Ladies & gentlemen...my two latest acquisitions...
First, my Christmas gift from my wonderful & amazing beau:
Signed 1st/1st of On Writing:
It is in just beautiful condition, the binding is so tight I imgine it was only opened to be signed...something that actually rendered me, of all people, speechless!
Secondly--the deal of the century (or maybe just of the year) a 1st/1st of Eyes of the Dragon, in very nice shape---for $8.50! :
YOU MUST CHILL. I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS.
ugh...those pics don't seem to work--any help on posting pics from flickr?
YOU MUST CHILL. I HAVE HIDDEN YOUR KEYS.
Here ya go, Ves - I used the actual pics instead of the pages.

Gosh friends, I am still shaking from how cool this is to me.
Our dear and very generous friend oy-the-brave made this amazing gift to me :
Yes, it is a signed Lee Bermejo Long Road Home Issue 5 Variant.
I cannot thank him enough. His kindness has truly touched my heart.
The community here at TDT is just amazing.

How cool, Pam - and your FAVE cover! Oy is an amazing guy.

congrats to all of you on your new acquisitions.
Yup, the Bermejo is my favorite cover! Dave is absolutely awesome! I was blown away by his generosity. Between that and Wiz sending me my favorite Jae Lee cover signed, it's been an amazing year of gifts for me. I am deeply grateful to both of these wonderful collectors. I am humbled by both items these gentlemen have made the effort to gift to me.

Congratulations, Pam. I'm very happy for you. That is a fantastic present - and Dave is a wonderful guy.

It is absolutely amazing... and yes, Dave is a wonderful guy. Blew me away! I've already ordered a matching frame and matting to go with the Jae Lee comic that Wiz gave me. I'm a lucky comic-geek!

Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

That's very nice.
I was so glad to finally get a chance to come in and read your story David. I think it's so cool that your wife got you the way mine did.
I've been so busy with the baby, I barely had time to react to the amazing gift you sent...my wife totally got PAID (scenic route)
I put a pic of it in the loot thread, one of the coolest books I have ever owned and I can't thank you enough for conspiring with Dora to get it for me.
And I love the extra
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Post it in here, Matt! And tell us the story too.

Happy to
My wife decided this year she would try and find me a collectible King book without having any idea what I wanted. Assuming anything Dark Tower would work, she contacted David. They have met on two occasions and she just loves him.
She had heard me say one time that I would love to own all the first editions of The Dark Tower books so that must have been where she started.
You should have seen my face when I opened the box and looked up at her. She giggled and laughed, rolling this way and that. I had no idea she would go to that kind of trouble to make this happen for me. Had it sent to the bank, her and her co-workers puzzled over what was so cool about it for a while.
I know both of these individuals (Dora and David) are among the highest caliber humans I have ever met but I was still taken back by the generosity and work on my behalf. Just the best Christmas ever on every level. I showed my grand daughter the book knowing someday maybe I could give it to her.
David also through in this amazing extra which I have seen before. It has been donated for giveaway two years running and I always wanted one. So when I saw it, that was when the maniacal laughter started.

I just received this today:
UK Danse Macabre
When going through some of my saved notes, I found this from an auction by shibus back in 2006:
I was amazed to see that he said there were only 600 copies of this produced. Is this correct? The auction I won says 1000 copies."Danse Macabre" Written by Stephen King and Published in 1981 by MacDonald. True UK First Edition as Stated on the Copyright page and Lacking a Number Sequence. One of only 600 Copies. A Very Low First Printing for any SK book and matched only with the UK Carrie. Book is N/Fine with Straight Spine, Sharp Corners and Bright Gold Lettering. 3 small Circles in Red ink on the FFEP. Dust Jacket is VG with Small amount of Chipping to Head and Heel of Spine, 1 1/2" V Shaped tear to Top rear and Minor wear along flaps and edges. Protected in Mylar cover.

I've heard estimates state there were as few as 100 copies and no more than 1000. My experience makes me believe the HB print run is much closer to 100 than 1000.
