So today I came home with a nice paperback copy of Stinger by Robert McCammon that I picked up at a local used bookstore. Had it in my collection when it was first published but donated it later on before I moved. This book has been mentioned a few times lately and I want to have a re-read. The mailman delivered my PS Publishing limited edition of Carrie that I ordered from Subterranean Press and also my first printing hardback of Booked To Die by John Dunning that I got off of Ebay. It's an ex-library copy but it's in really nice shape and the dj is perfect! There's no library stamping in it, just one of those envelope thingies pasted to the front page. Who's going to know unless they pull it off my shelf and look at it, right?
Can we see pics of Carrie. I so did not get to order the anniversary ones
So happy for you! Awesome!
Your wish is my command! This is not the Cemetary Dance edition- we still have that one to look forward to. Artwork is by Glenn Chadborne. The slipcase shows the invitation to the Prom, all bloodied up and burnt. The book has the same artwork as the dj, minus the titles and lettering. Here ya go:
Thank-you great looking book.
HOLY CRAP! I've been on the hunt for a copy of that one (Amazon is too easy--lol). I'll be taking a trip to my local B&N soon
Not expecting a signed one, but any copy for a low price is a good copy
Haven't even had time to look at the artwork inside yet, other than to see the signature page.
I would be making time.I wouldn't be able to control myself until I did.
Chores and a much-needed bike ride had to come first. Weather's turning into fall so gotta get out on my bike while I still can.
In the mail today arrived a really nice hardback 1st signed copy of Two O'Clock Eastern Wartime by John Dunning. It's actually one of the 'Fingerprint Editions', by that I mean the publisher inserted a page that not only has Dunning's signature but also one of his real fingerprints on it. There were five versions- one for each finger on one hand. He wanted to do something different and calls it an anti-limited limited edition. Now, if I can find the other four versions at a good price.......
Yer gonna need a bigger house and a reliable handmaiden!
Bought the entire dark series, Desperation, The stand, The Talisman, Dance Macabre, Cujo, Rose Matter, Geralds game, Mr Mercedes, From a Buick 8, Girl who love Tom Gordan, Fire starter, Pet Sematary, The Dark Half, Black House, Eyes of the Dragon, Deloris Clayborn, Skeleton Crew and five or six others I cant recall at the moment. All of them I got for .75 each at the local Value Village.
lol I know I was surprised too. Im a bit of a thrift store junkie as I HATE over spending. I was able to find the entire Grant edition hard backs of the Dark Tower series, the ones that include color illustrations. I also found a first edition hardback of The Stand with a near perfect dust jacket. From what I can find its worth over $150. But I have no intention of selling it.
Sweet - I'm going to check my local B&N today - I hope I'm not too late to the party.
You hit the jackpot! Amazing find on The Stand.
My latest jaunt to the thrift store didn't net any books, but I did get these for $10 - new - you can tell by the bottoms they were never worn. Now I just need a walker to help me walk in them and I'm all set.
that is not my funny, Dana Jean is the owner of that bit of wit
Went to B&N last week and they had a stack of 1st editions of NOS4A2 for $5.98 each, but I didn't luck out and find one with a signature.
Those are some sharp boots, nice find!
Gurrl, they are Isaac Mizrahi, retail $350. You should have seen me rushing to the counter to purchase and run. It felt criminal.
