[rjt65]

uhhh .... maybe go to the library?

[~Ally~]

Hi, I agree with Rjt65.
Libraries are a marvellous resource which people should try and take the time to use more. Or try a second hand store or flee market, you will pick up a copy for next to nothing there. Good luck :smile2:.

How Rude*I Work 90Hrs A Week And I Have A Three Yr Old*Doesnt Leave Much Time For Hangin Out At The Library*Not To Mention The Fact Its Rarely Open When I Am Off*Dont Be Rude*All I Was Askin Was If Anybody Had A Copy They Were Finished W/*I Always Give My Books To Somebody Who Wants To Read Them If Im Finished*I Think A Book On A Shelf Is A Total Waste*They Were Made To Enjoy Not Sit On A Shelf*:sad:

None of us would have had any idea of what your background was and I don't think anybody was intending to be rude. It seemed to me that they were offering genuine suggestions that might help you get a copy free or sooner.

[~Ally~]

WOW...last time I try to be genuinely helpful :zip:.
Ms Mod at times you have the patience of a saint...I salute you!!

[rjt65]

rude :eek2::dunno: ??


might it be presumptuous to expect someone u never spoken to to mail u there book? I would either buy another or go to the library

I re-read my books and like my SK collection right behind me, they got my back!! ;-)

[michal]

...And shipping it will probabely end up costing more than buying a new one or a used one. Mr. King books are let's say... on the heavy side. And I'm suite you can take your 3 year old to the library with you. I always enjoyed going with my own mother and being read to, or just look at the pictures, even way before I could read.

Anyway - good luck. It is a fantastic book and I hope you'll manage to finish it one way or another.

[Ted Brautigan]

No offense, but you're on a Stephen King message board so of course people are going to be a little reluctant to send a King book to someone they don't know. But here's a suggestion: Go to Amazon.com and type in Needful Things Hardcover. I just bought a used copy of Insomnia on amazon for $4. The shipping was $3.99 so the book was only $0.01! And it's like brand new. I can tell it was either only read once or just handled with care.

[JosephDurham]

I just looked on eBay, and there aer several first edition hardback copies available for a little under seven dollars.

Not trying to sound rude or nothing but it probably takes about the same amount of time to pick it up at the library as it does to pick it up at the post office

[zazibar]

I agree with you. Books that are special to a person should be put on a shelf so they can be read or refrenced at any time you choose.

[catnoel]

There are quite a few hardcore fans on this site and we save our books as part of a collection and to reread. Sad to say, if there was a fire in my house, I would go for the books first, well right after the husband, I guess:smile2: I see copies of this book in secondhand shops, ebay, garage sales, the library, etc. We are a friendly bunch on this site, but asking for a book from our collection, probably isn't the best idea. I know I have lent books that were never returned and it sucks because then I gotta replace it to complete my collection.

Thank you, Ms. Mod.

[Bryan James]

Absolutely nothing to add.

[chimpanity]

well (sigh) glad that all worked out well. I hope you find you'r book. Hopefully you will post more about the journey to find it... It took me about a month to find my original copy of Dark Tower II, Then on the same day (Christmas) I purchased/found one in a dollar book store then someone very special gave me a copy as a present.. I think because I had hard time finding it (and I looked everyware) that when I actually got the book I cherished them more... I still have both copys and have in the past been asked to give one away, but they are special to me in a way that noone can possably understand... Mayhap thats why you'll have a hard time prying a book from our grubby little fingers....

But please let us know if you get your copy.

[ryanne_00]

just thought i would update you all that were kind enough to offer suggestions. i actually ordered another copy off of ebay i paid 8dollars plus shipping for the book as soon as the auction ended in true mr. king horror story fashion the devil who took my money did not send me the book and when i filed a claim ebay replied that there was nothing they could do so im out 13dollars and still no needful things its safe to say i give up on finishing the book as i also took your advice in visiting the local library,+unfortunatly+their+copy+had+been+borrowed+but+not+r eturned.+I+will+gladly+take+any+more+advice+you+all+have+to+ give.+[QUOTE=JosephDurham;321059]I+just+looked+on+eBay,+and+there+aer+several+first+edition+h ardback+copies+available+for+a+little+under+seven+dollars.

OOOwhee Marsha, wish I could be a bug on those bytes...see, all the plus signs aside-I have a bone to pick coz they CAN'T be the hugest SK fan. I like to think I'm one of those with dibs on that distinction-being nearly 7 foot tall and over 300 pounds...C'mon, c'mon-I'll wrassle ya fer it...

[Moderator]

No need to wrassle--at 5'2" and...well, a lot less than 300 pounds, I could just hide in your shadow and you'd never see me. :smile2:

[Bryan James]

...being nearly 7 foot tall and over 300 pounds...

If I accidentally call you "Sausage Fingers," please understand that I do it only with the purest Homer Simpson love.

Pass the syrup.

[O!Discordia]

I have to agree with everyone... no one willingly parts with their King books. Try Amazon or e-bay for sure. Now my question is... how the heck do you have time for a kid and a dog, let alone time to read if you work 90 hours a week?

[labec1130]

I have extra copies of most SK novels...hardbacks to look pretty and softies to read over and over and over... but sorry none to spare. Not to be rude, just honest.

Hi,

I sympathize, because my son also works 90 and 100 hour weeks.

For which he gets paid.

Amazon deliver.

Long days and pleasant nights

I've sent an email to the address you gave. You might need to check your Junk folder in case it filters it there.

[ryanne_00]

I Received My Newest Copy of Needful Things Today!!! I Am Really Excited To Start It Again And Finally Finish It, Im Sure Its Gonna Be Worth The Wait*LoL Thanks To Those Who Made It Possible, Enough Said*:laugh:

[Salv0420]

Struck me as funny that this thread was about realllllly wanting Needful Things. Currently reading it and it sounds like some ploy setup by Leland Gaunt! :ghostface:

[Grenouille]

I bought this book 2nd hand at a small market earlier this year and to my horror there are about 80 pages missing near the end (no wonder it was so cheap ;) )! Still haven't got round to replacing it but the ebay idea above is a god one, I'll be having a look on there this morning.
