Now they freakin tell me. Four thousand some odd books later....JFC on a stick.
Ha!

How long have you been collecting now? Still a fairly recent thing yes? Mostly King and Cemetery Dance if I'm not mistaken.
Those are pretty good items to focus on. It gets very easy to get caught up in other publishers, other authors, maybe just that new line of books from that start-up I just heard about. Or, god forbid, you start collecting the back list from a group of small press publishers. An oh-so slippery slope. I've been catching up on the backlist from Cemetery Dance for over a decade now. While at the same time buying everything from Thunderstorm Books, the backlist of Ash-Tree Press, Arkham House, Fedogan & Bremer, Chizine Press in hardcover, Earthling Publications, White Noise, Everything from authors Brian Lumley, Douglas Clegg, Ray Garton, J F Gonzalez, Sarah Pinborough, Elizabeth Massie, Tom Piccirilli, Brian Keene. Staying current with all the fantasy/horror authors I like, Brandon Sanderson, Tim Lebbon, James A Moore, Patrick Rothfuss, and George RR Martin. Although admittedly its easy keeping up with Rothfuss and Martin. I also feed my wifes book collecting habit, thank goodness she doesnt always have to have the limited editions, but she has almost as many books as I do. Her graphic novel collection is awesome.
Oh look....something sparkly
What was I saying?

Wasn't as upset about missing out on the offers as I might have been a few years ago. Still love collecting limited editions but am limiting the authors I get right now.

What was I saying?. I'm also hoping to establish a number with CD so I can match it moving forward with limiteds that are offered.

String?! Where, where?! I love that crow LOL.
Very true, Mark. I'm still very, very much in the humble beginnings of my collecting. But, I can see how easily it can be to amass a large number of books. Especially if you're running off a backlist of so many publishers and authors such as yourself. I have several series going which my OCD just loves the thought of. Still plenty of King to get caught up on as well so that will keep me busy for years. Not so much working from a backlist but I did just recently start collecting White Noise chaps starting with the bluebird one I believe. Keith hooked me up with the #8. I'm also hoping to establish a number with CD so I can match it moving forward with limiteds that are offered.

Has Chizine stopped making limited editions? I haven't' seen anything from them in that format in a while. If so, that kinda bums me out as I think that they put out some rather interesting fiction. And while I still go through my fair share of paperbacks, I would almost always prefer a limited.

Well, yet another announcement today for a new limited slipcased lol. You guys are killing me, Brian! Hopefully the announcement today will only be one of many from this particular author. I must say though, I really, really like the direction you guys are headed in with these limiteds of late. Very reasonably priced for the everyday Joe such as myself and very collectable. If there ever was a time to be a part of the CDCC; that time is now, my friends.
