This is one of the most beautiful limited editions of a King book. I blame my addiction to limited King books on this particular one. Years ago I purchased the 'gift' edition directly from the publisher and the day it arrived in the mail I spent about an hour doing nothing but looking through it, touching it and smelling it. It was the very first 'fine' book I ever bought. I didn't get the signed/numbered edition until years later and it's stunning. I met Donald M. Grant at a horror convention some years after I purchased it and told him that it was all his fault for turning me into a fine book junkie! He thought that was pretty funny. I asked him to sign my 'gift' edition (as I had taken it with me to the convention to get as many signatures in it as I could- scored Peter Straub, Donald Grant and Thomas Canty!) Word of warning- be careful of the pretty pink illustrations on the outside of the slip case and the fronts of the books as they tend to 'wear' after a while.

It is so lovely...I have looked through it once, wrapped it to protect it and not it sits all shiny on my bookcase. Limited editions are going to send me broke!

someone on FB posted a link to order that special EW edition dedicated to king on amazon, and since i struck out at the bookstore (fail bookstore, fail), i went ahead and got it from there, and since they also didn't have ploughshares, i just went ahead and ordered that from their website too. less hunting down i have to do. yey for the internet. i do believe this brings me up to 7 king related items on order or in transit. i'm gonna have to go to merchandising rehab if this keeps up.

I want those Night Visions!!! I have all of them in the unsigned editions but I am very proud of those books. Did you stop at 8? Because Subterranean Press took them over and published 9-12 and then they also stopped publishing them. Too bad because there's some really fantastic stories in the run.

I only had NV5 S/L. These were sitting in The Strand's Rare Book Room for $40 each, so I had to take them home. Now I'm looking for 1-4 and 9. I will probably also try for the Sub Press volumes.
