"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
Poor Mike, he just spent his last nickle on books!
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

You guys are great . I will keep trying though. And I didn't spend my last nickle. I just need to save a few more before I can get anything else. So much for me staying away. I should have known that was not going to happen.

Ordered new stuff. Dave is the best. I got The Shining S\L WITH A EXTRA SLIPCASE AND DJ. I also got a S\L Dr.Sleep with a full page colored remarque of Rose the Hat and I got a Talisman US uncorrected proof. So yea, I went a little nuts. Plus I ordered 3 cases from The Collector. I got 11/22/63, Salems' Lot and Under the Dome. Looking forward to getting my new stuff. Pics of course, and maybe some pics of older stuff.

Wow, hurricane of a haul. Some essential and stunning items in there. Nice...
Thanks. I make no apologies . Although some people may think I have gone crazy . I learned one thing. If you see something, and you have the means to get it, get it because it may not be there tomorrow.

Well put.
Congrats! Some of those items don't come up very often. Good job!
The tray case for 11/22/63 is one of the best 3rd party cases out there, you will not be disappointed.

Thanks every one. Looking forward to getting all my new stuff.
Yes, I am officially, slowly getting into proofs. I really think the Talisman is a great book so why not start with that proof. Getting a Dr.Sleep with a re-Marque is a bonus. That shining should also be good. I have bought 2 cases from The collector before. I bought a slip case for The Gunslinger first ed I have and I bought the tray case for The Stand. His stuff is really good but that 11/22/63 one looks so cool, I could not pass it up. And even though it's a 3rd, I still want to protect my Salems' Lot a little bit. I hope to swap it out for a 2nd some day. So now it's the waiting game.
P.S It looks like Mon for the books

And now the Talisman proof (still in plastic)
sorry for the blurry pic. It could be because of the plastic.

Why does that TALISMAN proof remind me of Laura Palmer?
Nice stuff though!

Thanks Jack and Brian. I am very pleased with all I got. I now have to find more space because I am running out of shelf space.
Twin Peaks is coming from Lynch so I would expect it to be weird. Maybe some day I will check it out.
Now I am going to rest. Maybe.

Slip cases from Tom are on the way. Expected by this Thursday. Plus, I sent Tom my remarque and he will put it up on his site soon I think.
