourne art! Very cool original piece!

[TwistedNadine]

Haven't posted pics in awhile but had to show my latest P&J's (2)
S/L "It" , special thanks to CD for #79
S/L S&S "11/22/63" , special thanks to.... nobody (what a pain in the ass), but I did get one.
I'll post signature pages later in my collection thread, still waiting for 2 more special items to arrive. (figured I'd snap more pics when they're all here)

Excellent, Cook Very impressive display. I like Moth being the center like that

So this is not a NEW pride and joy.....I've actually had it since 1977....but I have not seen it in years and thought it was lost. I found it today while going through a box of keepsakes.

When I was six years old, my grandmother saw an article in a Chicago newspaper that Warner Bros. was looking for a boy with a midwest accent for a new movie they were making called The Shining. So, she sent my picture in, and I received a letter for a casting interview.

According to the below article, I was one of 300 that were called in.



Here is the letter from Warner Bros.:

[TwistedNadine]

Did you go in for the audition?

[tippy4]

I did...but don't recall much about it. Just going into the city (we lived in the suburbs), and meeting some man who asked me some questions.

Did he ask you to say REDRUM and talk to your index finger?

Verry cool story, tippy. Thanks for sharing!

[Jimimck]

That is so cool! Awesome connection to the story!

[jhanic]

That's really great, tippy! A wonderful story!

Now this isn't a gold mine of books, but for me this is probably the biggest haul of King book that I have received in a month period in about 4 years. The last 4 years I've been selling, not buying. So it feels good to get new books and some old books that I sold a few years ago that I now have back in my collection.

Just posted this in my collection thread, but gotta spread the joy!

I just received my "IT" gift edition back from the very talented artist Erin Wells. I have to say that after doing a solid for a buddy here on the site, they returned the favor and hooked me up with this remarque from Erin. I can't thank this person enough, as the drawing is awesome. So to "you know who" and Erin, THANKS.

"IT" 25th Anniversary Gift Edition

Drawing Close-Up



P.S. It's very light but there is a creepy face in the balloon and in "behind" the balloon is what appears to be the stand pipe. (I'm excited can't you tell?)

[Ricky]

That remarque is terrifying.

Congrats, Tim!

Great story tippy

Wow--LOVE IT!!

[Randall Flagg]

Impressive turnaround time on the IT remarque, and a great image to boot!

I will agree about the turnaround time. Erin also kept me well up to date during the whole process which earns some extra stars in my book.

[Brian James Freeman]

GREAT... that's JUST what I wanted to see before heading out to walk the dogs in the dark! Well, I'll see you guys later... assuming I make it back!

Brian

[Jimimck]

That just makes an already awesome production so much better!
So cool - well done.

[Ricky]

And Tim, you should totally think about making copies and hanging them in your kids' rooms.

LOL! I actually think they would like that. They both proudly wear their bright yellow "I'm loving IT" t-shirt fury shirts all the time.

P.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about I will try and snap a pic of them in their shirts this weekend.

[Shannon]

Mr. Ben Staad, that is one great remarque. Ms. Wells does yet another fantastical job. I heart her.

[Garrell]

My new P&J is something in my heart that is equal or better than any book I can ever own...
Alabama Crimson Tides #14.... National Championship...watching it with my father A priceless memory!!!!!!!!!!!
No photos (and there are some). None needed, my heart soars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
