My signed copy of Charles Beaumont's HUNGER AND OTHER STORIES, my signed copy of Joseph Payne Brennan's NINE HORRORS AND A DREAM, my Stephen King 1st HC that's inscribed to me, as well as the Laymon and Bloch HC 1sts that are inscribed to me. 'Course, that leaves behind my inscribed 1st HC of SWAN SONG, my signed 1st of Ken Grimwood's REPLAY, and a truckload of other books that I'd weep over for years.

Hmm...hard to limit it, but the top one for me to save might be my Boy's Life 1st edition signed by Robert McCammon. Strangely, I found it at a used book shop for 30 bucks. Same place I found my Subterranean Press edition of Old Man's War for the same price. It's a good used book shop.Comment

Question is unfair.... I'd quickly assemble my quantum teleport field and immediately send my library in total to a safe environ - deep in my mountain lair. Then I'd get the wife and kids
I'm sorry.. I simply can't answer this question seriously at this time.Comment

The teleport field, not the wife and kids...."I'm a vegan. "

This one is easy for me, because my top five have remained steady for years now:
"A Soldier of the Great War" by Mark Helprin
"Summer of Night" by Dan Simmons
"A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K. LeGuin
"The Magus" by John Fowles
"We Have Always Lived in the Castle" by Shirley Jackson
If there was a number 6, it would be: "NOVA" by Samuel R. DelanyComment

Some very nice choices here.
I finally came up with:
The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R.Tolkien
The Stand - S.King
Boy's Life - R.R.McCammon
Carrion Comfort - D.Simmons
The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever - S.Donaldson ( I know, I know..)

I think I could finally pick five.... but they have to be five boxes, albeit smaller boxes then I'd like.Comment

Some of these aren't horror-related, but these are my save-worthy ones:
Boy's Life (nice to see this one listed elsewhere on this thread): Robert McCammon
A Fine and Private Place: Peter S. Beagle
Orlando: Virginia Woolf
Speaks the Nightbird: Robert McCammon
Northanger Abby: Jane AustenComment

Mmm, I don't have many super-nice editions, but I'd probably save some cheapies that are personalized to me, like The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore. Also, Angels and Visitations by Neil Gaiman.Comment
