Your New Pride and Joy!

[frik]

I have a friend coming from Germany in a month and I'm going to ask her to bring me one! Which is the cheapest one of the 7 volumes?

Would it really be that easy to get a copy of one of these books?
I'd love a complete set, but are these still available?
If so, where?? eBay??

That is nice, Jerome. I'm about halfway through the book and am having a tough time. It's probably just me but I'm only reading a chapter at a time and then losing interest.

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice!

Sadly I didn't receive a review copy of this one.

[jhanic]

I finished it a few days ago (I got an ARC, then a signed but undated copy). I wasn't as impressed with Black Hills as I was with his Drood and The Terror. The constant use of the Lakota/Souix words slowed me down considerably.

Very cool, Jerome!

I like Dan Simmons and have read many of his books. He is very talented and challenges readers with his versatility. That said I tried both the book and audio and couldn't get more than 1/3 through before giving up.

Just got this and I'm pretty excited about it. Not sure if the spotting and fading problems only affected the unsigned editions but this DJ is mint:



Does anyone know if the sketch was similar for all of the collectors copy?

All the sketches I have seen have been similar/identical to yours.

The only difference that I have found out was the backing paper color of the sketch. Nice acquisition!.

Only 1-100 came with the print. For the most part, the original drawings are similar with subtle differences.

FSMDR is correct......the background sheet the original is placed on might be different. My copy is on a tan page.

A nice pickup....congrats.

surly-

quite a nice acquisition. Perhaps I missed it...about what did you pay for that copy?

[surly]

Ah, the sordid topic of coin.
I'm sure I over-paid but I really, really wanted one. The asking was $3,000 and we settled on $2,700.
My budget was $2,000 but they don't come up very often, so I just sucked it up and went for it.

Things have a way of balancing out though, because I found a lettered Regulators -- never opened out of the shipping box -- for $3,000 even. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

Did you open it? If so, what letter did you get?

Personally, I don't think you overpaid for the Cycle S/L.

[surly]

Of course! I'm not a 'keep it in the box/shrink wrap' kinda guy. It was letter Y. I forget who the check was made out to, but I'll look tonight when I'm home.

I hope I didn't over pay, but I try not to think about it too much -- it takes the 'joy' out of 'pride and joy'.

[jhanic]

Surly, I don't think you overpaid too badly, if at all, for the Cycle of the Werewolf, and you most definitely did NOT overpay for the Regulators. Good buys!

Congratulations, Surly! Nice acquisitions... I'm looking forward to pictures of your collection (if you wish to share, that is).

New in the Casa del Resident Chris:
Stand by Me Laserdisc
Bare Bones HC Limited Presentation Copy for only 20 Euro incl. Shipping to Germany!!!

[carlosdetweiller]

Of course! It was letter Y.

Thanks for checking. I'm looking for copy "C". I've seen a lot of these books change hands over the years but have not come across "C". I've got a matching set of Charnel House books all with letter "C". THE REGULATORS is not technically a Charnel House book but it was designed by Joe Stefko and I would like to get it to enhance the set. The search continues.

[Randall Flagg]

Of course! I'm not a 'keep it in the box/shrink wrap' kinda guy. It was letter Y. I forget who the check was made out to, but I'll look tonight when I'm home.

I going to guess that Y is:
to Wentworth Ben Franklin
for MotoKop for Claudia
$14.95

That sounds about right.
Wow, you're good Jerome.

I think Jhanic (John) was helpful to me in ascertaining who the Lettered checks were written to.
