Patrick's Collection

I don't particularly read Dean Koontz, except for his Odd Thomas series, of which I am a big fan.

Here is my Advanced Readers Copy of ODD THOMAS, the first in the series.

Thank you for the kind comments, guys. I'll post more photos next week when I get back home.

I wish they were mine, but I think Patrick should take the praise on these!!

Yep, kudo's to Patrick ... oops ... But, reckon if you had a set they'd be equally as nice, right ?? - time now for a beer and a good lie down

Bloody awesome books Mr Elk, you're to be congratulated (and envied in equal measure) on these

Matching backs of the slipcase and the book:



I'm glad to see Easton finally issuing S/L editions in slipcases. This is the nicest Easton edition in my collection.
