Ron Clinton's notable Tweet brags...

Thanks. :-)

Boxer and Lab mix...we think.

Should make for a great dog then! I've heard Boxers are great dogs and I owned a black Lab as a kid. Her name was Midnight and Labs make for some of the best kid's dogs IMO.

Richard Laymon’s THE WOODS ARE DARK...and I pop up from behind my RC Cola logo and show off my face and my dog. Beware the cuteness (the dog, not me ;-))!

It is the second least expensive King signed book I have. Quietly Now was $40.00

Yep, I bought that one as well, also at the time of publication and for the $40 cover price. Even at the time it seemed absurdly low (well, both of them did) and I guess maybe Monteleone did it out of principle, to take a stand against gouging (or maybe it was a thank-you to his customers...?), but whatever his reasoning it made for a great day.

Yes, this was one of those pub. copies. I saved the invoice in the book, and it was priced at L55.99 (pounds), so that's what, around $75 for a signed/numbered Stephen King? Postage was another L22, but still...deals like that only come around once in a blue moon.

Nice book. This may be the only signed limited I truly kick myself for not buying at launch. It was affordable and within my budget.

...and now the thread also has a pic of my signed/limited King's JOYLAND (also in aftermarket slipcase).

I passed up a whole lotta 1st ed. HCs of that book before I sprung for that Fine/Fine copy. It was so large and so cheaply produced by Doubleday that spine sag and other condition/longevity issues are commonplace on almost all 1st eds. of that massive book. Add to that the fact that most copies also have worn dustjackets since it's a (early) King book and thus extremely likely that it's been read and re-read, possibly by multiple people. So it's tough to find a 1st ed. / 1st printing copy that essentially looks like it just came off the bookstore shelves...but sometimes patience wins out.

I'll be patiently awaiting its arrival

I need that Stand!
