Yesterday I received my copy of the deluxe 2-volume traycased edition of "Knowing Darkness: Artists Inspired by Stephen King" published by Centipede Press. No one in the house believed that such as large box contained just a single book. Here's the unboxing of this massive tome. The only problem now, is where to store this monstrosity.

From Centipede Press (http://centipedepress.com/art/skart.html):
This 448-page art book features loads of color and black & white artwork that has directly or indirectly illustrated the writings of Stephen King. The work has been culled from the last thirty-five years, and includes most all of the trade hardcover and mass market paperback editions, and virtually all of the artwork featured in the limited editions that have been published.
For most of the art, we have worked from either originals or first-generation transparencies, so most of the work is displayed with a brilliance that has never been seen. Plus, there are several pages of fold-out views, including several by Michael Whelan, Ned Dameron, J.K. Potter, John Jude Palencar, Stephen Gervais, and others.
The text, written by King critic George Beahm, looks back at 34 years of King in print. It provides a detailed look at the writer and his life, supplemented with interviews with Michael Whelan, Bernie Wrightson, Drew Struzan, John Cayea, Dave Christiansen, and many others.
The traycased edition is signed by over 33 artists, including Michael Whelan, Bernie Wrightson, Mark Ryden, Dave McKean, Rick Berry, and many more. The deluxe is housed in a large traycase that holds the book, a second book of oversize extra prints.

Update: I found a case to store it in. Details @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dez03JiN6F0

Gena Bos of the Fairfax County Public Library introduces us to "Listen to the Wind : the story of Dr. Greg and 'Three Cups of Tea.'" In 1993, while climbing one of the world's most difficult peaks, Mortenson became lost and ill, and eventually found aid in the tiny Pakistani village of Korphe. He vowed to repay his generous hosts by building a school; his efforts have grown into the Central Asia Institute, which has since provided education for 25,000 children.
