Ned noted that there was a little bleed through, and so he added a continuing motif of Shardik's robotic teeth on the ensuing page - I love how artists turn a negative into a positive. Ned was then generous enough to engage me again with the same book before returning it. I wanted the book to open and close with his work. After exchanging ideas again, he added a remarque or Jake and Oy with copies of the two books, Charlie the Choo Choo and Riddle-De-Dum! that will play a central role in the next book's opening. I think it's perfect. I have also included, thanks to Ned, the small series of practice pieces that Ned produced, just to see his conceptualizing. Happy Birthday Kris - Enjoy!

Love it!

A new S/L for my shelves. Talisman #910.

That's nice! Yours looks great.
The glued on picture is prone to marring. Make sure to not let it scrape.

Great advice. Thanks!

Same with the glued on images inside the slipcase.

Acetate covers or slip sheets my friend.

So are you saying that an acetate sheet should be laid on top of each book, covering the image? Is there any risk of runoff, or will the acetate prevent that from happening completely?

I would think the cover should be over the front of the slipcase too, if the S/L is lined up next to other books, right?

Some days turn awesome due to these arrivals!

Now I'm only missing part 3!

And the cherry of the cake is when you turn on the cellphone included in the press kit of Mr Mercedes:

Not sure what you mean by "runoff", but if you wrap the books in acetate (like the S/L of Cujo), or even slip a sheet between the two volumes, and another between Volume Two and the slipcase, you will reduce/eliminate abrasions.

I suppose you could also cut a sheet of acetate and crease it in four places so it wraps around the slipcase like a DJ, and one of the flaps you tuck inside of the case would protect the image on Volume Two.

What's a slip sheet, Rick? Are we talking interleaving glassine, or am I way off?

A signed Hearts in Suspension, along with ticket and program arrived yesterday! Thanks AKC!

**TCCBodhi** · 07-21-2017 08:43 AM

Alright, THIS one has been a LONG time coming for me. Anyone have the #92 Art Portfolio, perhaps?

I had a 2nd arrival yesterday that I'll post up once I get the pictures edited and uploaded.

**The Library Policeman** · 07-21-2017 09:24 AM

Very cool IT. And a must have. Congratulations!

Very nice items!!

**webstar1000** · 07-21-2017 10:25 AM

BOOM! Couple of big ones too!

**TCCBodhi** · 07-21-2017 11:26 AM

The 2nd that I got in yesterday was the amazing Deluxe Edition of The Shining with remarques by Don Maitz & Glenn Chadbourne. I didn't realize that I had ordered this 2 full YEARS ago! Great things are worth the wait though!

Full Album is here if you want to see all the various images I grab (mostly for insurance purposes).

Congrats with IT!!
