Very nice, Mike! How did you find out which books were published by Grant over the years? Do you have a complete list of their portfolio or are you 'discovering' new titles as you go?

Trying to decide if I want to take the unused DJ out of the tube and put it on the book. I think I probably will, but haven't decided for sure yet:
Well, there's a Grant book I do not have. I order new dust jackets from Grant fairly often, and I love putting new jackets on my books. However, I have screwed up a couple through over-zealous folding. No pressure though.
I recently read a book called "Over My Shoulder: Reflections on a Science Fiction Era" by Lloyd Arthur Eshbach (LINK). It is a history of specialty Sci-Fi and Fantasy book publishers between the 1940s and early 1980s. There is an entire chapter devoted to Donald M. Grant, which explains the various imprints he founded or co-founded (Grant-Hadley, Buffalo Books and GHE, Grandon, Donald M. Grant, Centaur Press, and Macabre House) and contains a bibliography through 1981 or so. Interestingly, the book ends around that same time, and therefore makes no reference to "the most important event in small press history" (or however The Gunslinger was advertised). It's undeniable that the Dark Tower was what introduced me to DMG, but I'm more interested now in the fact that I can study about 70 years of local history (I'm a Bostonian, but Rhode Island and New Hampshire are close enough to be "local") through the prism of something I am really interested in (books in general, scifi specifically).

I have Different Seasons and Danse Macabre in this series of hardback reissues. I bought them in 1991-1992. I don't think many were produced.

I, too, have Danse Macabre. This is the only one I have like this. I was told, like Jon just said, that it was a pretty low print run.
I love it to be honest...I, too, have Danse Macabre. This is the only one I have like this. I was told, like Jon just said, that it was a pretty low print run.

MacDonald and Futura are part of the same company. They produced a few King books as joint ventures. The Dead Zone, Firestarter and Danse Macabre spring to mind.Last week I got this item in from eBay, I have never seen this artwork before on a hardcover.

Thank you, Jon!

Here is the C/P...
My copy is in reasonable shape, I'd say VG+/NF DJ and the book is VG+. The only problem with the book is that it has been widely opened at about page 30 and has caused the binding to 'split'. It could probably be repaired but probably not worth it for the value of the book.
If any one wants this, PM me - I only keep 1st editions in my collection. (I can send more photos on request)
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
