Hello. My name is Lenny, I live in Southern California. I know everyone collects differently, I collect 1st edition hardcovers and read the paperbacks. How do you?
I am also greatly interested in Theatre, cinema, and (special fx) makeup. I also live with end stage kidney failure. Feel free to message and/or say hi!
I love this site!
Hello everyone.

Re: Hello everyone.
WELCOME LENNY!
Here is a little something you may want to add to your collection as they tie-in two things you seem to like.
There are two 1st editions.
1. GRANDE ILLUSIONS JAN 1983 with nothing about the Stephen King introduction on the cover. $12.95 cover price'
2. BIZARRO! 1983 with Kings name on the cover with a $9.95 cover price.
The strange part is the BIZARRO! book states Previously published as Grande Illusions 1983 & is $3 cheaper then the true 1st.

Re: Hello everyone.
Actually, yes CHEROKEEBRUCE, I have been looking for a first and good condition "Grande Illusions I & II". I know I've seen the "Bizarro" through the years. Now my interest is piqued.CHEROKEEBRUCE wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:44 pm WELCOME LENNY!

Re: Hello everyone.
Sorry no.At 79 I am still a collector not a seller. I see by your avatar you must also be a Carrie fan Do you have the Playbill? From what I understand the opening night was the only color cover.
LOS ANGELES HERALD EXAMINER MAY 14 1988.
ALSO THE 53 PRINTING WAS A PLAY TIE-IN.
They must have rushed to get a 54 out.

Re: Hello everyone.
I'm a huge theatre nerd. Unfortunately, I don't have anything from the original broadway production. Except bootlegs. I've always been close to getting something. A playbill (in color or b/w), a program and a poster, but alas not... yet! Yes, I think early on a lot of shows did that, the opening night was the only color playbill whilst the rest were b/w. Or, something to that effect.
The closest I have in my collection are:

Re: Hello everyone.
In that case you might want to pick up a copy of this.
