The "exclusive" edition is from Waterstones I am guessing?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Yes, I believe it is a Waterstones limited edition.

After about 50 years or so of collecting books, I am just about out of room.
As you can see in the photograph, the Suntup books have filled three tiers of the five shelf bookshelf meant for them, but it has been taken over by the latest Stephen King offerings, and with the Suntup books I still have coming, the Batmobile has to go (somewhere), and there is still nowhere near enough room. And Homer is very upset.
Therefore, I am asking for contributions for an addition on to my house. Nothing less than ten grand each donation need be sent, please call 555-555-5555 for further information! Act now, this offer expires soon!

Thanks Bryan, so far you're the only one who's called, but your offer of $9,990 was unacceptable, sorry.

I saw this ILLUSTRATED COLORADO KID with blank pages on E-Bay, which I won.
I think it's some kind of mock-up, since the back cover is missing some important information:

Seems like you have a library the size of the Smithsonian. No extra space needed.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I do need extra space, unfortunately my house addition lottery fell through.

Anyway, here's my copy of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, a mighty impressive book:

I found a place for the lamb and moth.
I hope they're happy.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I've just been informed that we will need no jurors today. You are all dismissed."

Yay! All 100 or so of us received our paperwork and left, what a waste of time! I will now receive a check for some 20 odd dollars for my two hours of service, along with all the others. At least we'll get some of our tax dollars back and parking was free!

Supernice, BIG CONGRATS Steve !!!

Vielen Dank, Frank.

[Garrell]

Congrats, 1984 is the best looking AE so far from Suntup to me.

I agree, it is quite impressive, I am reading the numbered edition right now. I first read 1984 in high school a 'few' years ago, when 1984 seemed far, far in the future!

Nicely presented, very handsome edition.

Cool book and autograph to have. I like that your collection is so diverse. Makes it fun and unpredictable to follow.

Thanks Bryan!

These are not the droid stamps you are looking for.

Two more Ben Bova proofs for my collection.
I now have 54 Bova proofs, and I know there are more out there.
Plans to squeeze my new bookcase in the room did not go as planned, it would just be too crowded, so it is going into my bedroom instead. I don't think I can fit another bookcase in my house!

That’s impressive. So if I understand it correctly, you’re a fan of Ben Bova then? :-)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

How'd you guess?
He has (had) a straightforward style coupled with interesting plots and ideas that appealed to me, with possibly only two novels I didn't care for, which made it a 98% winning record!

My latest bookcase, christened with a cold drink and a hot book:
