[PAH]

I am trying to find a complete hardcover collection of first editions for my boss. Any ideas on where to find this?

Hi and welcome.

Yeah well, if you have very, very deep pockets and you love your boss that much :biggrin2:, you can try here:

Hi Pah!
You don't say if you read SK at all, so I wonder if you realize you're talking about ALOT of books! Many of us here have made this a lifetime project to collect first editions of his books. I have about 50 of his books, maybe 35 of which are first editions.
Also, there was more than one publishing house, as his works span decades, and there is no one place to go to get this "collection". Even if, like Srbo said, you have very, very deep pockets!
Good luck! (You must really love your boss!!)

As Sirbo says Hope you have Deep pockets, even used hard covers are expensive not to mention hard to find. GOOD LUCK!

I wonder what the total value of this collection would be. Duma Key cost me $35.00 hard copy. October 2007 I printed his Print-Friendly List of Works, it was 7 pages long. DEEP POCKETS indeed!!!:wow::eyebrow:

Good luck.
If you want to get an idea of what sort of price King's books can fetch, check out e-bay. Search for a first edition, hard-cover of The Stand. I think you'll be pretty darn shocked.

I got most of my older hard covers from used books stores, but you can find quite of few on e-bay too.

Wow, your boss must pay really well. Is he/she hiring? LOL

Seroiusly, good luck with your search :)

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of the good info so far. I am just locating the collection for my boss, not paying for it!! He is an avid fan, and not concerned about cost (it must be nice). I have located a few sources where I can pick up a few hardback first editions, but I would love to find most or all, from one place. Also they need to be in a condition rated 1 or 2. I am about to check out the link from Srbo. I will check back here soon. Thanks again!

Hi,

Aye, please keep us informed, so we know what we'll do with our lottery win.

Good luck!

And say 'Hi' to Mr. Gates for us, won't you, please?

Long days and pleasant nights

Tell him to check used book stores! I have a first edition copy of IT, in mint condition, and it only cost me $8 compared to the $95 it costs on that website!

www.abebooks.com is a good place to look as well. You click on what your preferences are, and viola there you go.

Good luck!

you could check Half Price Books... they have a lot of clearance hardcovers by SK for under $3... but you'd be hard pressed to find good condition first editions there...

It would probably be cheaper for you to marry him/her !
