Dan Hocker's Collection

[Grant Wootton]

Grrr !!!!! That makes me mad as hell (but, I'm pleased that you've come to a resolution of sorts with the seller Dan ).

Threat of a low rating does wonders for those #!@@$%#$@s! Good going, Dan! But I hope you didn't become one of those headaches that Brian has been letting know about!

[Dan Hocker]

Nope. Honestly the problem with the DJ wasn't that big of a deal which is why I didn't ask to return the book, and just left a 3 star rating. This other one that I posted pictures of I explained the problem and sent the pictures and they said no problem to returning it, and that the sticker was their fault, and the corners must have been damaged in shipping.

Well while I'm waiting for the last book to come, I thought I'd post the complete trilogy set. This is from Terry Brook's "Voyage of the Jerel Shannara" trilogy / arc. The first book in the series is kinda cool, but given the condition it looks like the DJ ended up in, I'm not surprised that they didn't use that design on the rest of them.

The third book in the series has a protective cover over the DJ. I'm not a big fan of those covers, so I may attempt to remove it, if I think it can be done without harming the DJ.

Very nice set, Dan. I have a few books with clear jacket like that (from my grandmother's collection)--they tend to get scratched easily and then show on book covers that are darker. At least the older ones (1980s) did.

It isn't really scratched. It's like the plastic it's made out of contracted and made it kinda "wrinkle". Kind of hard to describe. It's very cool though, and it's only partially clear, to give the allusion of fog over the artwork. Fits very well with the book.

Jackets aside, nice threesome you have there there Dan

Picked up another book shelf today to replace a much smaller one. Now my other main shelf looks really empty. Although I guess it'll start filling up once I start replaceing my place holder paperbacks with hardcovers.

You must not be an edward lee fan.We just had this talk in my collectors thread.

Actually I am an Edward Lee fan and did see the thread. Taking a book into the bathroom while reading is one thing but storing a book, especially Knowing Darkness in the bathroom is simply wrong!

Ok you win that one.

Lol, it's not in the bathroom... Why would I have a bookshelf in a bathroom? It's just next to the door to the bathroom.
