Oh, Penny, I see you're as obsessed, er, of course I mean devoted to DS as to have DS stuff displayed in your house. Some might say (and actually have said) that my home office is a veritable DS museum with shelves of DS material displayed behind the glass doors of two bookcases, similar to your open shelves displays. And I have two NoDS posters on display, the one sheet B Poster framed and on a wall, and the 14X36 A Poster Insert Card (it's one of only two versions of that design that shows the entire art work) framed and on a door. But then often GMTA when it comes to their DS stuff. [easter_wink] [easter_cheesy]
And you have some great stuff on offer for fans for this giveaway. I totally agree that Warren's Oddsson's art work and writings are so worth owning. And while the summaries in the concordances no longer hold the same worth that they did before DS was completely available on home video (back when the concordances were essential to own), many of them still have worth when it comes to their art work and essays.

I am indeed obses...I mean, devoted! haha.
I'd love to see pics of your DS collection sometime! Those original NoDS posters sound incredibly cool! I only have a couple of repro posters for the two films, but no originals.
Here's a pic of the "Dark Shadows Wing" of my office/monster room:

I have the DS books and the giant Warren Barnabas poster (framed) in my guest bedroom/library room.
I love Warren's artwork and essays. It's such a shame that he died so young. He was incredibly talented.

Happy 57 DS! Here's to Collinwood and All Those Who Dwell in the Great House!
Celebrating because... I CHOOSE to do so!

I certainly agree that the late Warren Oddsson was both an outstanding artist and writer; Warren’s illustrations in the DS Concordances were absolutely superb. And, Warren contributed several thought-provoking and
insightful essays on the time paradox implications of both the 1970 Parallel Time storyline and the 1840 storyline.
Warren also displayed a wry wit, when, on commenting on Barnabas and Julia’s tendency to be repeatedly overheard while they were formulating plans to deal with Cassandra, Nicholas Blair, Gerard Stiles, etc., Warren wrote that, “Barnabas and Julia were often as subtle as napalm.” [easter_rolleyes] [easter_shocked]
[easter_wink]
Sadly, I understand that Warren died at a very young age. No doubt, Warren would have been one of the most respected and popular posters here on the Dark Shadows Forums if he had lived.
Requiem aeternam, Mr. Oddsson.

The retro station I was listening to on the way home this morning mentioned DS's premier, Barnabas, and that she knew of some folks that named their dogs Barnabas.
Nice collection PD!

Your dog is so cute. [easter_smiley]
And congrats to the winner - though why do I suspect they might beg off on staying in those offered accomodations? [easter_cheesy]

Thanks, MB! Krispy followed me into the room, so she was immediately drafted into video participation. [easter_cheesy]
I sent the prize package out to the winner, but have yet to hear back about their required overnight "vacation stay." ;)
