BLOCKADE BILLY ARC:

[Jimimck]

Nice.
Thats one ARC I'd like to complete my set (one of only a small handful of S/L's I have to even consider completing a full set...)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I was very happy to get that one. The white cover proof has still eluded me, but there are only 16 of them so it's hard to find, and also expensive. Even if I had that, my set would not be complete because of the two versions of the baseball card.

[Jimimck]

Oh yeah forgot about the baseball card. Bugger.

Picked up a couple of 11/22/63's today. Will drop you a note when they are shipped off with total cost.

Two more THE GREEN MILE proofs. 3 down and 3 to go:

CELL Hodder promotional booklet (2 photos, same booklet), and the last (for the moment) of my purchaces from Hannes:

Got my UK THE PASSAGE ARC today. Very happy with it, about 98% brand new shape. I now have 12 different states of THE PASSAGE, with at least two more coming. I predict they will be worth 100,000 Star Trek Federation credits 1000 years from now and be in the personal collection of a Star Fleet Admiral named Koik or something like that:

[Shannon]

14+ different states of a book? Ridiculous, lol.

[Bad Penny]

Nah Shannon, sounds like entirely normal and rational collecting behaviour to me

[Dan]

Nice! That is the other ARC I need.

[Brice]

14+ different states of a book? Ridiculous, lol.

I propose we make each copy of In Mint Condition a separate state; then ur2ndbiggestfan might buy them all.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I am now saving up for IN MINT CONDITION.

11-22-63 now available in the USA in trade paperback:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I built and squeezed another slim bookshelf in between an existing shelf and the wall for my overflowing Jack Vance collection. And my copy of KNOWING DARKNESS finally has a place to rest. BEFORE and AFTER pics combined:

[Shannon]

That looks excellent. Good job!

[Bad Penny]

Nice job

[Jimimck]

Good thinking 99

I won the 3 Viking DT reprints I didn't have from E-bay. All 1sts, brand new:

[Jack Mort]

Gotta say Congrats! Beautiful bookcases and +1 for incredible completeness!

[Lurker]

Why am I always surprised that you don't already have everthing...

[Brice]

Very nice! Of course what really has me drooling is all those Ellison paperbacks. I'm surprised you don't have them shrinkwrapped.

[Cook]

Very nice reprints, I really like the covers.
OK, I gotta ask because your collection is so large.
How many actual SK books do you own?

[Brice]

More than SK.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

670

[Jimimck]

Holy shit. For real?
