Last but certainly not least, I thought I'd post something that I had to move around to put some of this stuff on the shelf. These where my grandfathers from WWII.

Dan - the books, fantastic - the Purple Heart - freaking awesome !!!! You should be very proud indeed - this is a piece of history and personal courage during some of the worst years this world has ever seen.

Agreed on the Purple Heart!! Very Impressive!!

And you got the perfect book to get a PC copy of!!!! Preston/Child!!

Fantastic medals! Where did your grandfather serve?

Europe, we think at the Black forest near the Sigfried line.

Ok, here are some of the latest books I have gotten. Aquired these in a big "Stephen King" bundle on ebay. I haven't found a home for them yet. Some of these are first editions, I'll come back later and post which ones.

I like those King books you have Dan. A lot of mine are from the SKL, but the rest are limited in some way. And you have Knowing Darkness?? I wanted that one BAD but couldn't afford it and still can't. Cool stuff.

I picked up one of the damaged copies we had here at work, it's really the only way I could justify getting one.

I got lucky with the Knowing Darkness.....I picked it u when they really dropped the price to selloff the last few.

I got myself the artists's edition a while back at a very reasonable price --- well, except for the shipping component --- would have been cheaper to airfreight an elephant from freaking Africa, and at least the neighbours kids would have something to play with Well done on the Whelan remarqued copy Siep, that one's a real jewel

I saw the movie, Operation Dumbo Drop! The elephant droppings would make the extra expense to Southland worth it, tho!

Yeah, true, however; it transformed Connie's gardinia's into triffids - which isn't a bad thing, just a pain in the ass insofar as the continuing disappearances of the neighbours pets, which are becoming a little more difficult to explain each passing day

Let's be fair, Grant. The weight is about the same.
