I agree, they paid for it, if they wanna sell it...their business, I`m really not mad at them.
Yes, the ticket, the time off, travel costs...dunno, the economy is hard, people do whatever they can do make some extra money.
Me personally, I would never sell anything out of my SK collection, never mind signed books and the limited editions from CD, I wouldn`t even sell any of the first editions.
Except for a medical emergency, that would be the only thing that would make me consider selling.
I`m not a wealthy man, not even middle class, and if I were to die tomorrow, my book collection is the only thing of value I would leave to my daughter as inheritance. I got no cash to leave her, not even a house, so...whatever I have is simply not for sale, it`s for her and I`m gonna give it to her all on her 18th birthday and if she needs to sell then, for college or whatever, if I can`t provide the funds in another way...so be it.
But until then...no selling ever, only invest in more books.
Here`s to hoping I`ll score one in Toronto, but it`s a slim chance, big event, lots of people and I`m going alone, so...chances are not great, but like Andy said: " Hope is a good thing and a good thing never dies. "
That's exactly how I felt. These are really good people. I know my husband and I could be friends with them. Very down to earth, funny, and kind. Stephen and his family are the kind of people that give me faith in this troubled world.
At the Brooklyn event, it went so fast. He didn't have time to talk about any of his other works in any detail. I could have lapped it all up for another 4 hours--the audience was so quiet you could hear a pin drop (except for when they made us laugh!).

Your post is so sweet and loving of your daughter. Your book collection sounds amazing--it will be worth a lot of money but you know what's worth more (and believe me, I know this from experience) is having a dad that truly loves you and thinks of how he can help you. I would have given anything for a father like you. Some things are worth far more than money, my friend. Your daughter is lucky.
Oh, two more days until I get to see them all....................two more days......................two more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Iam jealous! hope you have a great time.
What did he say about Tabby?
Oh, just how she's the best and that Carrie wouldn't even exist without her, yada yada yada. It was nothing new really, but so freaking sweet. <3 There's just so much love there. <3
Sleeping Beauties gave me an idea. I could market and sell Ladies Sleeping Beauty Cocoons.
'Stay restful and avoid unwanted advances.'
And I could include pepper spray with every purchase.
I wonder if I need to get permission from Stephen and Owen?
I whould try Stephen, I am shure he has a whole regal team
Did he tell,the same story's. I wish some of these events where taped. I hope the Toronto one will be tapped. We got a few vedios of him on the end of watch tour
I wonder if tabby goes with him on tours
Cant Sleep. today is the day! SK in St Louis after 25 years. Hope he remembers me.
I met Mary Higgens Clark the same year I met King 25 years ago in St Louis, I talked to her for an hour (no one showed up for her book signing but me. She was such a joy to talk too. I met her again last month and said "Do you remember me?" She was sooo Cute and said she think she does! She is over 90 and still cranks a book or two a year! Here is hoping King does the same!!!
Re read CUJO and it still hold up! Great Book!

Safe travel for the tour group as they travel. Looks to be some "winter-like"( rain and snow!) weather in their path as they head to Missoula, MT.
Safe travels to our Ka-Tet as they also travel to the event.

We attended the Newton tour stop on Thurs.And it was so much fun! We met up with some other SK fans before so we made some new friends.EVERYONE in our group got at least one signed book between each couple so that was pretty great! I actually thought SK looked great!
I LOVED LOVED LOVED how tickets and books were handled at this venue! It should be the standard for all of them! You needed to be checked off their list and your plus one had to be with you and the books were behind a desk in boxes and as you walked out you were handed a book.So all the people who like to "look" for signed books or bully the people handing them out into doing so were SOL-it was great!

One more day until Missoula!!! I did see that they are predicting maybe some light snow flurries here in Spokane so I don't know what it's going to do on the drive over there. We're leaving early in the morning tomorrow so we'll have time to do some sight seeing and book shopping and eating and....you get the point.
I cannot wait to meet Marsha and Tina!!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
