Here's mine.
John
Congrats John and number 3 too boot!
Not a huge new pride and joy, but still one I am happy about.
A first trade of The Eyes of the Dragon
I owned this book back in the 80's but I don't remember the production quality. Anyway, I have to say this is easily the sharpest trade edition produced by Viking. The cloth is very soft on the spine, and the spine is the most attractive spine I've seen, and you get foil stamping on the front cover. It was well worth getting this one!
heck about time. I have a Limited Edition, proof, and first UK but I never had the easiest book to get, the US trade. lol
(starts the chant)Picture, picture, picture
Finally got around to framing these.
Patrick, recognize anything?
I love the HSB poster!! I KNOW where you go that!!!
Congratulations!!!
How did you get the one of Song of Kali?
I'm still looking to buy the S/L, but I saw it going for less than the cover price at ebay.com and I'd like to get one of those.
Wanted list:
Ubris
Bought it from the artist.

I just purchased the S/L Desperation with the # that matches my Dark Tower set.
I now own TWELVE Stephen King S/Ls with the same number. I could have had FOURTEEN, but I had to pass on Insomnia and Cycle of the Werewolf since the prices were just too high.
I also recently won an Easton Press 1st state Dead Zone in mint condition for less than $70 shipped.
GREAT! Nice to see you Tippy4.
Rahfa, good to see you here.
Yes, but you are lucky in that you "magic number" is lower than 100, which allows you to add books like PS10, TGWLTG (which I know you would never buy), The Colorado Kid, and a few others that have VERY low print runs.
My number is below 500, so I do have a lot of opportunities....just not as many as you.
Anyhow, here is my list of matching books:
DT1
DT3
DT4
DT5
DT6
DT7
Desperation
Black House
Quietly Now
Salem's Lot
Secretary of Dreams V1
Cujo
Now if I could just find my missing DT2 to complete my set! I would also like to find From a Buick 8 and hope that one day the Insomnia I passed on will show up again.
I'm missing DT II as well...and you're right, I wouldn't buy TGWLTG even it was the same #, or Colorado Kid for that matter...
I have DT I, III-VII, Desperation, Black House, Quietly Now, Salem's Lot, Sec. of Dreams, Danse Macarbe, Dark Dreamers, Christine, Borderlands 5, Gauntlet 2, The Plant (2 of 3), Buick 8, Night Visions and Bare Bones (no King sig).
I've never seen one that I then passed up on, for whatever that's worth...that's basically why I bought the Plant, and I defintiely overpaid for Dark Dreamers...it's been a long time since I got a new one though. I think Bare Bones was the last one, and it's not even signed by King.
If I could somehow find Cujo and/or The Stand (and DT II) I would basically have an unmatchable set.
I'm actually reducing my King books to that core group, selling as I go, and I'll use the money for the needle-in-haystack matching number...
Although I am far from an expert, I think the signature is absolutely genuine.
Whenever I come here... my heart breaks a little...
Roland would have understood.
Thanks!
btw, Tippy and Rahfa congrats on collecting the same numbers. both are very impressive!
