Your latest Stephen King related purchase...

[BlackThorn]

W00T! I just found a Bookland, that sells used books! I thought those went extinct in this state! Bookland went belly up in my hometown in the early 90's, I think it was. I was real happy to see the Bookland awning. Borders books and music is great, but no used books.

But anyways, I grabbed a used copy of Nightmares & Dreamscapes for $3.80 after taxes. I didn't have any books on me, so it really made my day. I haven't read this collection yet either, and I've avoided all but one of the Nightmares & Dreamscapes TV series so far, because I refuse to watch something before I read the story if at all possible. Well, especially where King is concerned.

Anyways, what's the latest Stephen King related purchase you've made? Books, DVDs, magazines, comics... a T-shirt with his picture on it... anything! Whatever the most recent SK purchase you've made is...

Whadja get?

[BlackEye]

I got the hard covers of DT6 and DT7 for $8 each, a total of $16. I thought that was a good deal.

[Luli]

I bought 'The Talisman' and 'Black House' on eBay - both books HC 1st ed. Should be getting them sometime next week! :tongue:

[Raven4404]

My most recent purchase was the third book in the series of DT. I can't wait to get started on it after I finish this Martha Grimes book.

[pattigee]

Duma Key for me I paid just under £10 for it (about $20) in ASDA part of the Wal Mart group. I buy all of his books in HB these days as soon as they come out. I have most of his books I think. The early stuff I bought second hand cos didn't have a lot of cash in those days but I am gradually replacing them.

[killyerdarlings]

Why, Blaze and Duma Key, as well as a better edition of Everything's Eventual than the one I had. Now to give the old one to someone . . . :smile2:

[donna1982]

Pet Cemetery, just today actually!

[Reesespieces]

Last week, The Stand, unabridged hard cover...it's freaking HUGE!!!! and cost $40... Someone borrowed my softcover and never returned it, so i treated myself. In a few days I hope to get the next edition of the LRH comic, regular cover and variant.

[Spideyman]

At a yard sale- found 6 SK paperbacks for $1.00 total!

[Soulgotha]

I've recently gotten back into Stephen King, and pretty hardcore I might add. This past week I purchased dvd's of The Graveyard Shift and The Mist. Within the past two weeks I picked up paperbacks of From a Buick 8, The Stand (Which I'm reading now), The Dead Zone, It, and Salems Lot.

[the gardener]

I just purchased DUMA KEY a few weeks ago from Barnes and Noble and they or somebody put an RFID tracking device right onto the opening fly sheet paper of this wonderful book.

I was going to try to find exactly that same book Reesespieces but I got sidetracked by DUMA KEY which has been a fantastic read from this old SK lover of his works.

I'll be finding it this week when I go back into our big city again. or rather, big town.

[tiger67]

well, i just bought 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill, I guess that's kind of related

[Haunted]

At a yard sale- found 6 SK paperbacks for $1.00 total!

NOW THAT IS WHAT A CALL THE BARGAIN OF THE YEAR. YAHOO----
ENJOY---ENJOY

[Shasta]

Secretary of Dreams Volume One.

[m83nghtmre]

My most recent purchase was his latest book Duma Key. I paid like 20 somethin dollars for a new hardback edition when it came out.

[Brody's Mom]

Duma Key.

[pepino]

Saturday I went to a used book store and purchased Danse Macabre, Cujo, The Tommyknockers, and The Dark Half. The bookstore would take popular fiction for in-store credit so it only costed $5.00.

[bookworm101]

I'm replacing some loaned books that were never returned. I just got The Talisman hardback first edition used, and Nightmares in the Sky used. I got them from Abebooks. very happy with them.

[FaithsJock]

I bought DT5 and DT7 hardcovers for $1 each at the library's used book sale :biggrin2:

[Gwenivere]

I pulled my hat down low, put on my dark glasses and ventured into Walmart:oo: last week
(I'm not a fan of Walmart) for a prescription refill. While I was waiting I browsed the book section. I couldn't resist Duma Key HB for $16.95. After waiting 20 minutes in the checkout line behind screaming William, age 2, and in front of Mrs. Run her Buggy into my Ankles I was ready to drop it and run. But hey I'm a fan right and this was going to save me 3 bucks! Finally I make my way to the cash register and the total comes to $21.34. "What happened to $16.95 that is printed on the cover?" I ask the teenage cashier with a safety pin in his nose and more metal in his mouth than I had when I had braces. He very sweetly and patiently explained that I now had to go to Customer Service for price discrepancies. There I stand in another line, at least in this one I was entertained by a man who was arguing with security about someone who was stalking him in the store. Reaching the counter I received my $3 refund from a smiling Asian woman who spoke no English. 45 mins later I walk out with my very own hardback Duma Key. I'm either a dedicated fan with the patience of a saint or a nutball with too much time on my hands that day. I can't wait for the first bite as soon as the time is right to start it!!:biggrin2:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi

Good story, Gwen, and you've a marvellous novel in front of you. Woo Hoo.

And Book, I recently re-read The Talisman the Black House back-to-back which added to the enjoyment of both IMO.

Some great stories of bargains etc here - don't you feel even better when you've got a bargain?

Long days and pleasant nights

[miamiheat]

Hmm, preordered He is Legend from Gauntlet Press, before that had purchased a signed copy of Duma Key in February directly from the Sarasota Barnes & Noble store over the phone (just lucky to call them at the right time!) :biggrin2:

Thanks,

I'm sure I will. :wink2:

[Shasta]

i just bought a first edition Christine and a new bookcase because my old SK books were being crushed against each other. We certainly can't have that!

[collisionist]

I'm going on vacation up north soon, and the hotel where we happen to be staying is located next to a whole bunch of used bookstores! Score! I think you all know what I am going to be shopping for

[mojomofo]

I heard about the pop-up for "The Girl who loved Tom Gordon", and immediately rushed out to Barnes & Noble to find it. No luck. So I drove to Borders. No again. None of the used book stores around had one either. By this point, it is a quest. I MUST find this book. :grr:

So I went to Amazon, and purchased a new copy from one of their approved sellers. Didn't pay shipping, because I found some other stuff I couldn't live without. So the purchase price for the book was $ 2.80, with a expected ship time of 14 days. So two weeks pass, nothing. I wait another week, still nothing. So I email the seller, and get no response. After 21 business days, I email Amazon, and tell them I am unable to reach the seller and have not received my books. No response. :mad::mad2:

I was at the point of total depression, having wasted all two dollars and a couple of minutes of time, when what's this? An email from the seller- they had sold the book to someone else, but went out and bought another copy which they would then send to me. I was so flippin happy just to hear something I didn't even think of chewing them out.

So 7 weeks after my initial order, I finally receive the book. And I am very impressed. It was definitely worth the wait. It is by far the best pop-up I have ever seen. Even my husband (who is literate, but grudgingly) thought it was awesome. So it is now on my top shelf, one of my little victories. :D

[Kim L.]

This weekend, will go to the comic-book store for DT #5 of the 2nd series and The Stand sketchbook.

[Dana Jean]

The Art of Darkness by Douglas Winter. Just got it today.

[JohnDalglish]

Even my husband (who is literate, but grudgingly)

Congratulations!! I have never heard of this book before...what a torture it must have been to wait so long to get it.:smile2:

[LongTallSally]

I just ordered Cycle of the Werewolf from www.abebooks.com about a half an hour ago. Hopefully it arrives in the next seven days or so. :smile2: I still have to order Secret Windows at some point.

[Tashaka]

At a yard sale- found 6 SK paperbacks for $1.00 total!

:eek::eek: Wat sort of eejit sells SK books for that price.....let me at dem....:biggrin2:

[marew1]

:smile2: The Gingerbread Girl audio book.

[mojomofo]

Thanks Dana J., John, Luli. I still look at the book and stand a little taller. :biggrin2:

[BlackThorn]

The last two eps of 'The Long Road Home', about a week ago.

Man, did I ever love that part on the mutations of Midworld. I loved seeing the calf with eight legs, no skin, extra eyes, and the stomach on the outside. Forget euthanasia, get that thing some rubber skin and throw it back on the street like a good moral american.

Right? *wicked grin*

[Luli]

I just received my copy of 'The Stand Sketchbook'. It looks great! Has anyone else checked out this sketchbook?

[Speedy2]

:eek::eek: Wat sort of eejit sells SK books for that price.....let me at dem....:biggrin2:

Tashaka, my sentiments exactly. My mother "attempted" to sell some of my old SK books at a garage sale. Lets just say they have been rescued and safely returned to their proper home on my bookshelf.

My most recent technical purchase would be Just After Sunset (did I get that right?:oops:). I pre-order whenever possible. My most recent purchase would be The Gingerbread Girl.

[Moderator]

That's the correct book title.

[Speedy2]

That's the correct book title.

Thank you.

The stand sketchbook(not a purchase), plus i seed a huge banner at SDCC this year it was awesome....i think that i ran into someone when i noticed it...

[elevelyn]

last week i got Thinner, Four Past Midnight and Skeleton Crew at my local 2nd Hand Bookshow, got them all for around €15, books are expensive here!!!!

[Luli]

I agree! A couple of months ago it was on the news that one of the main reasons why people don't read or don't read as much as they used to is because books are too expensive. When I buy a new book (hardcover) I pay 30 euros or more. Even paperbacks are expensive!

[hipmamajen]

I got the audiobook Black House from audible.com. I have it in hardback and I've read it before, but this way I can listen while I'm walking :)

[Eleese of Gilead.]

Duma Key, soft cover.

I just had Cycle of the Werewolf come in the mail a couple of days ago.

Yesterday I found a newly opened used book store with tons of SK books, including lots of first editions. I'm going to be going back there after each payday, methinks...

My last purchase was "The Gingerbread Girl".

[BC Barlow]

On Sunday, I swung by a Peddler's Mall and picked up a paperback of Skeleton Crew.

My Local Library is currently being renovated, and they need to clear away some books, so they were selling books, and I happened to get 5 Stephen King Books for $2.00!
Insomnia, Salem's Lot, Four Past Midnight, The Stand, and The Talisman

[KatieScarlet]

I would have had to wait a couple of weeks for my local library to get DT4 back in the building. Not an option at the time. Had to have it right then! Paid full price for it, but still VERY happy with the purchase. (got the rest of the DT series from my local :))

Long days and pleasant nights

[LongTallSally]

Hmm.... about a week or so ago, I got a first edition of Dark Tower number 7 for a buck at the library. It's in almost mint condition. I'm still gawking at it every time I walk by it.

[Firebird]

I bought a VERY used first edition of The Stand for a buck at a used bookstore. I already have it but I couldn't resist having a hard back version.

[Wylde06]

Just bought the Dark Tower box set books 1-4.

Friday I lost my mind, went to the Borders site and ordered all 7 Dark Tower books. I should have them by tomorrow:)

Hi,

Disagree about the lost mind.

Eminently sensible, I would have said.

AWSS.

Long days and pleasant nights

[smjohn]

I can't wait to start!

[Kim L.]

Friday I lost my mind, went to the Borders site and ordered all 7 Dark Tower books. I should have them by tomorrow:)

You FOUND your mind! Enjoy the long, strange trip.

[Shasta]

Pop-up The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Yay! And the first edition of Four Past Midnight with the gold SK on the front. I already had the one without! Partners complete!!!!

[LOTUS]

Friday I lost my mind, went to the Borders site and ordered all 7 Dark Tower books. I should have them by tomorrow:)

You haven't lost your mind.I've done the exact same thing,and the lady at the bookshop looked at me a bit funny!But I got 5% discount.:biggrin2:Haven't started the journey yet,because I'm busier in the summer and I want to have time to read all the books immediately one after another.

Anyway,the last SK book I bought was Blaze a week ago.:biggrin2:

[bookworm101]

pre-ordered "Just after sunset" does that count?

[RANGERWIFE]

pre-ordered "Just after sunset" does that count?

Hope it counts, I just pre-ordered it as well.

[joiseyal]

Besides 2 copies each of The Long Road Home (with backer boards and plastic bags to put them in) plus 2 copies of The Endworld Almanac (with same said boards and bags) I also purchased a ARC of Lisey's Story and the UK softcover edition of Cycle of the Werewolf. And still on the lookout for more.

[henrythomasgirl]

Hi,

Discreet brown-nosing advised.

Long days and pleasant nights

HAHA!!! I know!!

I'm torn as to whether to pr-order Just After Sunset or not. Is it gonna be released only in hardback in Nov.? That'll affect my decision TREMENDOUSLY!!!

I didn't actually BUY it (well, I bought the iTunes season pass) but episoes 11-20 of "N" just downloaded into my iTunes!!!!:grinning:

[interplanetjanet]

I'm not sure if this counts but I've been wearig my new t-shirts from cafe press (not at the same time of course :smile2:) 1 says: "READ KING" and the other "STEPHEN KING RULES" o.k. I know the last one is a little sophomoric for a 42 year old mom but it makes me laugh. My next purchase is the t-shirt with the DT key, gun and rose on it.

[Spideyman]

Hope it counts, I just pre-ordered it as well.


It most certainly counts. Been on preorder since announced on the MB.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

About pre-ordering JAS (nice acronym, and all that JAS - 'Showtime', LOL).

When Duma Key was published in the UK there was a really cool keyring given away but you had to ask for it. As I didn't know about it's existence, I didn't know to ask for it, and when I discovered and returned to Waterstones they were unfortunately out of stock (boo).

I wonder if there are any promotional giveaways planned for JAS, and if details of any could be please put on the main site, so we know to make sure we get them?

I realise that this would be difficult, as they would no doubt differ from the US to the UK, and possibly between book chains as well.

Thankee big-big if this could be done, Ms Mod..

Long days and pleasant nights

[Moderator]

I haven't heard of any but I didn't know about the others ahead of time either so will send an email asking if/what they will be using as promotions and get back to you.

[Kahllie]

On Writing. Read it as a library book, and bought the paperback. Still rehashing, while I read "recreational" books.

[Marianne]

A couple of months ago I walked into a very small used book store and found something I've never seen or heard of before. It's a book called Dark Visions. 'An impressive showcase from three masters of the macabre' is what it says on the front. It's stories by a George R.R. Martin, Dan Simmons and....... Stephen King. There are 3 stories by SK - The Reploids, Sneakers & Dedication. I haven't read them yet (shame on me!) but I'll be sure to get back to you all in the What Are You Reading thread when I have.

Have any of you heard of this? If so, have you read them and what did you think? No spoilers please! :oops:

[scary cat]

Needful Things Movie Poster!

[Blazedale2007]

I just picked up ON WRITING from the news stand. and just got THE GIRL WHO LOVED TO GORDON (POP UP BOOK) in the mail.
-King Rocks!

[skimom]

I ordered a copy of 'Salem's Lot' off ebay that purports to be a first edition. It's from an estate, and the executor couldn't say whether it was a book club or not, and frankly I didn't care-it was less than $5, so I got a nice hardback copy of one of my favorite books either way:smile2:.

[Sexy Mcmanbeast]

My Stephen King underwear!!!

No, they don't actually sell those.

Now I have a picture in my head of Stephen King Underoos.

I used to love Underoos. Why don't grownups get cool underwear like that? I want to full on Wonder Woman set, that looks like you're wearing her awesome outfit...

[LongTallSally]

Well, a few hours ago, I checked on www.abebooks.com for Secret Windows and I saw that the number of available copies in Canada dropped from 5 down to 2. I ordered my copy from the better looking dealer. Better rating. It'll be a first edition, of course.

Can't wait until that comes in the mail in a week or two.

[Gallina]

First, it's a book "Four past midnight", a book of DT comics and a T-shirt with the Ka-tet sign - gifts from my dear MB friends.:love:

[Shasta]

I just bought a first edition of Danse Macabre and a first edition of Thinner! Woo-hoo!

[RANGERWIFE]

Recieved CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF yesterday. I bought INSOMNIA and ROSE MADDER today!

[smjohn]

I got my books! (still waiting for #5) but I started DT1 last night...so far so good and I only got thru four pages before I fell asleep, crap. I'm so excited. It's so different than it was when I first tried to read it when I was a teenager. It's amazing how our personal views, likes, and dislikes change as we age.

[henrythomasgirl]

Bought It and The Stand last night!!!!!!!!

ON WRITING ARRIVES THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *excited*

[Drawn to Ka-tet]

Friday I picked up Dreamcatcher on CD at a used bookstore for 15 bucks. I am so excited to listen to it.

[Redneck_in_NY]

Two days ago, Duma Key. New book store in town and there was a sign in the window that said "80% off". I got my first edition, hard cover for $7.99. Woo Hoo. :biggrin2:

[Shasta]

I just got my Penguin edition of Umney's Last Case. And I bought a first edition on Danse Macabre (did I already say that?) as well as My Pretty Pony. Yay! Collection is getting there!

[Cowboy]

Just picked up a first run The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordan and The Stand....both Hardback, at a used book store.

That's awesome!

[Gris]

Just ordered a signed by Artist (Hale) copy of Drawing of the Three from Donald M. Grant Publishers. YAY!

On the more mundane side of things, Went to a flea market this past Sunday and found 1st/1st HCs of Bag of Bones, The Dark Half, and Everything's Eventual for $2.00 each. Which is good because most of my HCs are From the SK Library Book club and not true 1st/1sts

[ItaliaQueen]

My last Sk purchases have been The Stand, Cujo, Firestarter ( currently reading)

Good one, Rose!

Ain't thrift stores great?

Long days and pleasant nights

[Lilies13]

Got Secret Window, Dreamcatcher and Green Mile DVDs and each for Five bucks ! Pretty sweet deal! Plus I get to watch interviews with Stephen king! I love his voice and the way he talks…does it sound like I’m in love?!! Ah he’s just so awesome and intelligent, I admit, I get kinda awestruck.:blush::love:

[interplanetjanet]

I'm going to have to drag the kiddies off to a trift store. I'm getting jealous of everyone finding 1st editions for $2.00.

[moshpitpal]

I have two purchases to discuss.

I have purchased the talisman grant edition, unsigned. It is the original printing in 84 or so. Sorry I don't have the date religiously in my head. I have read unvaluable copies at least three times. I am so excited. The book has cool pictures and I only took it out of the slipcase for a few minutes. It is my crown jewel for King books.


I also got two crimson king eye tattoos on my calves. They look great. Done by a real pro.

[Speedygi81]

Well, I sold my Duma Key Hardcover a few months ago and I just recently bought the paperback version of it.

[jchanic]

I should have the BOMC proof of Misery coming to me by the end of the week.

My last King book I got was the advance UK "Sampler" of Just After Sunset.

John

[Wylde06]

Blaze 1st Edition HC, Insomnia 1st Edition HC, and the Bachman Books

[demorgan]

"DESPERATION" S/L edition....I eyed this book for so long, i had to get it...

[udontlooklykacarny]

Well, I did it. I bought my first audio book..........and LOVED it!!!! Duma Key.
Worth every cent of the 50 bucks it cost me and made the 600 mile jump just a bit shorter.
Am saving my pennies for BOB now and can't wait!
Carny

[REDRUM617]

I just got my Grant Waste Lands portfolio a couple days ago. So far, it's my favorite art work throughout the series so I had to buy it. It looks great!

[Wylde06]

Finally stopped by the used book store that I pass by at least once a week and picked up Wolves of the Calla paperback...would have liked to get the HC but its what they had, and I finished W&G the other night, so I had to get something. And because all I had on me was like 8 dollars, they are holding Bag of Bones (HC 1st) Rose Madder (HC 1st) and Hearts in Atlantis (also HC 1st) for me until I get a chance to go in with a check.

[Commando]

Everything's Eventual, the edition with the 1408 movie cover. I'm so glad that it's been re-released around where I live with that cover, I've actually avoided buying it because of the cover with only black, red and white (a lighthouse is on the front). I can't post urls, so I can't clarify much. I don't know why, but that set just really annoys me. None of them in my King collection!

[Shasta]

The book Water for Elephants. Because I heard about it on the SK message board. Hey, that counts. It does, I swear!!!

[naviboy95]

Tommyknockers - great book.

[Crimdal]

just bought On Writing - A memoir on the craft at powells and I have to say it is an inspiring tale, I know the middle class is generally the biggest class (when we don't have elected officials trying to thin the herd) but still its cool when someone from a similar situation, with a 3000-mile geographical difference, can make a difference globally without using too many crutches on the way. I guess what I mean is every one of your books is a small sense of home.

[txmatt]

N on iTunes

[arista]

A three book paperback set of It, Misery and Eyes of the Dragon.

[RolandEllafy]

I'm going to try tonight (or in the next few days) to go to Barnes and Noble and I want to buy The Rest of the Dark Tower books I need, The Drawing Of The Three, Wolves of The Calla, Song of Susannah, and of course The Dark Tower. I'm half way through The Gunslinger and I need to make sure I will have the whole series to finish!:smile2:

[mstay]

I just bought my Captain Trips comic book!!!! I'm so excited for this series. It's gonna be great.:biggrin2:

[Helene]

Duma key - finished it last weekend :smile2:

[Agincourt Concierge]

Lisey's story...just purchased today. Just got "Treachery" in the mail today too...

[roma]

Went to a yard sale and bought 5 HC books. When I got home, I opened them to find that 4 of them were 1st editions and 1 of them, 1st edition,(Talisman) was an inscribed, signed copy. The book isn't in the greatest shape, but I am so thrilled!!! The books were stuffed in a box and I didn't think in a million years that one of them would be signed!

[Kim L.]

"Captain Trips" and "Treachery" comic books; both wonderful.

[Tenac22]

Whenever I want to buy books I always head to Half-Price Books. I've bought most of the King books that they have there, so I was really happy when on Monday I found Pet Semetary there for two dollars. I also bought Dolores Claiborne for two dollars as well. The most expensive book I bought was seven dollars. So I was happy, the books are so cheap it's almost like stealing.

[betsymae]

Nightmares and Dreamscapes at the library sale, hardback, for $2.

[Maddie]

this would be a couple of huge white tee shirts and black and red markers, I like to make my own Stephen King shirts , and they can actually be horrifying, lol , but mostly I like to scribble his name on them

[Greasemonkey]

I bought a copy of The Mist on DVD a couple of months ago. Oh, and 1408 as well.

[jimwarrennut]

hmmm.....Locke and Key...the comic book...in Sarasota Florida....by Joe

[cindym]

Lisey's Story. I have all of the other novels and am currently reading Duma Key (which is absolutely wonderful, by the way!)

[Phantomking]

The last SK thing I bought was Duma Key..the audio version.

Sorry to say..it was horrible imo...or maybe I'm just spoiled by Frank Mueller.

[Speedy2]

admittedly probably inappropriate;however, my 4 year old lost his copy of Cycle of the Werewolf when we went camping. I had to go on-line and purchase a new copy, along with the movie Silver Bullet. I forgot how freaking gory that movie was. Long story short, found my copy and now he have a new copy of Cycle of the Werewolf.

For those who worry about the content as I am reading, I try to "edit" out the parts that are a little less palatable. Kind of like closing the barn door after the horse is out considering he now watches the movie. Oh well, my bad. I tend to be very open and honest with my son. Have a great evening

[vivazebool]

I just bought a copy of Cell yesterday.

[susanna]

Duma Key paperback. :)

Also, I bought an absolutely adorable silver turtle pendant, lol.

[Wylde06]

Just got my copy of The Regulators from eBay.

...and with like 30+ SK books (boy do I have a lot to read still :eek2:), I need to get myself some sort of bookcase to display these wonderful books.

[JayneH]

I have also preordered Just after Sunset and Locke and Key but I dont know if that counts. Otherwise I was in the states last month and bought the paperback of Colorado Kid and also Cycle of the Werewolf which I used to own but cant find anymore so it replaces it.

[Gris]

Just got the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, June 1984 with The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet in it.

[Wylde06]

Found The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon popup book for only 3 bucks at Borders the other day, and of course I grabbed it.

[Luli]

The Stand & Dark Tower Treachery Comic books!

[carolina Girl]

mine latest purchase was "Blaze" and "Duma Key" .:oh:

[Vegetable in Glasses]

My latest was The Long Road Home (hardbound), The Stand - Captain Trips 1 and 2, Treachery 1 and 2. What I left in the store almost made me cry. They had a signed first of Everything's Eventual. Sigh.

[boogerb53]

Blood and Smoke on cd. Listened to it twice in my new truck going back and forth to work. Now I am waiting on Carrie on cd to be delivered and of course, Just After Sunset is pre-ordered.

[Gris]

I've been busy. Got some more Science Fiction and Fantasy with stories in it. Most notable I guess are these...

Grant 1st Drawing of the Three signed by Phil Hale

Grant 1st Wizard and Glass (not signed by anyone, but if you've ever tried to find a copy of the Grant hardcover, you should understand how hard it is to find a deal)

1st Paperback of Running Man (original Bachman paperback)

[Sheila Carlyle]

Oct/Nov issue of F&SF

S.

[devious1]

well my last purchase should have been pre-ordering the special edition Just After Sunset that comes with the N DVD, but you damn Americans, the publisher's site says pre-orders are only for US residents! :mad2:

so i guess my last purchase was the TPB edition of Wolves Of The Calla.

[Ri The Lousy Translator]

Sorry, I’m a little behind… It takes a time to get his books here, plus $$$ situation is… :sad: I bought The Colorado Kid. Next one will be Lisey’s story which I’m very very anxious to read. Last movie was The Mist. Nope, last one was Secret Window, which I liked a lot and plan to sit my mother in front of the TV to watch it (I’m slowly trying to take her to the King side of the world). :D

[Haunted]

Secret Windows latest book. Have been buying The Stand by Marvel for a young friend.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Yeah, we all say that, Haunted LOL (Just kidding!).

[jacobtlong]

I think I got three SK novels at once less than a month ago. I think they were The Talisman, Black House, and Gerald's Game. I haven't read them yet because I'm finishing up Duma Key...which is frickin' awesome btw.

Hmmm...I think that 1408 was the last SK movie I got. That was way back in December, though. Man, I need to get some more movies...

[bopropadop]

Insomnia in paperback. One book that I've never read... I had my "several year" lapse from reading SK and can't believe I was so stupid to drift away. Ahhh but the pleasure of catching back up.

[Agincourt Concierge]

2nd installment of Treachery....

[Bobine]

Although I already own it, I saw DT7 hardcover at Borders for 4.99 - so I bought it.. Why? I have know idea!! I guess I couldn't believe the deal.

Also bought "The Shinning" (TV version) for 9.99 and Circuit City.
All in a day...

Hah....They come so pristinely wrapped in cello with a cardboard for support. Believe me the temptation is there but I am giving them as a gift in a looseleaf book. He is a very generous kid and will let me read them soonist. The drawings on the covers are truly awesome I just hope that they don't scare the bejeebees out of him. Oh, well, if so his little sister fears NOTHING and she loves a good story too. Either way, I get to read them:biggrin2:

[Gris]

Just received the Grant version of The Wastelands.

MY PRETTY PONY is on its way!

[Merlsmom]

Just pre-ordered Just After Sunset and ordered the Gunslinger. I tried the DT series yrs. ago but couldn't get into it. I think it's time has come, for me, now, however. Also bought SK's 2009 desk calendar. Yee-haw! :biggrin2:

[ComeUntoSweetDeath]

The long Road Home Amazon Edition.. great cover

[busy91]

I got "Danse Marcabre" yesterday, the paperback with the teeny tiny print!!

And I'm waiting on "Secret Windows : Essays and Fiction On The Craft Of Writing" from a second hand seller, that takes a bit longer than the regular on-line stores.

[jchanic]

I just got the Scribner bound manuscript proof of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. I've heard that there are between 13 and 20 copies of this.

[Brayden Bull]

I found an old copy of Night Shift at a used book store; I like the stories in NS for a good quick thrill!

Nightmares & Dreamscapes, The dark half, On writing & Hearts In Atlantis. Bought them while citytripping in London. In the amazing & wonderful store: The forbidden planet.

12 books to go and my collection of SK-books is complete. (not including the graphic novels, which i am also buying)

[Gillie]

My copy of the Stephen King 2009 desk calendar is on back order...:sad:
but it will come soon.

[mogget3]

today I called the american Bookcentre in Amsterdam to ask when they would get the first shipment of ''Just after Sunset''. And they told me they got it in today and I could come and get it... Isn't this a lot too early???
I'll call again tomorrow to make sure and then on Saturday I'll get it. I have to work all week long otherwise I would've been on the train in no time!

[Richard Edwards]

This is repetitive, but I purchased Faithful, DT 6 & 7, and The Talisman from audible.com.

I would also very much so like to see other books available there. I always loved SK's versions of DT 1-3/4, can't remember how many he did and obviously I would buy "It" and "The Stand" in a second.

Is SK's relationship with audible amicable?

I recently purchased Stationary Bike and The Gingerbread girl on audio book format. I have listened to them both and can't wait for Just After Sunset to get here. I pre-ordered it a month ago. But my most recent purchase is The Girl Who Loved Tom Gorden Pop up Book. It was only ordered yesterday so it is not here yet. I went with the Audio books this time when I discovered that I have every written novel that he has published. Hmmm I need more!!! :bat:

My 2009 Desk Calender and it came in today w/the signed bookplate by Robin Furth...woohoo

[Fieryness]

Ok, So for me the latest Stephen King Purchase, was the fist issue of The Stand comic.
And the second....

Was tickets to the reception and Stephen King Book signing going on tomorrow in MA. I can not wait to go! I am so excited....:love:

[Robbi]

My birthday gifts were all Stephen King related. :biggrin2:
I finally got Duma Key in hardcover. I was also able to order both Marvel hardcovers and pre-order Just After Sunset. My next purchase will be the desk calendar as well.

[Gillie]

My 2009 Desk Calender and it came in today w/the signed bookplate by Robin Furth...woohoo

I have a lot of the older novels that are now being released in my wish list on audible to download. I love having them on my ipod. But I will never purchase an abridged anything. :eek2:

[poisonbat]

Hi,

Have you read Faithful or Secret Windows, Poisonbat?

Long days and pleasant nights

To tell you the truth John, I didn't even know that Secret Windows existed until I got my first catalog from SK library last night. I ordered it. I have never heard of Faithful either, I will look that up.:bat:

[poisonbat]

Just looked up Faithful, Sorry John, but this one will not make it into my collection. I truly HATE baseball. I would never ever read it, and it would be a waste of paper on my behalf to have it. But thanks anyway. lol. Baseball is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Well that and Country music.:barf::bat:

Just looked up Faithful, Sorry John, but this one will not make it into my collection. I truly HATE baseball. I would never ever read it, and it would be a waste of paper on my behalf to have it. But thanks anyway. lol. Baseball is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Well that and Country music.:barf::bat:

Hi,

I understand your feelings about the baseball aspect, but much of Faithful is really a great peek into the everyday life of Sai King (and his bits are printed in bold type, so you can skip much of the baseball if you want).

But then, I love real country music too!

But you'll enjoy Secret Windows.

Long days and pleasant nights

My latest King-related purchase was today. I bought a copy of Joe Hill's book, 'Heart Shaped Box'. The picture on the back of the book (paperback).... he really looks like Stephen, but I can still see Tabby in his face.

I am looking forward to reading that book.

Just received Just After Sunset and the new graphic novel today!! Also purchasing some SK hardcovers online....

[swiftdog01]

Just ordered my Artist Edition of The Little Sisters Of Eluria from Grant Books!!!

[Leighjavu]

I almost ordered JAS online. I stopped and decided to buy it local.
I went to my neighboring store, the competition dontcha know and
they put aside one first edition hardcopy for mwa. Now I'll have to get
my work at home done so I can have good reading time. The Joe Hill
book Heart shape box? seems interesting, think I'll get one of those too. Curious.
A little store called "Needful Things" specializing in Baseball collector items
in downtown Bangor is closing next week. This is Red Sox territory..Indeed.

I just found Firestarter and The Running Man at Goodwill. Yay.

Just After Sunset

[fan777]

Two copies of Just After Sunset. One for me and one for my mother. She has been reading Stephen King since before he wrote under Stephen King. Next purchase hopefully will be an autographed copy of her favorite book The Dark Tower (loves every book in series) signed to her. Unless someone is selling one on the internet signed to Barbara I will be waiting a while for a public signing.

[Shasta]

Just After Sunset, of course!

Fan 77 - I met Mr. King on my birthday - April 4th of Last year - and he signed my "Drawing of the Three" with Happy Birthday. I would kill to protect that book so I wish you the best of luck in your quest!!!!

[Andrew.Kempster]

I'm visiting Bangor in two weeks. It's only a one-day stop to have a look around - I'm staying in Boston with my girlfriend for a week. Will definitely be stopping at Betts Bookstore and buying something. Probably 'Just After Sunset'!

[Championsrus]

Just After Sunset, for my Dad's 67th birthday, which is today. Happy Birthday Dad!!

[MyLife4YouSK]

Just After Sunset, the 1st 3 Stand comics, & some "Ka" buttons, and a DT related T-shirt to bring to the recent Mt Holyoke event, which I got over at DarkTowerCompendium.com

Click on the store button(blue) and check out all the SK goodies! Wow.
wish everyone in my family shared my love for all things King. This would be one place to shop the other would be Bett's bookstore.

peace, CJ
KING RULES!

Hi,

Wow, congrats, that's a rarity!

Just watched Frank Darabont's adaptation of The Mist and I think he'll do a great job of filming it.

Just bought "Just After Sunset". :)

Unfortunately, here in Argentina is not that easy to find SK books, at least not the old ones. You can find the latest ones, such as Cell, Lisey's story or even Desperation, but that's it.
I've been trying to get a copy of Rage for years but that seems like Mission Impossible.

DT Treachery comic book & The Stand comic book!

Hi,

If it's the first edition stand alone publication then it really is 'Mission Financially Unfeasible', but if it's just the story you want to read then it was published in the Bachman books for many years (though not in the current edition!) and should be easily available from E-bay or Amazon.

There is an original Rage PB on eBay RIGHT NOW, but starting bid is around $250, so out of my league until I will that lottery that's being talked about in the other thread.

My latest King related purchase would have to be the gas, motel room, and food needed along the way on my trip to meet The Man.

Hi,

Keep us updated about what it actually goes for, won't you, Gris?
