I know Tom would love to post pics of his collection but there is not enough room on this server.

 

Seriously though, keep posting your pics, it's good to see other keen collectors' books

a few new things

 

This is a hard back

 

 

someone had this on e-bay for buy it now 10.00 and the other one is my mininecro

 

One of my first buys of the year , a Lettered Freaks to go with the S/L and an Uncorrected Proof

Here is a pic of part of my cubicle at work...

 

If you look closely, you will find SIX Brian Lumley titles among the books.

 

Here's that copy of "The Source" that you can see on the shelf above...

 

I've read it a few times! I mis those old covers...

 

Been adding a few books to my collection lately.

The Ganley 1st ed's and Coven are all from Silky and signed by Brian :cool:

 

 

Ship of Dreams, lettered C from Allen Koszowski, also signed

With Silky selling more of Brian's manuscripts on ebay, I managed to get myself another!

Also got through the post on Friday the proof copy of Tarra Khash: Hrossak. Only need to find the time to read it now.

I am probably being odd here, but I don't find the need to have uncorrected proofs of books. I'm happy with the the fully finished ones. but hey I'm strange like that

I must admit to having one or two ARC's.

 

I did read the Touch but I'm saying nowt here about it's content until after it's been published.

 

Oh dear. Just seen the email from sub press.

 

It seems like they have sent out Screamin Science Fiction and there are some minor problems, like they didn't put in most of the illustrations.

 

See their web site for more info but basically, they will be sending out corrected versions and you can keep the one they have already sent you.

So that basically means you got a real rare book for free, huh? Lucky buggers! Talk about a real collector's edition there!

Even more so as they have recalled all books from dealers etc and these will be destroyed, along with any not yet sold.

 

If you do get one, keep a hold of it.

Mine came today #23 with 3 illustrations inside, so hopefully should get another once its reprinted

Came with a free copy of Postscripts, a 144 page paperback of short stories.

 

Regarding the ARC's, I like getting different versions of the same book. The ARC's aren't sold to the public so are a little harder to get and are very limited with their print runs.

Thats also why I couldn't pass up Silkys offer of the Lost Years manuscript. It's one of a kind and as such the prize of my collection. Brian also signed the start of each chapter
