Yup it houses my signed 1st edition really nicely and was made by Dick Olson of bookslipcase.com, really can't recomend his cases enough!!!

Very nice!!! (looking him up in another window.)

And the website answers my question about the Gunslinger case as well. When I get a book i think is worth one of those, I'll look into it.

[Tito_Villa]

Is that a wooden slipcase for The Stand???

As I said....drooling time's here.
I see some wonderful items, Tom, including some amazing slipcases.
(btw, I ordered one of those Dolso Night Shift cases, realised the order was not about a limited book-edition, but about a limited slipcase edition and right away cancelled my order. Now I just don't know if I did the right thing...).
I do have a question I hope you can answer. Although I own numerous editions of certain books, they're all different editions. Why collect many copies of the same editon, like your four Dark Tower VII copies? I know more people do this, but I just can't figure out why.

One was a 1st edition that i was given and might be giving away to a friend soon, but the other 3 ... 1 is an Artist's Edition ... 2 is a 1st edition signed by King & whelan ... and number 3 is the best, a 1st edition signed by Whelan that my girlfriend got me for my birthday
