Asbestos Firestarter


How do you keep your copy of Firestarter safe from Charlie? After all, one wrong look from her could send your entire Stephen King collection up in smoke. Well, Abe Books is here to help.

I know, you've been loking for that asbestos copy of Firestarter -- right? Without it, your collection just isn't the same.

Fire may have been one of mankind's greatest innovations, but what it giveth in warmth, light and cooking, it taketh away in power and destruction. Without a doubt, fire is a book's natural enemy. Nothing gives a red-blooded bibliophile the creeps more than the mention of book burning. Which, perhaps, is why Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 strikes such a responsive chord among book lovers. The task of protecting your books from fire (along with light, moisture, silverfish, and shelf-wear) can be quite vexing, which is why books like these are so amazing.
The Fine Books Company of Rochester, Michigan has bundled together the complete fireproof science fiction collection; limited first edition copies of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and Stephen King's Firestarter, both bound in an asbestos material. Not even fireman Guy Montag himself could easily burn these babies (not that he would want to, having finally discovered the joy of reading...).
.
The asbestos Fahrenheit 451 edition was limited to 200 copies, all signed by Bradbury, and the copies of Firestarter, signed by King, were a limited lettered edition of only 26 copies making this combined set quite a rarity indeed. http://www.abebooks.com/books/bradbury-fahrenheit-451-king-firestarter/asbestos-science-fiction.shtml

the price. . . $31,810. But hey, shipping is only 8 bucks, okay! Sure, that's a lot of money, but think about it -- you won't lose this investment in a house fire. By the way, my wife already said no way.
