[fredthe3rd]

Quicker to tell you what I don't own: Needful Things and Tommyknockers. Had a clear out a while back, got rid of a load of books ("What are they? Trophies?") and they were the only King books I could bring myself to chuck out (well, give to charity)

[fushingfeef]

Too big to list. I have all the books that have been made available to the general public without going to speciality presses.

[king family fan]

I too have to many to list. But most say never have enough.

[Shasta]

I have at least one of everything.

Multiples of the Gunslinger because I give them out like Halloween candy.

What I'm working on right now is my first edition collection.

[Ragan]

As Fred said, it's easier to say what I don't have. I own nearly all of his books.

[Autumn Gust]

You all will think I'm terrible but I always give away my Stephen King books after reading them. (They aren't first editions and certainly not signed!) I pick up his works at used book stores, thrift stores, and Friends of the Library sales. When I'm done with a book, I donate it and put it back in circulation so someone else can buy it. If I ever want to read a certain book again, I just rebuy it used. One exception, however: I keep all of the Dark Tower books, as well as the DT graphic novels.

I don't own as many King books as a lot of people on the message boards. A lot of my reading has been via audiobook. I have maybe 15 to 20 King books, but that includes a signed Under the Dome. I have 2 sets of the first cycle of 7 DT graphic novels. I was gonna give a set to my now former son-in-law, but the way things turned out, I kept both sets.

Nothing at all wrong with spreading the love! Personally, there is no way I could wait until something got to a used store!! I typically get stuff the day it comes out.

[prufrock21]

Half the ourve. I am now finishing 11/23/63, which--not suprisingly--just blew me away.

[bobledrew]

Everything but Cujo, the Plant, and Cycle of the Werewolf. Happy Hallowe'en!

[doowopgirl]

I actually have everything. I am proud to say this now includes the DT series. Being of a gluttonous nature I recently started downloading e stories. Mostly because they come out in magazines we don't get in Ireland and I just have to have them.

[blunthead]

I do not have Nightmares in the Sky, Secret Windows, and Stephen King Goes to the Movies. However, way too many of those I have I have yet to read.

[Ragan]

Of those, I don't have Nightmares in The Sky (never heard of it, actually), but I do have the others.

[blunthead]

Of those, I don't have Nightmares in The Sky (never heard of it, actually), but I do have the others.Maybe it doesn't qualify as an sK book, but I want it! :smile2:

Gasp!

[Cowboy]

I met with a client the other day on my new job. We met at her house and I noticed a massive King collection. She had every book in first run and it was beautiful. Needless to say, we hit it off well and she is a great person and a great fan.

[GNTLGNT]

Maybe it doesn't qualify as an sK book, but I want it! :smile2:

...it is a beautiful book...find a way to include it in your collection...

Totally agree, GNTLGNT. I was blown away by photographs, and as always, Sai King's word added the final touch.

Trick or Treat? :laugh:

[Shasta]

Can I have her address and the hours she isn't home?

Kidding. Kidding.

[tmac61]

I had everything published up until May of 2010, then a flood destroyed my entire book collection. I'm rebuilding it slowly, but I still have some titles to reaquire.

Yet another reason I need to take the plundge (no pun intended) and get my books insured.

I think someone is trying to tell me something and I am not listening.

[JellybeanJay]

All the ones that I do have are HCs and I tend to have multiple copies (2 EE, 2 DT5, 2 N&D). There are a few I am missing, Cycle of the Werewolf, The Colorado Kid and On Writing to name a few.

[kingricefan]

The only ones I don't have are Six Stories and the original versions of The Plant.

Shasta, please do get your collection insured asap. You never know what could happen. I used to have Farmers and they required you to have the collection professionally looked at for value (which is quite costly) but the company I have now doesn't require that, it's just added into the value of 'contents'. I do recommend that you take pics of everything you have, even going as far as opening up any books you may have that are autograghed so you can prove that they were signed. Also, keep a list and/or copies of receipts to prove what the purchase prices were.

[Vikkimowse]

I own all of them. Every single one, including all the Bachman books, which I purchased separately, as individual paperbacks, before his true identity was even known. Then I have the collection of the "Bachman Books." The one with all of the books in one big large paperback. I even have four copies of "The Stand" because I've read the darn thing so many times, I messed up the first three copies. I started my collection way back in the very eary 80's. And have been adding to it since. I'm very proud of my King collection!

Oh boy. Okay. I'm doing it this weekend.

I've gone as far as finding out what they're all worth then stopped. I am going to do it this weekend. I am.

Thanks for the advice on taking pictures, especially of the signed ones. I will definitely do that.

As far as receipts go I think it may be too late for that but I will keep them going forward.

Thanks for the motivation!

[Jojo87]

The list is long, but most of his books that has come out translated you
can find in my bookcase.

[guido tkp]

at least one copy of each and everyone...everything from the dead zone on is first edition hardcover, mostly trade editoins.

i have a few limited run stuff...the first four DT books, desperation, and cycle of the werewolf: as far as i know , all of the special editions are the more basic trade first editions: i have no signed editins or really spiffy, high-end editions.

i've read dt1 5 times, dt2 4 times, dt3 3, dt 4 2: each re-read just before the next vol. appeared...the mist 4 times...
salems lot three times...the shining, carrie, the dead zone, the stand, misery, different seasons, rage, the long walk and the running man twice each...all since i read my first back in '76-'77: salems lot, in paperback

i do not have that sci-fi paperback book often attributed to king...had a copy, believed the man when he said he didn't write it...got rid of it...somedays, i wish i still had it...just in case

[Ammb96]

Okay, after reading all of the other posts on here, I actually feel bad about saying this. But, I only have 10 Stephen King books right now. A few months ago my sister challenged me to read all of his works so, I am just beginning my collection. The books I have are as follows in order of reading them:
1. The Shining
2. Under The Dome
3. 11/22/63
4. On Writing
And then the ones I just recently acquired are:
5. Four Past Midnight
6.Bag of Bones
7.Carrie
8. Gerald's Game
9. The Tommyknockers
10. Dolores Claiborne

[Shasta]

Okay, after reading all of the other posts on here, I actually feel bad about saying this.

Don't feel bad! Just think of all of the fun you'll have collecting!

[Banjo Kazooie]

I own: It, The Stand (The Complete & Uncut), The Long Walk, Insomnia, Dreamcatcher, Under the Dome, Carrie, Desperation,. The Shining, On Writing, Firestarter, The Dead Zone, Pet Sematary , Salem's Lot, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, The Dark Half, Dolores Claiborne, Gerald's Game, 11/22/63, Skeleton Crew, Duma Key, The Running Man, The girl who loved tom gordon, night shift, bag of bones, green mile, just after sunset, four past midnight, everything's eventual, the tommyknockers, danse macabre, full dark no stars, the dark tower: II and III, and cell. So 35 books. I don't own Needful Things, although I've read that, and I've read 23/35 of the Stephen King books I own. I have a lot to catch up on, which is weird, because I thought I was more than halfway done. But no complaints here! :upside:

[samhain]

Too big to list. I have all the books that have been made available to the general public without going to speciality presses.

Yep....same here.
Also, I haven't picked up or read any of the e-books or short stories released within the past few years. I'm patiently waiting for the next inevitable short story collection (which I'm hoping will include):

Throttle
Ur
Premium Harmony
Herman Wouk is Still Alive
Mile 81
The Dune
In The Tall Grass
A Face in the Crowd
Batman and Robin Have an Altercation

(and, even though I already own them, I'd like to see 'Morality', 'Under The Weather' and 'The Little Green God of Agony' as part of the collection. You know, to have them all "under one roof")

Reading this post brings back fond memories of my early years collecting SK books. After I discovered him I couldn't get enough. I remember all the wonderful hours spent reading and how excited I'd be every time a new book would come out. As I've heard others on here say, I feel sort of envious of you and all that you have left to discover.

[Tim D.]

I have discovered just today that I can't find my copy of Cycle of the Werewolf anywhere. Perhaps it has crossed over to Roland's world and awaits me there.

[ChristineB]

I have all the 1/1 trade editions minus The Plant (which really isn't a trade edition and not finished) and the Cycle of the Werewolf 1/1 trade, looking for a beat up copy, I couldn't live with myself if I had a nice copy of it and let the cover fade. Don't have Six Stories only because it isn't the 1/1 for those stories and it is way out of my comfort zone money wise.

[BoogieWoogie]

I only own the following:


It
Bag of Bones
Hearts in Atlantis
Under the Dome
11/22/63
Desperation
The Shining
Misery
Different Seasons
The Skeleton Crew
Salem's Lot
Everything's Eventual
Duma Key


My collection isn't as impressive as others here, but that's only because my money goes to paying my college tuition. I have plans to expand my collection and add multiple copies, first editions, etc. Once I'm not out several thousand dollars every 5 months. For now I make do with my "starter set" and I'm happy with the small collection I've put together over the last two years.

[not_nadine]

You are missing out, Vickilynn. Books over the movies any day. Every time. :smile2:

[mustangclaire]

Took this pic of some bookshelves my husband built. The whole of the bottom shelf, bar one or two, are all Stephen King:grinning:

Hmmm... there's some books there by other authors. Explain yourself!

[Draga]

I used to own about 40 King's books, but one year ago during the night my boyfriend was having a schizofrenic crisis and expelled me from home, on the go I could grab very few things, some clothes and the books that my friends from the SKMB gave me, they're my treasures, so I only have those at the moment. My boyfriend trashed the rest of my books, clothes, things, etc. Once he recovered he realized what he has done and decided to bought me an e-book reader, I know it's not the same, but at least it would be easier to take it with me if he has another crisis. From the books I have at the moment I particularly treasure The Stand because I think this book brings me good luck, I also have it with me under lucky and weird circumstances. I also lent On Writing to a teacher/friend from England and she hasn't brought it back to me, I haven't said anything to her because I think it would be rude.

I have a Kindle e reader and I love it. I don't have a lot of room for books and with an e reader you can have a lot of books in a small amount of space. I hope you like it.

[Ubasti]

I have at least one copy of everything that's been published. I am missing Firestarter and The Shinning in hard cover and a couple other titles in first edition.

[dejolane]
