[Tito_Villa]

A also have one of Glenn's PC copies of the S/L of 'The Secretary of Dreams Vol 2' which he noted as an 'Artists copy' and also did a quick remarque on the front endpapers ...

Remarqued S/L of Full Dark, No Stars

[frik51]

When CD offered these remarqued Full Dark No Stars, I decided against ordering.
I liked the Secretary of Dreams books quite a bit, but not enough to go for a Chadbourne original.

Boy, how could I have been so stupid!!!!!

I passed up the remarked FDNS too. Ouch! Nice collection!

[Tito_Villa]

But i got my remarqued FDNS direct from Glenn, had the book sent straight to him from CD and then over the pond to me when the artowrk was finished

Ok well i didn't really have time to take any real photos last night but to give a taste i took a quick pic of 2 bookcases, the 1st contains all King, and the second James Herbert the top few shelves with Ray Bradbury, a few Centipede Press books and Peter Straub. The other shelves contain CD and Sub Press books. Deatailed pics coming this weekend and of the other bookcase & shelves/artwork.

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

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!!!
