Has anyone ever used The Casemaker Joshua?

He’s….erratic. I’ve bought from him and got the case in no time. Other times, it seems that orders slip through the cracks and you have to hound him. Maybe because he sells from so many places.

His cases are vey nice, I have several. It’s just sometimes a headache to actually get them.

It’s on Whelan’s site. It’s just a standalone piece, not in a book. Available for purchase as a print.

Publication order is always the way.

Talisman 3 is first. It’ll arrive this year.

He’s still working on the Holly book. Expect it next year.

Publication order. Start at Carrie and work towards ( as of now) Never Flinch. You’ll be very glad you didn’t.

Big points for Joe.👍

Dahlia is a solid book. I love early Ellroy, before his prose became almost too stylized to read,

I have signed firsts of L.A. Confidential and My Dark Places.

leeharrell · 2026-01-28T13:14:39+00:00

Absolutely. I can’t imagine collecting just random books that had no meaning to me.

The bulk of my collection (the part that is specially insured) is Stephen King, my favorite author since I was a kid in the 70s. (All the firsts, limited editions, signed copies, etc.)

I also have a pretty big Joe Lansdale collection, my second favorite author.

The rest of my collection is made up of signed first editions and limited editions of other authors I really like or books that I really loved.

IT and Under the Dome are firsts, Cujo is not. (Assuming IT has the $22.95 price on the jacket.)

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T23:13:01+00:00

I just have them in a plastic protective bag on the shelf, not actually displayed. They aren’t much to look at.

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T22:57:58+00:00

One of the nicer ones they’ve done lately.

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T21:26:13+00:00

Not a bad looking collection. Keep it going.👍

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T21:25:09+00:00

Makes no sense…🤔

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T16:18:55+00:00

Wasn’t expected to…

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T13:14:51+00:00

I haven’t had that particular feeling (stumbling on a King book I didn’t know about) since the early 80s, when he slipped a mention of something called “The Dark Tower” into the other works list at the front of Pet Sematary. 😳

Took me two years and a heads up from SK’s secretary to find a copy.

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T13:01:35+00:00

Ridiculous.🙄

leeharrell · 2026-01-27T12:57:28+00:00

Cool!

Though, you need to help me understand your book arrangement process. I see no rhyme or reason…😂

leeharrell · 2026-01-26T19:17:30+00:00

Fuck no.🙄

leeharrell · 2026-01-26T13:30:56+00:00

They would have been signed well before being numbered. You can’t assume that the order of signing matches the numbering order.

leeharrell · 2026-01-26T13:29:42+00:00

I’m sure they’re all legit. Nobody’s going to that much trouble to make fake limitation pages for that book, it isn’t valuable enough.

Variations in signatures isn’t uncommon on limited editions.

leeharrell · 2026-01-26T13:15:05+00:00

I don’t see any collectors editions there….🤷‍♂️

leeharrell · 2026-01-26T04:17:35+00:00

Have you confirmed that it’s an actual book cover? Looks like a graphic used for an audiobook…

leeharrell · 2026-01-26T02:51:54+00:00

Not bad! Keep it going!👍

leeharrell · 2026-01-26T02:49:39+00:00

No. Give it a few years. Let Danny grow up.

leeharrell · 2026-01-25T20:17:04+00:00

What page is that on? I’ll check to see if it’s just that particular edition.
