This came in the other day, the new deluxe collectors edition of LOTR. Lot of cool extras.

Now originally it was limited to 6,000 copies but I hear they increased the print run - not sure what the final number is though.

That looks very nice. I love the slipcase edge and cutout. Congrats!

This came in this week from Midworld Press. 1st book from the press, that I bought, and I think they did a nice production.

Those Across the River by Christopher Buelman

Looks nice, I'm not familiar with the title, is it worth a read?

[Ben Staad]

I thought it was an okay read but it didn't blow me out of the water. I will say I haven't read anything in the last few years that has really gripped me. Maybe I'm in a book funk. IDK.

What really drew me to this edition was the artwork from David Palumbo. I think it's great.

I can relate. I've been doing a lot of audio books during the pandemic, to listen to while exercising outside - which means a lot of walking or jogging. While there's been a lot of "meh" stuff there were a couple that rose to the top of my list if anyone is looking for a read, or listen

• Ready Player One

• American Gods

Alright my friends, totally non Stephen King - but hey I'm in the non-SK section and I had to show off a little bit.
