Your latest Stephen King related purchase...

[~Ally~]

Well im a very happy little bunny today as i have finally had a day off work/study and i managed to go shopping to buy Just After Sunset..i just need to find time to read it now!!
Im so glad its short stories, that way i dont feel so guilty when i have to put it down, its nice to be able to read a little at a time:smile2:

[~Ally~]

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.

Hey, Rage is definitely available at the moment on Amazon in The Bachman Books and it is ridiculously cheap..i would recommend this book to you as for some strange reason i love The Long Walk story in it..guess its all to do with a survival of the fittest mentality.:grinning:
Either way this is a good site for you to go on if you find it hard to find books cos they have loads of SK's..personally i dont understand how people can bear to part with their books:sad:

The deluxe and artists edition of LSoE...

[Agincourt Concierge]

I just got The Stand....not first edition, but early edition... it looks like this/date 1978...it is surprisingly small for a HB!

[BlackThorn]

Picked up 'Living Dead' the other day. I think I've already read the King story, 'Home Delivery', that's in the collection... but the Joe Hill one will be interesting. Not to mention how grouping zombie stories together is an awesome idea! It really puts you in the mood for grossness.

I mean, in the first story I read in the book, the dangerous kid was dragging and leading a zombie boy around by sticking his finger through the soft skin under the zombie boys chin.

Yeah, I needed some good imaginary fuel for the fire in my mind. Thank you to all who participated!

[Speedy2]

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.

Long days and pleasant night

JD, there are times when the things that you come up with make me laugh so hard I darn near have an accident. :eek2: "Mission Financially Unfeasible", how do you come up with this stuff? Have a great weekend.
Shawna (aka Speedy)

[rlm0619]

My last purchase was The Stand. Read the first one to pieces.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Roland poster? I really really need one!!

[carolina Girl]

For me it was Duma Key. Blaze and then Just after Sunset which I ordered JAS online
from the Science Fiction Bookclub. I could have waited and gotten JAS at Wal-mart
at Just about the same price .:biggrin2:

[Gris]

The deluxe and artists edition of LSoE...

I'm not a quick thinker in the morning. From 8am to about 6pm are bad for me, so bear with me...

What is LSoE?

I know that by the time this finishes posting after I hit submit, I'll have figured it out, but why not ask anyway :D


and latest Purchase...

Esquire from Dec 2003 came today with Rest Stop in it.

[demorgan]

LSoE=Little Sisters of Eluria
sorry, should have been more clear about it.

[Panic Rat]

My latest is The Long Road Home hardcover and The Talisman. :)

[Vado Tempestas]

"From a Buick 8" because it was a hard cover and because it was a dollar and because I am a total dork because I totally hated this story.

[Sam Catoe]

My last purchase was The Stand. Read the first one to pieces.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Roland poster? I really really need one!!

Michael Whelan has one or two on his website, but I don't know what the price is. Check it out and good luck.

[hipmamajen]

Books 3 and 4 in the Dark Tower series... I wasn't going to read them, but you all are so persuasive that I gave them a try. Now I'm hooked! I'm so glad I found this MB! :)

[jchanic]

I just got an ARC of He Is Legend from the publisher. This has the King/Hill collaboration entitled "Throttle".

[Sundrop]

Just After Sunset :)

John

That's a great find John!



I received 2 boxes in the mail the past couple days, Both from eBay. 1 was only partial though, angry about that.

1st box was from an overly obsessive collector, and I guess because I bought it, it makes me overly obsessive as well. This guy had all sorts of stuff in the box. It seemed like he printed every web page that has ever mentioned Stephen King. It also had a few older mags with Stephen King stuff. TV Guide from the Shining remake miniseries, a New Yorker magazine, a printing of The Plant, some screen plays. overall, a lot of mish-mash.

2nd box was a guy on eBay that was selling 5 sets of 4 different "First Edition" books. I ended up getting all 5 for just under $35. not bad for 20 books. Problem is that the box only had 9 in it. I'm hoping he sent them in 2 boxes, but I'm skeptical. Either way, They WERE all first editions, not book clubs, even really old ones like Cujo.

In the box were, all match the description of First Editions per the official pdf (http://www.stephenking.com/other/identifying_first_editions.pdf):
Skeleton crew
Cujo
Bag Of Bones
Talisman
Four Past Midnight
Dark Love
Dark Half
Insomnia
Hearts In Atlantis



These are missing from what I had won in the auctions. If these are 1st/1st as well, I'll be excited if he actually delivers on them:
It
Delores Claiborne
Rose Madder
Needful Things
The Stand
Tommyknockers
Dreamcatcher
Misery
Gerald's Game
Fire Starter
Nightmares & Dreamscapes

[Haunted]

Just After Sunset

[jchanic]

I hope the seller sends the other box. If not, be sure to email him and find out what the heck is going on. If you're still not satisfied, be sure to contact eBay.

[m83nghtmre]

Just after sunset, and already a good way into it.

[SKfan2006]

i got Cycle of the Werewolf, Stand, Running Man and Thinner friday at Half-price books for $9.

[JohnDalglish]

i got Cycle of the Werewolf, Stand, Running Man and Thinner friday at Half-price books for $9.

Hi,

Well, that was nine bucks well spent, was it not?

Good ol' Half Price Books.

Long days and pleasant nights

[SusanNorton]

Just After Sunset. I bought it for myself as a Christmas present from my husband. He'll wrap it and put it under the tree, which means I won't read it until Christmas day. In my jammies, by the fire, in my rocking chair. :)

[LongTallSally]

I bought Just After Sunset at work last night. It finally came in, and by the time I saw it there was just one copy left. Needless to say, I hid it in the back room with a note on it saying that I would buy it. It's at home, in my library now. I won't read it until I finish Secret Windows by SK and Heart Shaped Box by his son.

I read SK and I sleep well, although lately, I am starting to have part of my dreams in German. WOOOHOOOO!!!!

[SKfan2006]

Hi,

Good ol' Half Price Books.

if it weren't for their $5 off coupons and 20%sale it would've been about $20. am glad i bought those but i almost bought Firestarter which i already have but didn't remember if i had it and i also wanted to get Bachman Books but i couldn't make myself buy it because i already had a copy of the Long Walk. also i had to get Cycle because that was the first time i ever saw it in a store. was the quickest read since i finished it that day. currently on Running Man.

[fredo]

Just After Sunset. I'll never use a Porta-Potty again in my life. Wilma rocked, but I do love a good ghost story.

[slagzombie]

I've been buying a lot of Stephen King related items lately, but my most recent purchase was on eBay. I found a copy of The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition (1st Edition/1st Printing).

[Agincourt Concierge]

I just purchased the illustrated first edition of Salem's Lot when it was re-issued. It is beautiful!!! I didn't spend too much, either!

[JRLauer]

Just bought the collectors edition of Just After Sunset. Look forward to reading it.

[johnjohn2069]

I just got Duma Key:smile2:

[JohnDalglish]

Just After Sunset. I'll never use a Porta-Potty again in my life.

Hi,

Aye, me too, Fredo.

I think A Very Tight Place has done for Port-Potties what IT did for clowns.

I'll never be able to go to another rock festival!

Long days and pleasant nights

[bookworm101]

Just ordered a license plate holder that says " I'd rather be reading Stephen King " LOL Love it.

[angeleyes]

Half Price Books also sells King books. I was shocked at the selection. In one trip, I bought The Bachman Books and DT3 and 4 for under $15.00

[angeleyes]

Where did you find the license plate cover?

[Sheila Carlyle]

Half Price Books also sells King books. I was shocked at the selection. In one trip, I bought The Bachman Books and DT3 and 4 for under $15.00

Yes, Half Price Books, thrift shops, and garage sales are life savers when you go over your book budget. Like I do...all the freakin' time:smile2: !

[kl3640]

I just ordered a hardcover NoS copy of Secret Windows: Essays and Fiction on the Craft of Writing as a Christmas gift for my wife. She had mentioned wanting it at some point but finding an unused hardcover copy (to put away, not read, since she has a copy that she's read and re-read) was actually not such an easy task as most of the copies that she could find out there were used, so I had to keep an eye on re-sellers until I found someone who had an NoS hardcover copy. The process took me a few days.

[JohnDalglish]

Half Price Books also sells King books. I was shocked at the selection. In one trip, I bought The Bachman Books and DT3 and 4 for under $15.00

Hi,

I wish we had Half Price Books in Your Rope!

[Dante Deschain]

Just read On Writing, and it was fantastic

[Kim L.]

The Dead Zone

[Gris]

Just got both the Gift edition and ARC copy of Lisey's Story. I already had the regular Trade Hardcover.

[slagzombie]

Just ordered a license plate holder that says " I'd rather be reading Stephen King " LOL Love it.

I too would like to know how to get my hands on one of those.:eyebrow:

[Laura6]

I just got Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis and a new edition of Blaze at Goodwill. 50 cents a book and a 20% off coupon!! I am a goodwill fanatic, especially for books.

[bookworm101]

[Luli]

The Stand the complete & uncut edition! Woo-hoo! :)

[smooth operator]

I bought Duma Key in paperback not too long ago. Just finished it a couple of days ago. Glad I bought it!! I LOVE IT.

[nunuchis_]

Last week I bought:
The dark half, the girl who loved Tom Gordon, the tommyknockers, and the talisman

[Clotho]

I bought Lisey's Story about a week before I bought Duma Key for Christmas. :biggrin2:

Lisey's Story may not hold me off long enough.. its devouring my attention.

[Undead Constant Reader]

Purchased the hardcover edition of Duma Key at the local Barnes & Noble.

[SixPins]

I got the uncut version of The Stand in hardcover a few weeks ago for a mere $7. It's totally mint too, as if it had just landed off the press. I was so excited. We went looking for a book for my friend and it was not there but I did luck out. Ha ha. :biggrin2:

[Luli]

Cool....you gonna post pics (depending on where it is??) :biggrin2:

I absolutely am. It's no where near pretty right this second so I'm going to wait until I get a little further along.

[Agincourt Concierge]

I just purchased a hardcover of Dead Zone!

[Presque Vu]

The beginnings of a giant Dark Tower tattoo.

Wow! Can't wait for those pics then!:grinning:

[AngelZ]

Just After the Sunset. Has anyone read it yet?

[JohnDalglish]

Just After the Sunset. Has anyone read it yet?

Hi,

Yes, I have the read it.

Great, isn't it?

Long days and pleasant nights

[Vegetable in Glasses]

Gris,
Can I come over to your house and drool near your collection? (Obviously not on the collection)
You can come here after and laugh at my sad, beat-up, read-to-death copies! LOL!

Did that second box ever show up?

[Gris]

If you, or anyone else for that matter, is ever in Northeast PA, you are more than welcome to come spend some time in my home for a meal and some relaxation.

The full second box never showed up, but I got Nightmares and Dreamscapes in a padded envelope with a note from the post office saying "Sorry for damaging your package. This book came out of the box".

[xRedBeardx]

My latest purchase was Needful Things from a used book store here in my hometown.

[Vegetable in Glasses]

Gris,
I am in that area all the time. Literally. Thanks for the invite.
I would promise to feed you as well, but I get the impression that you want to continue living. I'll have to see if I can talk my husband into doing the cooking when you come over. :smile2:

Sorry to hear about your busted box. What kind of shape was the book in when you unwrapped it? Maybe there will be a Christmas miracle and the others will start to trickle in soon.

[Gris]

The book was fine. The Seller thinks he is being played with by an "enemy" at the post office.


as a side note...

I ordered a slipcase for the PostScript Press limited Editions of Colorado Kid. It was only $10, but I'd never seen it before and figure it would be nice to hold the 3 artist copies.

[Wylde06]

I didnt actually buy these myself, got them for Christmas...but I got It, Christine, and The Tommyknockers, all hardcover :o

[jacobtlong]

I recently bought a DVD of The Night Flier. I've also acquired The Long Walk and From a Buick 8.

[Gris]

Just After Sunset.

[Natjen26]

From a Buick 8 and The running man.

Night shift and Four Past Midnight are on their way. Allthough I allready received a message that the delivery of Night Shift will be delayed till the end of January. Well, I guess I can wait. I still have a bunch of them to surf through.

And my collection is almost complete. I only need two books of SK and I have them all. Only Danse Macabre and The Rage. Having trouble finding the latter.

Happy new year to you and your loved ones.

[bookworm101]

I meant He is legend, boy have I been tired.:blush:

[liberallady]

I just pre-paid for He Is Legend. After reading all the posts I'm really excited about getting the book.
I started reading SK with Carrie and have been an addict since then! The only addiction that I hope they never find a cure for...LOL

[Spideyman]

Count me in on He Is Legend. Confirmation in hand too.

[psj77]

I got my constant reader shirt last week

[Frizz]

I bought Just After Sunset when it came out, but just two days ago I bought Blaze. Haven't read it though because I have about 100 pgs left in The Stand. So as soon as I finish The Stand I will get my Blaze on.

[kingricefan]

Hi All! I just got home yesterday from a trip to Seattle to visit my family and do some serious bookshopping. Here in Spokane, WA where I live there aren't many used bookstores or thrift stores and the ones that are here don't have a very good selection. Anyway, while in a Value Village (thrift store) I found (and bought!) an ex-library copy of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger second Grant printing for only $2.99 plus tax!! Yes, that two dollars and ninety-nine cents!! The book itself is in pretty good shape with only one library stamp (on bottom outside edges of pages), remnants of the card sleeve in front and minor moisture damage to the first 5 or 6 pages. The dustjacket would've been in excellent condition if someone hadn't of cut off both inside flaps (!!!!!!????) and pasted them to the last page. Luckily, I was able to remove them and place them inside the broadart cover where they belong. But, for what I paid I think it's an excellent find!! I love shopping thrift stores, you just never know what you'll find inside! I also found, at various used bookstores this weekend, a nice large paperback copy of The Bachman Books (black cover version, $1.99), an 11th paperback printing of The Running Man ($1.00, I aim to have a copy of this book in all it's printings, don't ask why!) and a MINT trade paperback copy of Danse Macabre ($1.99!). I urge all of you to hit up your local used bookstores and/or thrift stores!

[jenboxer77]

A few weeks ago I bought, "The Bachman Books: Four Early Novels by Stephen King". I found it at the little hole in the wall used bookstore in my home town two doors down from where I work for a dollar! I am going back to buy a few more of the oldies I don't have.

[linkinjen2001]

just bought duma key on ebay yesterday i can't wait to get it!!

[Jax]

I got my Constant Reader shirts in for myself and the girls not to long ago, and I bought SK Goes To The Movies.
Currently trying to find 1st ed. HC Insomnia.

[bookworm101]

I just purchased a miniature version of The Stand. It only has 16 pages and its tiny and cute. I just had to have it. I got it on e-bay under dollhouse miniatures. Only cost 3.00 bucks.

[Shasta]

Nothing because I'm broke. So sad.

[Kenzie Lou Who]

[tillyn]

[linkinjen2001]

just bought stephen king goes to the movies today!! woo-hooo

[J.P.]

All of the DT series on legitimate audiobook files. My other ones were bad downloads and were terribly buggy and didn't work well. I use Audible.com very good sight for King audiobooks.

[kingfanalaska09]

I think I posted here before but I recently got Just After Sunset with the N DVD, a first edition of The Dead Zone

[psj77]

I just got cpt. Trips HB in the mail today from tales of wonder. When I opened the box I was shocked to find a copy of #1 variant in the box as well.:biggrin2:

[JayneH]

I bought a hard cover copy of the Stand on Ebay... uncut of course. Cost me a bit but totally worth it.

[Gillie]

All of the DT series on legitimate audiobook files. My other ones were bad downloads and were terribly buggy and didn't work well. I use Audible.com very good sight for King audiobooks.

And they have recently begun to add some of the older books on audio. Great for filling out my collection.

[psj77]

Nightmaes in the sky - from ebay
a Dixie Pig shirt - from cafe press

I got them both in the mail today.

[boogerb53]

I just pre-ordered Under the Dome! I absoulutely cannot wait!

[havealemon]

Bought Blaze (Richard Bachman) the other day.

[blunthead]

Just After Sunset, used, excellent condition, under $10 at Half.com.

[Matthew.Degnan]

A copy of Dark Visions, a horror anthology with 3 King stories in.

[Annarkie]

Since I joined this MB, I've realized how many SK books I haven't read, so this monday my man and I went on a thrift-store spree and hit every one in town. He got the bread box he'd been searching for and I got 12 new Sk books for like 1$ each! Except the harcover of Duma Key and Cell, those were 2$ :biggrin2:

[finalfantasyVII]

I found Four Past Midnight for $1.00 at my local library..check those out..then Different Seasons for the same:wow:

[Q'smum]

I am so stoked! This weekend I got DT-VII and Lisey's story for $3.99 each - brand new hardbacks! I am on a mission to get as many hardbacks as I can. I still have an first edition hardback of Firestarter. Actually, that and Insomnia are the only 2 first editions I have, I think. I have to dig out Bag of Bones and Dreamcatcher (hardcovers), they may be first editions also because I got them both the day they came out.

[Kim L.]

The 1st of the "American Nightmares" arc of The Stand comix--fantastic! (They're getting to know me at the local comic book store)

[kingfanalaska09]

I got Cujo, Different Seasons and Firestarter all first editions on eBay I chose media mail so I'll get them in afew weeks

[cunninghamair]

Hardcovers of Lisey's Story and Blaze at B&N for $6! Riding the Bullet for my Kindle. SK Constant Reader T-shirt and sticker. That's all :-)

[Matticus]

I had a friend send me a first edition of Drawing of the Three. I love it like one of my own children.

[babynike]

Hamburger Helper......... I'm kidding hopefully some of you get it. My last purchase was The Living Dead it is a short story compelation. It has home delivery in it.

[Shasta]

My husband just got me the first serial novel of the Green Mile in first edition, which completes my Green Mile first edition collection. He also got me this cool audition thing of the Mist which has actors portraying each character. It's like a play in surround sound in your ears. I had never heard of it but it's pretty cool.

[Mindyleigh]

i have also recently found a used book store and purchased several viking first edition hard backs for $4 a piece

[Q'smum]

I had a friend send me a first edition of Drawing of the Three. I love it like one of my own children.

That's what I call a friend!:biggrin2:

[delores 74]

I found a copy of The Colorado Kid in a bargain store. I'd never heard of it and had to check and re-check to make sure it was THE SK. Haven't read it yet, but I thought it was a pretty good find.

[Wendy Capps]

Most recent purchases were Duma Key hardcover and Cell paperback. I would like very much to see Duma Key as a movie!!! Always love the characters. This would be a very good movie, characterwise and visually.

[Jax]

My most recent King purchase was UR which I enjoyed.

[marie96]

I bought The Dead Zone (VHS) a few weeks ago for 20 kroner (3 dollars)

[shannonwalker2004]

I just purchased 2 copies of the pop up book The Girl who Loved tom Gordon. Never even knew it existed till I saw them on the shelf

[jesterqueen]

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

Ditto the yard sale. Desperation for a quarter. Previously couldn't make it past <spoiler alert, but an early one> Mary seeing Pie dead on the steps in the cop house. [[The dead kids ones always upset me in an "ooh that's too real-world for me" kind of way until I tell my prissy soul to shutupandreadwillya.]] Have now reached David's grabbing the bullet from the floor.

[Shasta]

There is a first edition Gunslinger (I think, I can only see through the window) of this book store by my house and it's been closed FOREVER because of a death in the family. I'm freaking out!

[JustAfterReading]

I bought Desperation and Dolores Claiborne HC editions on ebay.

[Speedygi81]

I got Insomnia and IT in MPB form.

[michal]

I got a copy of Needful Things, which I already read several times but never owned. I'd only buy books though. DVDs and Tshirts really aren't my cup of tea. I mean, what's next? A mug with an It sign on it for 9.95? It's just seems like a way to get money out of fans - not that's that a bad thing' ig you feel that purchasing another object is what you need to make you happy and complete, why not?

Books are a different story.

[pagantallie]

I belong to a book swapping club in the uk called www.readitswapit.co.uk.This is where i get most of my SK books from and the best thing about it is, as long as you have a book that someone else wants to read, all you have to do is pay the cost of posting the book (about £2) which is a bargain! my latest swap was cell which took just over 1 week to read - and was marvellous.

[Sundrop]

Just picked up Firestarter at a steal--$1.00! :)

[JohnK]

I just purchased a pristine hardcover edition of "It" at a book sale (Less then 1$). I also have equally clean copies of "The Talisman" and "Black House" as well.

Long Days and Pleasant nights.

[paulinekh]

I am in the process of replacing all my stephen king videos for DVD's( please dont anyone mention blue-ray) but am on a ban on watching either until I've finished doing my paintings!

[JSinn1018]

I've never avoided any stories. I've been delaying reading Christine though and Carrie and that's just because I've seen the movies alot and have a vague idea of how things will turn out.

[ginapenn]

I just finished The Gingerbread Girl on audio (purchased at a Borders for a slightly lower than normal price) and now I'm moving on to Blaze on audio.

[Jojo87]

Few weeks ago I order Mist and Blaze. I haven't start to read them yet. But I think I start with Blaze next week.

[Tracy924]

I bought "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" and "Needful Things" in the Red Hardcover editions at a used bookstore. 6 bucks each!! :)

[Gillie]

Just bought 'On Writing' audio on cassette.
:upside:

[karend3]

I bought IT last month it was on sale at borders. I got so a colleague could read it, he loved it.

[TowerGirl]

I got my Constant Reader T-Shirt and Hoodie last week. They are GREAT!!! Over the weekend I ordered a lot 5 books - all Stephen King. I can't remember all the titles, but I do know that Black House with Peter Straub is among them. (I love that book!)

Also , I finally got my copy of Duma Key at our local Barnes and Noble. So far, it's a wonderful tale...:smile2:

[Insomniak]

one dark day I strode into a B&N with a snarl on my face and picked up a copy of IT-paperback, a newer version chrome on white. 6.99?

[darktowerjunkie1]

Esquire Magazine (My husband is subscribed) does that count? LOL if not, it was the last Dark Tower and Stand comic books

[Shasta]

The Dead Zone first edition. It's older than me. Woo-hoo!

[Anton177]

I bought a collection of 20 hardback King books from eBay, and I'll probably be getting another collection of 12 hardbacks in a couple of weeks.

I'm going to run out of space before I run out of money, I swear.

[kingricefan]

Just had three days off in a row so I decided to head over to the Seattle area to visit family and of course I had to do some book shopping at the area's used bookstores. Man did I SCORE!!! I usually go to the HalfPrice bookstores, I can always find some obscure King item to add to my collection. I was at the Bellevue Crossroads location and was looking thru their glass case where they keep the more rare and expensive items. Someone must have brought in their King collection as I saw A really nice 1st printing of the original version of The Stand ($50), a signed copy of the UK edition of Wizards & Glass ($500) and some other ones that I can't remember right now. Didn't want any of the ones there so I went over to the horror section and started looking thru the regular King books. They usually charge anywhere from $4.98 to $7.98 for the used hardbacks. I pulled off the only hardback copy of Bag Of Bones, checked the price sticker on the front which said $4.98, opened it up to the title page and right there in black ink see that it is AUTOGRAPHED by SK!!!!!! WoooHoooooo!!!! What a score!!! This was certainly overlooked by the book buyers the day this was brought in by someone to sell to the store as they would've charged at least $100 for this signed copy! I made it a habit to always check copies of BoB's when I find them as SK made an appearance in Seattle when it was 1st published and I got to see him in person at that old church in The University District but wasn't able to get my book signed by him. I knew someday I would find a signed copy and it took me ten years to do it, but I did it!! Let me tell you, I nearly ran out of that store after I paid my $5 and some odd cents (after taxes!)!!!! It was almost as good as when I found a mint 1st printing hardback of Carrie for $7.99!!!! Now, that time I DID run out of the store after buying it. I kept waiting for an employee to jump out and say 'We were just kidding, it's really $798!!!' I LOVE used bookstores!!!

[yog-sothoth]

My most recent purchase is a preorder of Under the Dome. 25 years in the making! I cant wait! I love his long novels. I always close his books with bittersweet feelings. :sad: At over 1000 pages I think I shall be happy enough for a while.

[jacobtlong]

With some of my grad money I bought the following paperbacks: Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Danse Macabre, Night Shift, Different Seasons, Roadwork, Hearts In Atlantis, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Firestarter, and Cujo.

I think that's all of them.

[bsymom927]

My latest purchase was Blaze, however, my latest gift was Duma Key. When I went on vacation to Maine a few years ago, I found a huge used book store that had hundreds of Stephen King. I grabbed all the paperbacks I didn't already own!

[dw1345]

Do you happen to remember the name of the book store in Maine? I'm going to Maine in a few months and I would love to stop by if it's near where I'm staying.

[jenboxer77]

I picked up a Kingdom Hospital DVD at the Grocery Outlet for $.99! I was so excited! It's not the whole series, but for $.99 I just could not pass it up!

[ginapenn]

I can honestly say I've never bought a King book secondhand or received one as a hand-me-down. My patience wears thin as I anxiously await the next installment of my King library. The only King I've never paid for was a reader's advanced copy of On Writing from when I worked at Barnes and Noble. I was the "Stephen King reference" when I worked there so I got all the King questions. lol!

[pandora]

My son just got me a birthday present.
It's a comic book. I love him!!!!

[carolina Girl]

SFBC a collection of stephen King movies , my last book purchased by SEK was Just
After Sunset.:cool2:

[chillbill]

Last King book I purchased was the collector's edition of Just After Sunset. Before that one the last one I bought was the signed #ed edition of He Is Legend.

[~Ally~]

A second hand copy of Dreamcatcher. Yes, I already have it but I couldn't resist and figured the story is due a reread...so that's my excuse:laugh:.

[rok]

i just got the green mile 10th anniversary edition,little sisters of eluria deluxe,and i found a used book store where i found a 1st edition ill eyes of the dragon and 1st edition insomnia

[Agincourt Concierge]

Fall of Gilead....graphic novel....#2

[makutakyle]

[Samantha_]

A second hardback copy of It.

[flutterbypurr]

I went to my Library...for one I've missed in my collection of books...I found 'Duma Key' and just started it. I like that it's about an artist...me being an artist.

I hope it makes me pee my pants.:oh:

[Shasta]

A second copy of Just After Sunset to use for book research.

[marty's lot]

I had to replace my worn out copy of The Talisman...hmm, my original hb of It is still hanging in there. Must be the work of the turtle.

[Countrygirl_sass]

I picked up Bag of Bones & Cell, and before that I picked up From a Buick 8, Lisey's Story(which I still have not finished), & Everythings Eventual. Getting started on a nice little collection of Mr. Kings books! Can't wait to get the new book in Nov. It sound like a good book.:grinning:

[Goodlovin]

I have Night Shift, Skeleton Key that I bought when I was young and they are buried in my book collection in my moms basement. It could be quite the challenge to find them. I was at the library and decided to pick those two up so they are at my place. I also picked up Hearts in Atlantis which is one of the two or three books of his that I have no read.

[rose key]

I just pre-ordered a collector's edition of Under the Dome. I got it on Amazon on sale. It was selling for $75.00 and I was prepared to pay that for it, but they have it for 47.50! If anyone else wants one, it'd be a good idea to order one soon, as they are only printing a certain number of them.

[The Mangler]

I'm busy replacing my old NEL covers with brand new Hodder covers, and completed the collection the other day. I bought:

Misery
Cujo
Rose Madder
Carrie
Pet Sematary
Gerald's Game
The Green Mile
On Writing
The Dark Half
Different Seasons
Four Past Midnight
The Bachman Books
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
Black House

Needless to say, the old copies were taken to the PDSA down the road for others to discover and enjoy!

:)

[Rosethorn]

I made the terrible mistake of joining a book club.
Okay, it was a great idea in essence but THERE GOES THE MILK MONEY!

I recently purchased every book I could research that ties into the Dark Tower series. I think it was 8-9 books in all that I've found so far

[jchanic]

I've got the UK proof of Under the Dome (#143 of 200) coming to me. I should have it by the end of next week.

John

[Micke]

[chillbill]

Last Stephen King related purchase recently was a copy of Faithful signed by Stewart O'Nan. Found it at Hastings for $5.

[pixiedark]

I recently purchased The Stephen King Universe gift edition and From a Buick 8 gift edition from Albris.com!:biggrin2: I have been wanting these books FOREVER! I love these books and they are going to make my SK collection complete!

[robdraggoo]

I have been searching used book and second hand stores and picking up hardback and paper back copies. I think there are 56 novels and short story collections in all but I might be mistaken. I am currenlty only missing 19 books. I cheated with The bachman books as its 4 novels in one. I dont think Ive ever seen a hard back copy of Carrie or Salems lot so they maybe hard for me to get. Im hoping to get all that I can in hardback.

[Tayholdem]

Last week I purchased a mint first edition/printing of Dolores Claiborne at a veterans museum that was have a used book sale. Do you know what the best part was???:eyebrow: I got it for 1 dollar!!!!!:biggrin2:

[Jonahwriter]

Does anyone have a copy of the UK Dome proof for sale? Or can anyone tell me where one goes to look for these!!

[Necaur]

I bought the hardcover of IT for 5$. In basically brand new condition too. I'm happy. things massive...

[Moderator]

Does anyone have a copy of the UK Dome proof for sale? Or can anyone tell me where one goes to look for these!!



Proofs are not for sale and anyone doing so is violating their agreement with the publisher to only be using it for review purposes. If you are writing a legitimate review, get in touch with the publisher and ask for an ARC. :eyebrow:

[knghtmare]

I recently finally got a 1st edition Wizard and Glass, Grant published, off of ebay. I have a first edition of all but two of the Dark Tower Series books now. The other two, Gunslinger 3rd edition and The Drawing of the Three 2nd edition.

[The Mangler]

The partner picked up Cujo and Rose Madder from the store where they were being held, under chain link fences and barbed wire for me!

:D

[Lina]

Yesterday I bought The Dark Half and Insomnia.

[Tayholdem]

I bought The Running Man yesterday and just finished it. I couldn't put it down. I love that it has nothing to do with the movie because the movie sucked the big one:down:.:oo:

[psj77]

I preorderd Under The Dome (1st & Collectors edition from amazon.com. I paid $70.35 for both. Now if only amazon had the signed edition & wristbands for the atlanta signing...WELL I CAN DREAM CAN'T I!!!!:glare:

[Kim L.]

Latest comic-book installments for The Fall of Gilead (Dark Tower) and The Stand. Yummy.

[kingfanalaska09]

It on DVD

[plgordon]

Like many I'm sure, My latest purchase was Just After Sunset, I wish it was that Two book Set on E-bay (Desperation and The Regulators) Signed copies and all, but $950 is steep! Not quite as steep as $17.000 for that copy of Salems lot though. I both wish I could afford that, and wouldn't know what to do with it.

[jchanic]

I just pre-ordered Tin House #40 with King's new poem: Mostly Old Men.

http://www.amazon.com/Tin-House-Tenth-Anniversary-Issue/dp/0982054211/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250008671&sr=1-1

[chillbill]

Ok, I got one that I don't know if it's on here anywhere or not. I haven't read all of the listings I'll be honest.

I also picked up the three newest audiobooks on cd "Dolan's Cadillac", "House On Maple Street", and "Chattery Teeth" as well as the the hardback copies of Treachery and Long Road Home of the Dark Tower comic book series.

[ChaseTx]

The Bachman Books paperback, published 1986 I think

[idahocaligirl]

I bought Eye of the Dragon today new, after failing to find anything in the used book store that I didn't already own. I then proceeded to my favorite movie rental store and rented The Mist (which I have yet to read) All in all, it was a very good day to curl up with Mr. King.

[JRM]

Latest? I bought Black House, From a Buick 8 (I think that's what it's called), and Gerald's Game.

[Father Callahan]

I bought the Lisa Rogak Biography on Stephen called "Haunted Heart". I am splitting reading time between that book and Firestarter at the moment. I love both.

[kingricefan]

Just Picked up the hardback collection from Marvel comics of The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home at Barnes & Noble for only $6.98!!! They also had some copies of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born in hardback for the same price, still in shrinkwrap. Gotta love those remainder tables!!

[odienz]

today i got the gem of my collection. it is a 1993 hodder and stoughton edition of nightmares and dreamscapes. it is in a dark green slip case and the book is in the same dark green. on the front cover there is an imprint of a child like creature with wings. the best part is that it is signed by stephen king!!! it was a lucky find in a small rare book shop. i can gaurantee there is no other limited editions like this for sale in new zealand. you may wonder how much it put me back, but it was only $76.50 NZD which is $50.44USD! it is the most I have paid for a SK book so far but it was worth it. I also bought Just after sunset normal hardcover edition off ebay as well.

[crinva]

not to rain on your parade but hte signature is a facsimile signature. Believe me I know, I have this book.

[Mary Strickland]

I ordered "On Writing" and it should be here today or tomorrow. Also, pre-ordered "Under the Dome" so I can finally quit worrying about it.

[demorgan]

[Izomontreal]

[pamela32824]

Duma Key! Still trying to find out why Secretary of Dreams is so danged expensive tho!!!

[kingricefan]

Duma Key! Still trying to find out why Secretary of Dreams is so danged expensive tho!!!

Secretary of dreams is so worth the price!! It's a limited edition (and so far the ONLY edition) of this book from Cemetary Dance. The illustrations by artist Glen Chadborne are excellant and complement each and every story in this volume. It's an oversized book too, larger than the regular books you can find at the local bookstore. If you're thinking about getting a copy, just do it as you won't be disappointed. :smile2:

[Lina]

Yesterday I purchased Duma Key.

[JosephDurham]

I just purchased a first edition Hardback with dust jacket copy of Carrie in near mint condition.

An absolute awesome addition to the collection.

[kingricefan]

Go back and check around, I found the hardback edition of The Long Road Home for the same price a couple of weeks ago. There was only one copy left, but they still had about 8 copies of The Gunslinger Born. Go figure.....:smile2:

[plgordon]

I'm very happy to say that my most recent King purchase was a pair of tickets to the Manchester Vermont book tour event.:biggrin2:

[chillbill]

We're All In This Together 1st edition signed by Owen King (ok it's not Stephen but it's Owen). I'm only missing an autograph from Tabitha (which I know I can find from Overlook Connection) and Naomi (which I don't know where I'm gonna find one at) to have all the living King family members autographs.

[mad_hatter]

I found myself a hardcover copy of Needful Things at a garage sale. $1-3? It's in beautiful condition and makes a nice book end! :laugh:

[Vladimos]

My most recent purchase was at a library sale. It was amazing, all you had to do was fill up a paper bag with books and you paid 5 dollars for it. I got Eyes of the dragon, Pet Semetary, misery, it, the dead zone, cell, the tommyknockers, thinner, on writing, dream catcher, and the talisman all for 5 bucks in hardcover. Also picked up Rushdie's Satanic Verses in hardcover at the same time. It was a great day. I love living in a small town.

[teejay17]

My most recent was American Nightmares # 5. I'm following the series faithfully, and even though I've already read the source material twice.
Next up will probably be the next story arc of comic in October, and probably the first issue of The Talisman as well, also in October.

[Tayholdem]

I just purchased a copy of ANTAEUS. It has the novella "Blind Willie" in it. If anybody knows if this was a good find feel free to comment.:oo:

[Velswab]

I am noob here.
Not noob to the Masterful SK
I believe i now own one copy of each published work he has produced to my knowledge as SK,
and a few as Bachman.

I purchased the bulk this year.
It was after reading the four novels I owned but had not read, in less than two weeks, that I bought the rest,
and began writing. These purchases were made @ Amazon.com and also local bookstores, (original hardback first ed. first printing Christine for ten bucks!):)
as well as DAV stores(hardbacks for $0.50!) woah!
I am reading book 6 of the DT series now.

My life is in difficulty now.
I am writing,
but my computer/work space is in a hallway between the fu&n kitchen and living room.

My first passion is guitar.
my guitar gear is in the living room.

I dont need to describe in detail to any sure SK reader,
that this is unacceptable.

To make it worse,
my 'genius' wife seems to have no care, or any f'n clue,
as to any problem presented by these facts,
and so while I tried to work on a short story i have been editing and polishing for over three months,
she busted out with a truly hideous piano piece which uses no sharps or flats, and played it loud.

argh!@!!!!!!!!!!!

damnit.
I need a grant in order to purchase work space to continue my work,
or i will have to get a job,
which i am not good at keeping.

Cheers!

Now, how cool is that ?

I bought a new copy of Wizzard and Glass, had a old one and it bothered me that it was second hand...and since I`m almost done with " Wastelands " and W&G is next, I wanna read a book that no hand has touched yet before mine.

Silly, I know, but hey, that`s how much we love Steve.:)

[Becks19]

I just wanted to say hello to everyone here, since this is my first post. My last Stephen King related purchase was Duma Key. Great book! Now I am working on Firestarter.
