Who is Jim Bishop. Anyone of note, or just a random guy who owned the book first?Originally Posted by TwistedNadine
The lettered IT is gorgeous. Congrats AKC.
I had this custom made to house Long Walk inscribed to Jim Bishop and Rage inscribed to me. Some day I hope to have Roadwork and Running Man also signed - preferably inscribed to me tho that might have been a once in a lifetime thing.
Jim Bishop was involved in some of the earliest King publications (poetry and short fiction) in UMaine@Orono literary magazines.
Thanks for the info, Michaël. Very cool inscription Nadine!
Signed by King or Bachman :-)Ssigned french edition of THE RUNNING MAN. Signed in 1990 (and not at the recent signing in Paris).
CHERRY ON TOP : it's not only a french edition, but a first french edition.
HOW TO TOP THAT? it's a REVIEW COPY. cf the punched holes on the back, forming the letters : SP, for "Service Presse", so a review copy.
The other only review copy with those SP that i have is the very first french edition of CARRIE which i got signed in Paris.
Forgot to put the signature page. Signed by King.

This is my first remarque. It came as a bonus as I wasn't looking to get one with the remarque. I wish they would have had Bradbury sign this before he passed.

Picked up 2 UK S/L Under The Dome (1 arrived waiting on#2) & Black House,
Love the product Grant put out with Black House & Desperation
Not seeing your photos. Looks like the http is doubled in your tag.
The Long Walk is dedicated to Jim Bishop. He was one of King's teachers at the university.
The story is one of my favorites so to have the book inscribed to the same person it is dedicated to is pretty awesome. One of my top 5 Prized Collectibles
reality continues to ruin my life
I fixed the link, but the photo is small.Not seeing your photos. Looks like the http is doubled in your tag.
VERY nice haul, Dan!!! I especially love the Mathesons!
I just saved myself a couple hundred dollars.
In my quest to pick up Gift editions of those titles available in this form, I was going to pop for a Gift (1/600) of 'SALEM'S LOT (Centipede Press) to replace my Fine/Fine Doubleday 1st HC of 'SALEM'S LOT: THE ILLUSTRATED EDITION...there've been a few in the last couple of days on eBay. Did a bit more research on the volume (I was familiar with the S/L edition, but not so much the Gift ed.), and it turns out it apparently does not have the photo illustrations of the S/L and Doubleday ILLUSTRATED volumes. As well, the 13" trim size will not fit in my 11" max lawyer's bookcase shelves...I'd assumed incorrectly the Gift edition had a smaller trim than the S/L.
So I guess my Pride and Joy is, as it turns out, my Doubleday ILLUSTRATED HC 1st. Who knew.
