More Treasures From Vincent Price Collectors Revealed!

The Vincentennial display at the Sheldon Galleries is so small -- a mere 750 square feet -- that there wasn't room to display even a fair sample of all the artifacts the Vincent Price collectors have assembled. Rick Squires has posted photos of many of his treasures online at the Vincent Price Exhibit.

After being interviewed for this week's feature story "Back From the Undead," collector Robert Taylor sent along photos of Price-iana that didn't make it into the exhibit:

Two of Price's art books. The chewed-up spines were, Taylor believes, the work of Price's dog Joe.

The culprit, as depicted on the cover of the book Price later wrote about him. (Spoiler: Joe dies at the end. What else do you expect from a book about a dog?)
