Great stuff! "The Dark Tower: The Complete Concordance" by Robin Furth is one that I would really really like to have!

Very cool stuff.Me want some of those that I do not have.

Very nice editions, Terry; some I wish I had (but I came too late to CD)--The Furth book, of course, is no longer complete (though I still want one) and the Unpublished and Uncollected has been updated.

[peteOcha]

Hey thats right! Maybe RObin will do an update to include TWTTK and then maybe a re-release will be set up by CD?

[TerryE]

And finally "Lilja's Library" from CD, the trade version.

This is my only signed edition from Jonathan Carroll. I've only read a few of his books (but I think I have a copy of all of them) and he is a wonderful writer. My initial recommendation came from Neil Gaiman being a huge fan. This is a limited edition of the story "The Heidelberg Cylinder" with cover art, and also signed by Dave McKean. The back came out blurry, but it has recommendations from Neil Gaiman, Michael Moorcock, and Stephen King.

You had me at Michael Moorcock! Now I must search Jonathon Carroll.

[TerryE]

You know that mention was directed straight at you, right?

His first book, "The Land of Laughs" is a great place to start. He has some characters recur in many books (usually a primary character in one making a small appearance in another) but I don't think it's necessary to read them in order. I also really liked "From the Teeth of Angels" and "The Marriage of Sticks".

I figured.

Very nice additions, Terry!
Did you actually read the Lilja book?
I did: a tad too positive..to put it mildly. I don't think Lilja criticises anything King has done. It's recommendations non-stop.
Now, of course, I'd recommend anything King as written as well, but I wouldn't devote a book to this.

I haven't read the Lilja book, but have followed his web site for the past couple years, and you're right, he does seem to love everything. But the guy is a great fountain of information, and one of the biggest King fans in the world.

[frik51]

What makes one of the biggest fans, I wonder..
A huge collection? Having read all the books? Having met King? Having at least 100 signed books? Operating a King website?
I honestly don't know.
All of the above?
None of the above?
I think it's all about the inside. How do you feel about King's legacy.
And not being afraid to criticise....:-)
