I spent this weekend cataloguing my FPW collection. We are going to be making the move from corrupt and overtaxed Illinois to New Hampshire. I came across some things I haven't seen in a long time. I now have a record of all that is mine in FPW-land. I have cataloged 286 items (yes, it's a sickness). It took me 9 boxes to get it all packed. Precious cargo, and heavy too!! A total of 334 pounds of FPW items. I still have a long list of wants, still looking for Advanced Reader Copies and the holy grail of the Stodder and Houghton limited edition. The search goes on. Anybody care to share some of the more obscure items from your collections? My favorite might be a copy of Comic Fandom with an illustrated short story by FPW, 'The Anarchist', that does not even appear in the bibliography. He told me he had forgotten he wrote it and was kind enough to sign it for me on my one and only brush with greatness.

Nice! I've so far held off on some of the harder to find stuff like the magazines, more for my own sanity during a bunch of renovations than lack of desire. I do have a copy of the Dogooder broadside, as well as the original cover artwork for the graphic novel adaptation of The Keep (framed, with signed copies of the issues with them).

Any other less common items hanging out in collections here?

I have Ad Statum Perspicuum

I also have prototype metal admission cards for the Peabody-Ozymandias Traveling Circus. They are different colors than the ones that were released as part of the lettered/traycased edition, an oversized hardcover advanced reader copy of Freakshow from Pocket Books, a copy of "The Mammoth Book of Stephen" where he contributed a letter, a copy of Framed with the very short story "ICU", and a bunch of other obscure appearances in magazines, etc.

...an oversized hardcover advanced reader copy of Freakshow from Pocket Books...

Whoa! Hardcover? I've never even seen one of those.

I think that calls for a pic! Sounds awesome.

I was shocked when I found it on Ebay a couple years ago. It is oversized and looks like it was bound in hardcover sometime after the Pocketbook ARC pages were produced. You signed the title page.

I have no memory. Pic, please

I have a few copies of the whispers press version of the tomb. One in just about perfect condition that is very special to me. Also, my holy grail only bc of the time I spent searching for a signed and decent condition copy was the haunted air gauntlet press edition. Got help from someone very special for that and a few others. I also have a shit ton of every version of the whole series and AC series. Got a few and very good and low prices like a few night world copies.
