About to knock off from work. Thrs-Fri I get to work from home (yay). will run my wife to work and come home to more boxes.
Appreciate your patience. no one wants these up on the site more than me.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Wish I lived closer. I can type with my eyes closed! Let me know if I can help in anyway!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
There is some great stuff in the new consignment! A couple of very nice items have already been already sold (a signed UK DIFFERENT SEASONS proof?? That is one scarce book...) but there's plenty left.
DT set for $7000. I thought that they were selling 10K?

The books are not all in 'fine' condition I think.
Just want to post some kudos for David's packing. I received a box of books from Betts via the USPS and my heart fell. The box was VERY smashed up - 2 corners actually caved in a few inches. I was scared to open it and was already thinking about how I'd tell him about the books being damaged.
** BUT **
The most excellent news is that because of the way David meticulously wrapped the books in bubble pack and put crushed paper around them, there was absolutely NO dammage to the books whatsoever!!! *Doing the happy dance!!*
Thank you SO MUCH, David!!!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
You are most welcome!!!
I think being a collector myself, I kinda go over the top in packing. For instance, I just shipped a 50 pound Knowing Darkness book to the West Coast...we all know how many were damaged when they were initially sent out. Well, this baby was triple boxed with hard foam cushoning on all 4 corners. It made the trip just fine!
My packing is not fool proof....I regret to say that UPS "totaled" the Legends: Gunslinger AP remarqued print I sent to Pam...

Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I was bummed, for sure, but that wasn't your fault, David. The tube was sturdy, it just got crushed. Looked like something heavy fell it, maybe something in the back of the UPS truck? Or it got stepped on with heavy shoes, maybe. Nothing you could have done there. Not.A.Thing.

Was the print damaged?
Oh yes. Whatever happened to the tube, it crushed down on the print. When we unrolled it - there were crinkles down one whole side of the print, and the ends got pushed up into the top of the tube when the print got crushed. David wasn't kidding - I'd consider it totaled as well.

It certainly sounds totaled.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

LOTS of new stuff on Bett's website!!
I am still trying to corral a guy in Florida who inherited his father's collection...He has over 300 books and some great stuff.
Also, another potential seller trying to line up that has a Lettered Gunslinger amongst other gems...I hope to land these consignees.

Any chance of some Doubleday proofs coming up?
(I guess not...)
(Not that I can afford them)
no doubleday proofs

Just curious, Mr. RT, but which lettered editions (apart from the GUNSLINGER) are you still looking for?
I tried erasing the number from my signed GUNSLINGER and putting a letter in it's place but I just ripped a hole in the page. Oh well.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
