Thanks guys
@Bob – yes it is a good feeling
@lot guy – thanks, the only thing taking the wind out of my sails is the fact that I have a 1st/1st Running Man arriving tomorrow, so it looks like I’ll be tracking down the softcovers now.
Just received the F&G (Folded and Gathered) pages for Donald M. Grant's edition of Desperation.
For those who don't know, the F&G is a set of folded pages (signatures) before they are bound.
This Desperation set includes the (unfortunately) unsigned limitation page with the spaces for King's and the artist Don Maitz's signatures. All the illustrations are included.

Great items!
Yesterday I attended to a french signing by Neil Gaiman.
There was about 300 people I guess, and the signing last about three hours and half.
It was a nice opportunity to meet him, speak to him a bit, and getting 3 books signed. He is nice enough to sign pretty much anything you put on front of him (one of the bookshop staff said that he would only sign 1 book + as many copies of OCEAN which is his latest book here).
So I got him to sign a copy of AMERICAN GODS, a copy of OCEAN as well as an ARC copy of SHADOW SHOW (dedicated to Ray Bradbury). When I asked him if he remembered it, he said he did and he looked at a copy (being surprised to see a prepublication copy), talked a bit about Ray Bradbury...
Two things stroke me the most :
1) I knew it, but he has such a nice / peculiar voice. It is so easily recognisable. I really love his voice. If you never heard him, I SO encourage you to listen his inspirational speech "Make good art" which he did at a university of arts a few years back. It's really a nice speech. Really moving and touching

2) Somehow, I thought that he was writing and signing quite elegantly. I know it sounds weird, but the way that someone holds a pen make it sliding on a page can be... rough or, contrarily, sort of elegant. He was the latter, taking his time to write and speak with everyone. Obviously the fact that I got him to sign 3 books also makes him spending more time, so it's better to chat a bit :)
I'll meet him again on monday for a press conference :)

Awesome doodles! I met Gaiman last summer for the US tour of Ocean. Super friendly, but he was too busy (1,700+ people and 2 AM by the time the line was done) to sign much more than his name to the book. I did manage to get my first edition of Good Omens signed as well, which was cool. Congrats on the books!
I've told myself over and over that I don't collect proofs. BUT, then I saw these and bought them. Desperation and The Regulators were in the shrink wrap and Insomnia looks brand new, also. Desperation is first state with "Steven King" on the copyright page.

Great additions Dan ! Can you give more details about "then I saw these"..... :)
Nice work Dan. I also never collected proofs, then I got one, and another one, and then all of a sudden, I was collecting proofs.
Latest addition: the box for the first Plume editions. Now I have all the boxes :coo3l:

Love the box sets!
So I have a story... I thought long and hard about my favorite book of King's other than the Dark Tower and it always comes back to what got me into SK... and that was IT. I have the lettered, a couple F 1sts, the sewer grate Dolso, matching S/L and Port and the GE I wanted remarqued.... so as some know it is not an easy task to get that done by all the artists. For those of you that don't know Glen Orbik is sick and is not doing them right now but graciously agreed to hold my book until he felt better from Chemo to do it.... my thoughts and prayers are with him... That book project has been on-going for sometime and looks like it will take more time but hopefully by early next year I will be able to show you. They all did 2 page full color remarques... BUT THIS P&J is not about that... it is about a score that goes far above that.
What you see below is true.. it is done by Robert Giusti. It is his orginal cover for IT done back in the 80's. It is quite large as you can see and signed. He is almost 80 years old. He was born during the depression!!! He is not a easy man to find... an does not do this... in fact he never has... and has made it known to me he never will again. He is such a nice man, and very hard of hearing so at times I spoke to his family member... but he, at his age... still has it. I will take many more pics when it arrives later this week. He, interestingly enough, would HAVE NO part of drawling in my book for fear his paint would bleed through. It took me months to find him and weeks of teaching and showing him remarques before he turned me down... he said he wanted thousands to do it and that was that... then a week or so later... he contacted me and said he would do it... but not in the book and gave me AN AMAZING deal. He also painted it and told me I could trim it down and glue it into the book (kind of cute) and asked what the size was. I gave him the book and he did it as if it was open to cover both pages like the other artists. I would never damage this work of art. I know of no other in the world and he has never done this before. It is the pride and joy of my IT collection.
