Very nice, Siep and Matt!

That 'Salem's Lot's a beaut!!
My new and modest pride & joys (sorry for the bad pic):
With these two books - courtesy of Matt (mkb.redux) - I now have fourteen Simmons first editions in my collection. A couple of months ago I only had a few battered paperback reading copies so I'm very pleased! I think I have about seventeen books to go in order to complete a collection of firsts (including a couple of limiteds like 'Entropy's...').
Congratulations Michael. They look in really nice condition.
They are! I've been treated really well by members of this site. My entire Simmons collection came from Matt and Paul and the infamous RF Grab Bag from a while ago, and all books are in collectible condition.
Received 4 of the 10 slipcases I ordered from the UK today. Not as amazing as "Lot Guys" Salem's Lot, but this will help protect some of my VF/VF 1sts. Congrats to all the guys feeding their positive addictions .

Hallelujah Matt !!!

Thanks for all the comments!!!! Definitely the most I've spent on an unsigned book but never had the chance to get a copy like this before. This shining proof is not new but recent. It was a gift that I gave to my son recently for his Birthday. This was given to Owen by King So it was nice to follow the tradition of giving it to my son. It is signed about nine months before release. I truly wish that I could post the letter and papers that came with this. It is well documented and proven that this proof was in Kings hands and his copy or one of his copies.
Very, very cool, Matt!!!

Haven't posted this thread in a while... but had a few things come in the past week
interestingly, I while reading another thread on variant covers which made me go rummaging, that I realized I was missing a nice copy of Four Past Midnight 1st US ed.
had the one I read... but it wasn't Fine copy... which is how all my other US/UK firsts are... so I was feeling that they were incomplete again.
Luckily, I found this absolutely gorgeous copy on ebay for less than 10 bucks. still need to find the variant cover though.
some yummy proofs (actually had a Legend proof already... but this was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up)...
