I could not agree more Frik. Books as i'objects d'art are sensual, the choice paper,the rippled covers,or smooth leather, the ARTWORK-if you do not open it, you MAY never read it.It may be forgotten. As the French say Arrosier C'est La vie- Drink up Have a good time -also Eros C'est la vie la vie .Eros that is life. Pleasure get it while you can. think if you open and look at a limited first ,first,signed edition you are one of a few choice people. It makes you. very honored,to have that rare relationship,with the author,illustrators,book designers, and graphic artists that very few have. Open it ,unless you are ONLY interested in investment.

I have 2 duplicate Signed limited 10 1000 copies of the "Stories From the Plague Years" and "The Secret Backs of Things"- anyone have a book they would like to trade for a copy of both? I'm looking for a unsigned CD edition "From a Buick Eight", or a unsigned CD version of "Full dark ,no Stars" ;if there is a nibble i have an unsigned Uk hardcover that has never been read with blue cornfield Dust-jacket-alternate to sweeten the deal ,this edition is perfect from Hodder and Stoughton -and unsigned/rare item actually in U.S.. I also have duplicate "Slipcased Signed Robin Furth's complete limited Dark t Tower Concordance". The way i see it I only "need" one of each of these books which i ended up with 3 signed doubles ,since I am in the book club and I ordered some grab-bags .If anyone needs to fill a gap I'll make a fair ,equitable trade-if anyone.. wishesI just want to fill some gaps and not have duplicates. Beambounder. You never know what you are going to get in the book club, so I purchased and ended up with 3 signed twin sets.

The book I was most interesed in purchasing was The Gunslinger, by Stephen King. I wanted a first edition. At first I got a first edition 3rd printing for $80. then I saw a first edition second printing for $175 (which I thought was an awesome price!) Maybe someday I will get a first edition first printing, but right now the best price I saw was $400 and that is just too much for me to pay for just one book.

The most expiensive book I ever purchsed was Knowing Darkness (a collection of Stephen King artwork) I paid $325 for it. I bought beacuse I wanted to have and see all of the different types of Stephen King Artwork. I could have the artwork from limited edition books like Firestarter, Christine and Skeletion Crew without having to purchase all of these books seperately.

So far, I don't have any signed limited edtion books. These are just way out of my price range. I am happy to have gift editions and artist editons.

I was lucky enough to have someone recommend The Dark Tower in 1980 from Donald Grant. I paid $20.00 for the first edition! Little did I know it would end being the most expensive book on my shelf. I do buy some of SK's gift editions, but anything more is just too much. I have all of his books in hardback and I can't imagine ever selling them.

Although I think this is doable at some point I want/need the hardcover version of Cycle of the Werewolf!

Haha, I have lived there - well, almost; a couple of miles -literally-from your Washington (state) border - right opposite Sumas; pretty close to Bellingham.
I used to live in Canada (British Columbia).
I'd love to re-live those years!

sk

Yeah, i used to live in New Jersey... Ahh, the good old days, when shipping costs didn't hurt much and orders never took over 3 weeks to arrive...

I think the problem is that you live too damn far away!!! The United States is a BIG country. Plenty of room. Cheaper shipping from CD if you move here. Think about it!!!

Subterranean Press is definitely worth a look. I just ordered their The Horror Stories of Rober E. Howard. looks like a great book!

sk

Brad is right, Subterranean plans to do limiteds of Bethany's Sin, The Night Boat, They Thirst (yes, even after the Dark Harvest limited), and Stinger. I don't have timeframes for any of these yet. Stinger was originally announced at the same time the limited of The Wolf's Hour was announced, but then they signed the deal for the first four books, and I'm not sure when Stinger will be done.

If I recall correctly, Subterranean already mentioned it on their website a while back along with Bethany and Night Boat. I don't recall if Stinger was officially mentioned on their site, but maybe it is Hunter who mentioned it? I know I read it somewhere.

[frik51]

Subterranean is supposed to do They Thirst at some point.

Dark Harvest came with a very nice limited years ago.



Would McCammon even allow a second limited edition?
