    Insane. Love it.
    Thanks!! I'm ecstatic!!

    I need a Carrie firdt ed jacket for my flat signed one. I have one, but the "D" is missing in the spine of Double Day.
    But that looks like an awesome collection of Carrie stuff.

    Congratulations, Matt! This kind of "find" is getting harder and harder -- even with the aid of the internet. I know you're justifiably proud! Enjoy the entire acquisition and I'm hoping you have even more good fortune going forward!

    Best,

    Ok guys, I recently had to pack up my King collection while getting a new hardwood floor. As I set the collection back up again I am examining some amazing stuff. I want to share a photo of what I believe to be the best copy of RAGE I’ve ever seen. Enjoy!

    My first second post to the Your New Pride and Joy thread. First up is A Life in the Cinema Artist Presentation edition. I've been looking for a copy of this for awhile and one finally popped up. On a side note, the seller of this hard to find edition shipped it in a bubble envelope. Miraculously, it survived the journey.




    My second P&J, I was finally able to add a signed and inscribed Carrie to my collection. This was signed during King's Firestarter tour: LA stop.

    Those are great adds. My Carrie is just signed with no date, so you got a great one there.
