Damn you, Surly! I mean: congrats

(I'm also looking for 1st ed. paperbacks and I have a bunch of them, all in great condition, but Firestarter keeps eluding me...)

[jhanic]

i did.
black cover, full number line, american edition with "From the author of The Dead Zone" on the cover. not bad condition all things considered. picked it up for $3.99 CDN - what is that, like 3 cents in american dollars? i was pretty happy. it was the same place i found 'SALEM'S LOT the week before.

Congratulations! A GREAT find.

while i wait for a few bigger fish, i've turned my attentions to see if i can build a set of 1st edition paperbacks. the flash makes them look worse than they are, but in this case its been more about the hunt than the condition anyhow and i've been having a lot of fun looking.



*edit* well, i can't get the picture to show, but so far i found 'SALEM'S LOT, THE STAND, THE DEAD ZONE and FIRESTARTER.

You have the photo restricted/private. You can link the page but not the pic. I believe that could be remedied in your Flickr settings.

I woke upto this on the table this morning with an email About Robert McGinnis doing a remarque in my lettered Joyland asking me to specify if I want Robert to do a certain scene or to let him decide. My wife & son did a great job on Birthday this year. She said "Let me guess you want another book For your birthday"I told her that would be wonderful and I'd be happy with anyone but what a great job she did!

Congrats on that Gunslinger Citizen, very nice; ditto for the IT and this freaky King drawing.

My latest isn't a King, but is something I've wanted for awhile. I collect Band of Brothers-related stuff, mostly prints and some artifacts. I know the good folks at Valor Studios, who have been working with a lot of the surviving BoB vets for many years and who always coordinate some really nice items. This year, for the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, they've started off with a special edition signed Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose. They've been working this for a long time specifically for release this year, and as a result many of the vets have passed on since signing. I picked up a 1/50 signed by 10 vets (they also did a 100 signed by 8, 130 signed by 6, and a Bookplate Edition signed by 1 to 3). Of the ten signers, six have since passed away. If you've watched Band of Brothers, you'll probably recognize the names ... Buck Compton, Babe Hefron, Wild Bill Guarnere, Earl McClung, Forrest Guth, and Clancy Lyall. The survivors are Don Malarkey, Ed Tipper, Brad Freeman, and Rod Strohl.

[Lot guy]

That is a very nice piece of history you have there George, Congrats!

[ELazansky]

Thanks for showing that book, George. I just ordered one of the remaining 6 signature books. I had thought about buying a copy of this other edition - http://www.genesis-publications.com/...-company-book/, but the one from Valor Studios was a bit more in my price range.

[George at C-Springs]

That Genesis Deluxe Edition is pretty nice, but yeah, at 500 pounds ... way pricey. The book is nice, but its really the signatures that make it special. I passed on an original Ambrose BoB signed by 30+ awhile back, I think it went for around $1K. I believe I've got one print with 14 signatures, but still missing Dick Winters and Frank Perconte. All the Dick Winters-signed prints are at least $1K.

Congrats on getting your copy, you'll like it. It may have a ding, as they advertised the books have been making the rounds for awhile ... one of my signers passed away in 2009 . Adam and Karen Makos, who run Valor, are great to work with. Adam is an author as well. He wrote "A Higher Call" which was on,the best seller list last year.

[George at C-Springs]

If anyone else is interested, I just checked http://www.valorstudios.com and they're showing just 20 of the 6-signature editions remaining for sale; the 10 and 8 signature are sold out. They announced the book March 27th, so have sold 260/280 in nine days. Price on the 6-signature is $175. They also have some other books as well as prints and a few other items; good stuff if you're interested in WWII history.

To find one of them for small money was a nice surprise.

Awesome!! Lest we forget.... My Father in law was in the Pacific theater. Will not talk about it at all, but BoB is in his words a "Great Depiction".

Somewhere I have a first edition of BoB signed by Dick Winters, who used to be my neighbor. Hmmm...perhaps I should find it now that he's passed.

That's a pretty sweet set. How long before someone accidentally erases the hard drive?
