I was 18 years old in 1982, and I visited an antiquarian book store on Newbury Street in Boston called Avenue Victor Hugo. What a great treasure trove of books. I was able to get a first edition hardcover copy of The Gunslinger for $149 - a few years later I won a lottery to purchase a Wastelands limited edition and I was on my way to collecting. Turns out that the attic space above the bookstore was used by a number of the artists who were producing work for Grant's version of The Talisman. Alas they succumbed to the big box book stores.
