Half Price Books always has Stephen King hardcovers on sale for $3! Selection is always changing too. Though I'm not sure the oldest ones are very likely to be that price

[Gillie]

Not technically a purchase, but the other day, while going through a old box & found my original 6 paperbacks of "The Green Mile" :smile2:

[DaveN]

Kingdom Hospital DVDs.

[bookworm101]

A tee-shirt that says " everything I ever needed to know I learned from Stephen King " from cafepress

[KingIsKing]

I just purchased It. I'm quite new to Stephen King so I am just beginning to purchase SK books. I have read Insomnia, Desperation, Misery and The Shining so far. I'm reading Pet Sematary right now. His books are brilliant!:smile2:

Just pre-ordered Under The Dome from the Walmart website at the incredible price of 8.99 + tax and free shipping included!!! Less than $10 for a brand new SK book!! It seems that Walmart, Target and Amazon (Ammie doesn't have free shipping though, except on orders over $25) are having price wars on books and are rapidly dropping prices to get the sales. At these prices, they're losing money but they figure they'll make up for it by customers buying other items from their sites. So, if you want to pro-order the new John Grisham, Dean Koontz or Sarah Palin books and only pay $8.99 + tax and free shipping, then head over to their sites and check 'em out!!

Hi,

My thoughts exactly John!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[fredo]

A few weeks ago a good friend called saying his lady was dragging him around to yard sales. I said I was sorry. He asked if I still read King. I said yep, and he said he was looking at a box of King's hardbacks, would I be interested? Sure, I told him, bring them over. I had some of the titles in HB, but not all. I won't bore you with the details, except to say "Night Shift" has the introduction by John D. MacDonald (my hero), which I slobbered over, and "The Stand" is the unabridged copy. The happy part is I paid only one dollar apiece for the twenty two books. I hugged his lady. I love happy endings.

[ChaseTx]

stopped at a comic book store before work to buy The Talisman #0

[91rewoT]

A coffee mug with Dark Tower sayings on it...I used it twice, then accidentally broke the handle...but not to worry! It now makes a nice pen holder on my desk.

[kingricefan]

Yesterday I picked up the new Comic editions of The Talisman and The Stand.

[prettiwiccan]

I got a hardcover copy of Black House at a yardsale for $.50! One of the few I didn't have yet!

[Tayholdem]

Yesterday I picked up the Mass market PB of Just after sunset. The extended except from UTD was awesome. Can't what to see what happens to Barbie next!!!!

[guido tkp]

UTD: having won a wallyworld card in a contest...i just couldn't resist plonking down the whole 50 smackers for a bunch of the $9 new releases, king & others (1 for me, 3 for the wife: and i still get more readable pages than hers combined !)..

it is...

gulp...

my 1st ever internet buy of any type

i have sold by bookstore-loving soul for the want of saving a few $$

[Spideyman]

Brand new Tee shirts for the book signing event from CafePress-StephenKing Store. Get to look good and help the Haven Foundation too.

[hapijoyo]

Found 4 hardbacks & 6 paperbacks at a garage sale about a month ago, all for about $6.00! Deal of the century! Read them all before but some are replacements for books that I read till they fell apart.

[judythegeek]

:) My husband spoils me so damn much!!
I just pre-ordered the Under The dome Collector's Set and Under The Dome hardback!
And I ordered The First Four in the Dark Tower TPB, and I am looking for the rest of the series in TPB.
:)
On another, yet related subject: I was at my local bookstore yesterday, and I asked the self proclaimed "avid King reader" clerk about Richard Bachman...
She "had never heard of him"!!!! Do I live in Desperation? WTF? It's not like he was outed yesterday?? Today I go out searching in this same town, for a New Yorker magazine, a sarcastic, intelligent piece of publishing. Do you think I will find it?:oops:

[Jojo87]

I order month ago a hooded sweatshirt from Cafepress-StephenKing store. That's my favorit sweatshirt at this moment.

[ComeUntoSweetDeath]

Pre-Ordered Under the Dome :biggrin2:

[odienz]

i just bought (still waiting on delivery) an old paperback edition of the long walk in good condition!!

just received it and its in awesome condition! turns out its a first edition UK paperback and there is one on ebay for 75 UK pounds and i would have paid around 4 UK pounds for it!

[Matthew.Degnan]

well I pre-ordered Under the Dome.

[Natjen26]

I succumbed :D

and pre-ordered Under The Dome!

[DerryBlues]

mine was an ARC of Duma Key UK I'm on a budget. I love the advance copies. I espercially love the odd ones. Like the the notebook with SK's hand writing with Dreamcatcher. That is by far my favorite. Oh and the UK galley of Bag of Bones. Beautiful!

[chillbill]

I WON a first edition copy of Under the Dome from the contest on stephenkingcollector.com

[CRFTony]

I pre ordered Under the Dome too. :)

Also, today I bought a couple magazines with Stephen King stories in them. Does anyone else collect those?

[ChaseTx]

Just ordered Eyes of the Dragon and 'Salem's Lot this weekend on eBay. I'm disappointed Under The Dome didn't arrive today. It shipped out on Thursday.

[Tayholdem]

I just picked up Under the Dome at the bookstore down the road from my work!!!! Now I must get to work and start reading:biggrin2:.

[Steebin131]

Bag of Bones 10 Anniv. Edition, will be purchasing Under the Dome tomorrow for the signing :)

[delores 74]

Picked up On Writing (HC) in a used bookstore a few weeks ago for $4, and will be buying UTD tomorrow for the signing.

[Anton177]

Just bought Under The Dome... I was working so much lately I didn't even know it had been released until I saw a bookshop advert on television. I went straight to amazon and bought one.

A bit disappointed I couldn't get my hands on a collector's edition with the fancy cover over here in the UK and besides, bit pricey for my current situation. I'll make do with the H+S hardcover. :)

I haven't been able to read a thing the past two months... hopefully this book will change that! Will be looking to purchase Duma Key sometime in the future.

[odienz]

picked up under the dome US hardcover!

[jchanic]

I've managed to get two different photocopied manuscripts of Cycle of the Werewolf. One has hand-written corrections, while the other incorporates those corrections in the typescript.

I also have been able to get two copies of the signed limited UK edition of Under the Dome!

John

[smjohn]

I received my UtD last week from the SK Library! I'm lovin' it!

[Nutty Bavarian]

I bought UTD, Cujo, Thinner, aaaaaaand Marvel's HArdback copy of The Stand graphic novel :D

[Srbo]

S/L collectors edition form Scribner and waiting for a special traycase that cemeterydance makes for this edition.

A lot of dough, but at least I`ll keep it forever, through good and bad times.
I promised so.:smile2:

[Dr.Who]

Back House and Under the Dome, both from Audible last week for my daily 2 hour commute. Wish they had no DRM so i could lend them to my father..

[JayneH]

I have my two copies of UTD that arrived a day apart ... interesting side note .... it is STILL not in the bookstores at the local shopping centre !!!! Thank goodness for the Internet !!

Also, just bought some Audio Books (again from the internet) and found a whole new way of experiencing Stephen's books. Found it quite amazing to hear him read some of his own stories .....

[Randwill]

My latest was Under The Dome, such a great book! Couldn't put it down. I enjoyed it so much that I feel like reading it again sometime soon.

[Haunted]

Bought two copies of UTD. One for signing and saving and the other for reading.:biggrin2: YAHOOOOOOO

[ChaseTx]

I bought Desperation, Insomnia, 'Salem's Lot, Night Shift, Firestarter, Bachman Books, Bag of Bones, Needful Things, Danse Macabre, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, & Pet Sematary for about $20 altogether on eBay. All hardcovers

[odienz]

[dwspell]

[dubisaxel]

Insomnia, but I'm going to get the Bachman books today :)

[Luli]

The latest comic books & The Stand American Nightmares Hardcover edition.

[kingricefan]

I found Nightmares and Dreamscapes, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Needful Things, and Insomnia all in HC for $2 a piece at Half Price Books, i love there clearence

I love Half Price also!! I hit their King section first after I enter the store, then check their clearance section as they always have some kind of King items there. I once found a not-too-beat-up original paperback 1st printing of The Running man on the clearance rack for $.75!!! Can't beat that, right??

[kingricefan]

The Eyes of the Dragon S/L. :biggrin2:

I have a copy of this one too. It's a gorgeous book! I've been watching the prices fall on Ebay, their going for almost half of what I paid four years ago!! I hope you got a good price on yours. Merry Christmas to you, right? :biggrin2: Word of advice, hold the slipcase on the spine with the opening pointing down towards the ground and let gravity pull the book out for you (with a hand positioned underneath to catch the book coming out), that way you'll not end up with the usual wear to the bottom edges of the book. I've seen quite a few copies that are now showing this particular problem. Enjoy your book! Oh, see if you can find the extra chapter too!

[JRM]

I just bought 4 DT books off Amazon . . . Though I'm going to have to return them right when I get them; just found out they're mass market paperback. :eyebrow:

I was hoping they would be Trade paperback. I should have known the deal was too good to be true, lol.

[Sam Catoe]

Unfortunately, while I did get a good price, the slipcase was pretty beat up, more so than was represented in the auction. But I still have a copy of a S/L that I have been chasing for more than a decade.

I'll keep my eyes open for the extra chapter. I've read the book numerous times and hope it should stand out.

[sprinco12]

Pet Semetary, almost two weeks ago.

[kingricefan]

I'll keep my eyes open for the extra chapter. I've read the book numerous times and hope it should stand out.

That chapter actually doesn't really stand out. It's a small one in which Flagg kills someone. Very easy to overlook. I took some time and compared the limited ed. with the trade edition, going thru it page by page. It's towards the back where Flagg is fleeing the castle.

[Natjen26]

Under The Dome, of course.. but it hasn't yet been delivered.
They said patience is a virtue, well I'm about ready to enter a convict, as it is. :D

[jprendable]

under the dome (2 collectors and a regular) and a can of duma key tennis balls found at yard sale of all places...very excited about that one..

[JohnDalglish]

They said patience is a virtue, well I'm about ready to enter a convict, as it is. :D

Hi,

Harsh penal regime in Belgium then, isn't it? LOL

Long days and pleasant nights

[PatInTheHat]

Oh drat & bother, talk about being embareassed & not just a little bummed out:down:.
I thought I just bought a hot new line of designer SK boxer shorts..yeah pretty freakin' :cool2: huh?
I guess I was lookin' at 'em upside down, 'cause as it turns out, they're just King Size :glare:...they'll never fit, I gots no butt:blush:.

[lemieux66c]

I was in Toronto on Nov 19th to attend Stephen Kings Under The Dome reading.. While I was there I hit some local bookstores and found Cycle of The Werewolf New in the Indigo store to add to my collection. I bought an extra copy for my buddy as a Christmas gift. I wasn't lucky enough to win one of the books at the King Event, so I bought an autographed copy from a guy who won one there today and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive by mail. This will be my first king autographed book for my collection. Now if I could only find a good copy of The Colorado Kid.

[Mr. Palmer]

I treasure my Stephen King autographed copy of INSOMNIA. It was such a pleasure to meet Sai King.

[Rain Dog]

I have bought all the Dark Tower books for the Kindle

[kingricefan]

Just bought The Stephen KIng Illustrated Companion by Bev Vincent at B&N for $24.98. I HIGHLY recommend that any SK fan get this book as it contains tons of cool stuff, like reproductions of the actual manuscripts (pages, of course, not the entire thing) of The Stand, The Shine (Shining) among others. I didn't even know this book existed till yesterday! There are also pics of SK from his childhood that I hadn't seen before and lots of other photos too. There's even reproductions of The Drum, a school paper that has a very rare story in it (The 43rd Dream). Thanks to Bev Vincent for bringing this to us fans!!

[Roou*]

[Mary Strickland]

I went to Half Price Books today and got The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, The Dark Half, Lisey's Story and Everything's Eventual.

I didn't realize there were so many I missed during raising children. Let the bad weather come---I'm ready.

[Natjen26]

That would be Under The Dome.
Quite a hassle.
I had pre-ordered it, but never got it, so I cancelled the order and got it last thursday in the store. I'm relieved I have it while still in holiday. :)

[kingricefan]

Purchased the Knowing Darkness book off of Amazon, it's looking like it'll be delivered today (according to the tracking info anyway). Can't wait to get my hands on this one!

[Matthew.Degnan]

Sleepwalkers DVD-- thought the film wasn't very good but King was entertaining in it as the graveyard keeper--- there are also cameos from John Landis and Joe Dante

[DancingCorpse]

I got Under the Dome in a beautifully designed blue and purple tinged hardback edition :D :D

[Raoul Duke]

Blaze (Hardcover)
Cell

[marv4213]

My girlfriend (god bless her) bought me The Stephen King companion for christmas this year. I have the old one, but this one, by Bev Vincent, totally rocks. It is hardcover, oversized and contains pages from his old school newspaper from back in the day, notes on various books with editors comments and such. It even has a copy of the telegraph he recieved when carrie was purchased. You have to check this out. I didn't know it even existed until Christmas morning. My personal latest purchases have been Under The Dome (which I loved and finished in about five days) and earlier in the year I got the donald grant slipcase version of Little Sisters of Eluria.

[Trueivy]

Stephen King On Writing, which I love :love:

[JohnDalglish]

Just bought the revised edition of The Gunslinger from e-bay...kind of apprehensive about reading it, since I've read the original countless times...

Hi,

Good point there, I've long felt that DT ALREADY consists of eight books, starting with The Gunslinger and with The Gunslinger Revised as the eighth.

Ka is a wheel.

Long days and pleasant nights

[I Am the Walrus]

Finally picked up "Just After Sunset." Great collection of stories. :smile2:

[Locnar1]

My latest purchases are :Carrie original bookclub edition for $3.00 , The Shining mini series for $5.34, and IT in hardcover for $4.

this weekend I'm going to a Secondhand shop to buy Hardcovers of Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, and The Shining (not sure if they are first editions, but they are definitely to large to be book club editions, none of those three have prices on the flaps) So I'm wondering what exactly they are, other than hardcovers.

[Marianne]

I just bought Under the Dome and can't wait to get started!

[Mr. Palmer]

I received STEPHEN KING: THE NON-FICTION.

Very nice large book. I'm interested to learn more about Sai King's earlier writing days.

[xxitsrynxx0]

Just ordered The Green Mile in hardcover from borders.com.
Slowly but surely, I am working on getting all of Stephen's books in hardcover=]

[Goodlovin]

On writing about a month ago that I still haven't started.

I recently (a few months back) watched Delores Claiborne on HBO or something and just loved the movie and even made my fiance watch it and she loved it as well.

I always forget to go to the store to grab it though because I am wanting to read it badly.

[Jenn*]

My lastest purchase of SK was under The Dome for $30 at the book store.

[Gillie]

Just got UR in the mail on CD - sweet! :upside:

The Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind t-shirt.

[sprinco12]

The weekend after my birthday (in January) I went to a bookstore that sells new and used books in Sturgis, Michigan and bought a little over $43 worth of Stephen King books (about 13 books or so).

[Raoul Duke]

Desperation
The Regulators

both first edition hardcovers

[frisbee]

Just downloaded UR on my Kindle and loved it!

[Jenn*]

I went to a local used book store yesterday, just checking things out and happen to stumble on the collectors edition of Firestarter. I paid $7.00 for it, pretty good deal, I say.

[Snaggletooth]

Got the Blu-ray DVD of the Mist. Pretty intense, I'd say.

[Christiane17]

I bought Duma Key, and I'm now reading it. So far, it's worth each penny I spent. :smile2:

[psj77]

I just got Shooter Jennings new album Black Ribbons. It's a great album.

[odienz]

[jchanic]

I should get my copy of the ARC of Blockade Billy by next week or so. I can't wait!

(I've also ordered a copy from Cemetary Dance).

John

[CurtSeattle]

Just got a few things!! Okay, too many things...I'm broke, but happy...

My traycased Knowing Darkness is sitting on my kitchen table. This has to be the most amazing book I have ever seen visually. It is around 25 lbs!@! Was very expensive, but I have to say just outstandingly done. Can't be more happy. Literally sitting on my kitchen table though as I have no idea where to put it b/c it's HUGE and I don't just want to put it in a box in the closet. hahaha!

Ordered the new baseball one too...can't wait to put my shiny new baseball card in my case with the other collectible SK stuff!

Also recently got a set of the Colorado Kid Artist editions with remarques by each artist in their respective book which I like.

Still need a 1st/1st of Night Shift and also Salem's Lot, but am too broke to get them. :( Not giving up though!!

[odienz]

I should get my copy of the ARC of Blockade Billy by next week or so. I can't wait!

(I've also ordered a copy from Cemetary Dance).

John

how do you go about getting ARC's?

[bopropadop]

Robin Furth's signed, special edition Dark Tower Concordance from Cemetery Dance. Just arrived yesterday. Beautiful! Also, the first two volumes of The Stand graphic novels which should arrive today.

[Srbo]

how do you go about getting ARC's?

I`m pretty sure you have to be member of Cemetary Dance and at the beginning of a calendar year you pay a fee, like 10 bucks or something, and then you qualify to purchase an ARC of an upcoming book that they will publish during that year.
Might not be 100% accurate, but it is something along those lines.

[Becks19]

I now have ( courtesy of my husband) Misery and The Dark Half that he spent 4 dollars total for and Misery is a 1st Edt. how lucky is that? Blockade Billy sounds good.........isn't SK good at tempting you with his Characters mysterious dark secrets?? Makes you just have to read that book!

[Mary Strickland]

"UR" - Kindle for PC download for $3. Lasted about an hour, but satisfied my curiousity. OK for a novella, but for a novel, I have to have a real book.

[odienz]

my hardcover colorado kid that i bought in december finally arrived!!!!!!

[JayzinSmith]

Pre-ordered Blockade Billy.

How many people are ordering more than one, and will just hold onto the extra copies to sell in about five years? Gotta get that baseball card.

[Tayyab Saeed]

I recently bought Just after sunset( french version... Juste avant le crépuscule). It sold for more than $30.00 in many libraries, but I got my copy at one of those big surface stores for just over $20.00. I love the shining cover!!!

[JayneH]

woo hoo - Blockade Billy will be on his way to me by the end of the month !!!! :love:

[jchanic]

This is not true, unfortunately! (I kind of specialize in King proofs/ARCs). I get mine from contacts here in the US and in the UK. I've spent a lot of time (and money) cultivating these contacts. If you're interesting in seeing my collection of proofs, check out:

http://thedarktower.com/palaver/showthread.php?t=6011

I also started a thread that, in the first post, lists all the proofs/ARCs that I know of by Stephen King:

I try to keep this thread as up-to-date as possible, but I'm sure there are errors, etc. there.

I picked up a DVD last week.

The Shawshank Redemption.

I'm going to go and watch it in a few minutes, since my man is away for the day and I can laze around and really have a day off work.

[Christiane17]

I have pre-ordered Blockade Billy. I so want that baseball card! Since it's a limited offer, I wonder how much the baseball card will be worthed in a few years. Anyway, I would not sell it. :wink2:

And, I suppose I really should be ordering that XL t-shirt for Srbo pretty soon...

Ahem...still waiting.:D

[gniknehpets]

I'm sorry Srbo that you didn't get your shirt yet but I did get my surprise from her! She found a copy of the revised Gunslinger for me! I can't wait to sit down and devour this book. Don't I have the best sis?

[~Ally~]

Today I bought my third copy of TGWLTG.
One copy disappeared, I left the second in Greece and now I have another which I plan on holding onto.
I really have a soft spot for this story, and Trisha.

I also bought The Dark Half DVD. Never seen it before so should be an experience, good or bad.

[Kim L.]

The latest-issue comics of N., American Vampire, The Stand, and The Talisman
Waiting for Blockade Billy to arrive
Preordered Full Dark, No Stars

[MikeB]

I've just pre-ordered the audiobooks of It, The Tommyknockers and Christine from Amazon here in the UK. Cost lots but I know Audible.co.uk will either never get them or it will be ages until they do. How I wish I could access the US version of Audible! Now when is that audio version of The Stand going to appear??

[Srbo]

I'm sorry Srbo that you didn't get your shirt yet but I did get my surprise from her! She found a copy of the revised Gunslinger for me! I can't wait to sit down and devour this book. Don't I have the best sis?

You sure do have the best sister.
Gotta check my family tree to find out if I am somehow your brother.:D

My latest SK purchases have been audiobooks - Danse Macabre and Needful Things.

Just got Rose Madder, Dolores Claiborne, (both HC) and The Tommyknockers (PB) for less then $9 at a thrift shop! (That price also included two R.L. Stine PBs - not for me!)

[woodpryan]

My last Stephen King purchase was to buy a first edition of "The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of The Three" on ebay for a pretty reasonable price. I was very pleased.

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.

I have not purchased anything since the publication of Under the Dome.

[LivingDeadGirl89]

Stephen King has been my favorite author since I was in 6th grade. I recently bought Pet Sematary on DVD. I then got the book and a hardback of Carrie.

[Lepplady]

Bought Blockade Billy yesterday. Read the whole thing in under an hour. It's brilliant to have even a brief visit from Sai King. Like having an old friend drop by for tea. :laugh:

[kingricefan]

Scrib's edition of Blockade Billy today.

[Tayholdem]

I have finally purchased a first edition of Wizards & Glass. I have been waiting for an inexpensive copy. This book seems to have blown up in price for some reason with some copies going for $100+ but I got a copy for less than half that shipping included! So I am very happy!:biggrin2:

Also picked up S&S copy of Blockade Billy and plan on reading it tonight! Can't Wait!!!!:laugh:

Blockade Billy, Scribner, last week. Taking my time because it's so short!

[catnoel]

Blokcade Billy!!! I really liked it. Stephen King can make anything interesting. Morality gave me the creeps for real!!! I felt unsettled for the rest of the day!!!

[SarahLouise]

Late post, but about two weeks ago I went on one heck of a book buying spree!! :biggrin2:

King-wise, I got:
Cujo
The Bachman Books
Everything's Eventual
Different Seasons
Cell

I was carrying more around the store but I'll have to go back for them!!

And I bought the Secret Window dvd the other day.

[kyleckm]

i just bought thinner and pet semetary the movie :eek2:

[blunthead]

Just purchased The Dark Tower, Book VII, used Grant edition, 2004. I have Grant Wolves of the Calla and Song of Susannah, as well, and really like owning these hardcovers. I read the aforementioned in record time, for me.

I'll probably read Under the Dome next, though I've got plenty yet to be read from which to choose. I'm savoring!

[Samantha_]

Blockade Billy

[kingricefan]

Just purchased the limited edition of The Regulators from Betts. Now I'm in the poorhouse!! If there's anything you need for your collection, head on over to Betts and talk to David. He has alot of rare King items on sale right now.

[gniknehpets]

First edition paperbacks of The Shining and Night Shift. I bought them on my haunted Wisconsin/King stuff tour with my sis which makes the books special.

[Jojo87]

I ordered Just After Sunset and It. Can't wait to start to reading them.

[dark score]

I just picked my copy of Under The Dome. Big Ass book....really looking forward to reading it.

[Kim L.]

Got some more comic books making their way via Pony Express.

[kyleckm]

i just bought a stephen king book mark today and the golden years (film):sleepy:

[mrsnye]

Just bought a 4-pack of SK movies. Rose Red, Desperation, Storm of the Century, and Riding the Bullet.

[S.K. Reader]

I bought Misery in the store new for about $5.00. I bought 8 more of his books online for the low price for around $21.00 used. These include; The Stand, The Dark Half, Firestarter, Salem's lot, and The Shining. :D

[scrollworkdesigns]

A tee-shirt that says " everything I ever needed to know I learned from Stephen King " from cafepress

I WANT!!! Totally getting that, thanks!

[scrollworkdesigns]

I just bought about 20 SK books on the Kindle b/c I have every last thing he's written in hardback but didn't have any on ebook. Fixed that problem right up, now to fix my bank account!

[JulieD]

I recently bought "On Writing," my first and only SK book. I'm so impressed by and grateful for his advice and personal stories in it. Besides his technical advice, reading about his personal hardships and dues paid to get his career going were so validating.

I only wish I'd been in one of his UMaine classes! (I went to another school in New England at the time.)

Go Stephen! Thank you very much!

[Saeed-ul-Hassan]

My son bought The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition yesterday. He told me that he had The Stand before, too, but it was the "Original Version", which came out in '78.

[ItFan]

My most recent SK purchases are copies of Rose Madder, Gerald's Game, The Regulators, Dolores Claiborne and The Eyes of the Dragon (yes, all at the same time!).

I'm hoping to talk my mum and dad into buying me a Constant Reader hoodie for my birthday next month so that'll be next on my list of SK stuff!

[KJ Norrbotten]

Under the Dome paperback edition, after which I decided to refresh my German language skills. I purchased "Friedhof der Kuscheltiere" (Pet Sematary) in a paperback and a CD. Turned out the CD is not an audio book but a radio play. Now I'm stuck with 3 hours of not so easy to follow play, plus I need dictionary for, like every second word of the book, as well.

[howibrokemyhead]

I was in this crazy used book store, that was actually in an old house, and the whole place is just floor to ceiling books, the whole way up the stairs, books... everywhere! Books! It was great... but I actually found a copy of Danse Macabre (which is amazing, I've never even seen a copy of that book before) and also a random quiz book of Stephen Kings works.
I think both books were like 2$??

I was very happy with the find :)

[theStandLover]

The last book I bought was a hardcover edition of Lisey's Story that was in "new" condition from a used book sale being held at our local library! Only paid $2.00 for it!

That book is really, really good.

[JellybeanJay]

I bought Lisey's Story and Everything's Eventual in hardcover at a garage sale for $1.00 each and I don't think they have even been cracked open!

[MetalINPA]

Gerald's Game, The Regulators, and Eyes of the Dragon are all AWESOME!! Eyes of the Dragon especially, because it's not his standard work. Enjoy!

[skyrow]

Hardback of The regulators at a second hand store for $3.99!

[JamesMWatts]

Just after Sunset and Under The Dome. I am excited as kid in a candy store lol. I have been reading King since I was like 10(34 now) and he is the reason I wrote my first book and the reason for the second and probably every book that follows.

[blunthead]

Just ordered UTD, used hardback from Half.com. Can't wait!

[Delbert_Grady]

Though technically a gift, one of my co-workers bought me a copy of "Everything's Eventual" for my birthday a few days back. I had already read a few of the tales in my Mom's copy, but am happy to have one of my own. I have always considered King's short work to be some of his best (I think I have actually purchased three copies of "Night Shift" over the years!) and look forward to reading them.

But first, "Under The Dome" awaits completion.

[odienz]

just got paperback utd so that i can finally read it without damaging my hardcover version

[king family fan]

My latest purchase is through Cemetary Dance and it is a years membership. It has several items in it. I can"t wait to receive it. I also purchased a one print it tee-shirt through them. so waiting patiently. I also like to go to yard sales and look for SK items.

[Dhasek]

I finally broke down and purchased "Knowing Darkness," the massive collection of art and other stuff from Mr. King's novels, short stories, and films. I am so excited. Should be getting it in the mail tomorrow!! cant wait!!

[urrutiap]

The past week last week I was out of town for a few days for some shopping.

Went to the usual Waldenbooks store in the mall and bought myself one paperback of Stephen King's Christine Novel and used my borders card.

also I noticed that the new paperback version of the Gunslinger is expensive at 15 bucks. What the hell?

[Silent Echoes]

There's a shop near town that sells a bunch of used books. There's a whole section of nothing but SK books. I bought The Tommyknockers, Thinner, and Misery. In fact, these are the only SK items that I own. I decided I should check out his work because some of the movies are really great, and my sister is a big fan. So, the only SK book I've read so far is Thinner, but I see a lot of Stephen King in my future. xD

[Srbo]

PB of one of the most powerful stories Steve has every written (even though I have "The Bachman Boks " already, but this one stands miles out, so I had to have it singled out)

Who doesn`t walk " The Long Walk " with Ray Garraty, is not walking at all.

[kingricefan]

I finally broke down and purchased "Knowing Darkness," the massive collection of art and other stuff from Mr. King's novels, short stories, and films. I am so excited. Should be getting it in the mail tomorrow!! cant wait!!

You're going to be absolutely blown away by this book!!!! It's an expensive item but well worth the money. Some of the artwork is simply amazing. And, you'll increase the size of your biceps just holding it!!:biggrin2:

[Dhasek]

you are so right!! It came in today and I have never seen a book like this!!! massive does not describe it!! this thing weighs like 25 pounds! really an amazing item! I highly suggest it to anyone who has been debating buying it like I did for so long. TOTALLY worth the money!!!

[PuppetHands]

I just started listening to IT on audiobook. Steven Weber does a respectable job of narrating. Some of his characterizations are spot on, and Bill's stuttering is rather convincing.

[Delbert_Grady]

Two gems from ebay:

A sealed brand new Desperation/Regulators set that comes with a "keep you up all night"-light from a late nineties promotion!!!

A used copy of STephen King reading "The Gunslinger" audiobook on cassestte for a lousy five bucks!

Now after I complete the Gunslinger (revised edition) I can go back and listen to the original read by the writin' dude himself.

[JohnDalglish]

Now after I complete the Gunslinger (revised edition) I can go back and listen to the original read by the writin' dude himself.
Hi,

I've always felt that DT is eight books, starting with The Gunslinger and finishing with The Gunslinger (revised).

Terrific purchases, you must be delighted, I just re-read Desperation (brlliant) and I started The Regulators last night and I've seen the set you mention -tres cool!

Long days and pleasant nights

[Shoesalesman]

Storm Of The Century on VHS and The Tommyknockers series on DVD.
Both were $2.99 each, brand new in the wrapper. Can't complain about that price!

[Agincourt Concierge]

the UK editions of Misery and Skeleton Crew... so very cool

[Sundrop]

I bought this really bizarre looking clown at the local antique shop....kinda made me think of Pennywise
I'll probably keep it stores in a trunk......in the attic......with double locks on the chest and on the attic door.

[psj77]

Just got my slipcase for Blockade Billy from CD. Looks great.

[MIKEY]

First edition paperbacks of The Shining and Night Shift. I bought them on my haunted Wisconsin/King stuff tour with my sis which makes the books special.

I lied, I don't have a quote, but this is the only way I could find to reply to this Wisconsinite. I live in S.E. Wisconsin & was wondering what you your WI/King tour included??:eyebrow:

[jsurgener]

I got On Writing a few weeks ago.

[gniknehpets]

I lied, I don't have a quote, but this is the only way I could find to reply to this Wisconsinite. I live in S.E. Wisconsin & was wondering what you your WI/King tour included??:eyebrow:

Hey there Mikey, fellow Wisconsinite! Check out your profile page, I've given you a short version of our trip.

[waynekillick1]

i have recently bought Under The Dome. i will start reading it soon. lol

[deroche]

Won a first printing of "Creepshow" the 1982 graphic novel. I can't wait for it to arrive! I am so looking forward to reading it! :bat:

[Srbo]

Tray-case for my S/L edition of UtD from Cemetary Dance.
Beautiful.

[deroche]

Picked up "the Colorado Kid" at a local discount dime store in my neighborhood for only a dollar and a quarter. Although I've already read this I found it to be a collection piece to my beloved library of Steven King's books.

[Samantha_]

Pre-order of Full Dark, No Stars.

[randallFlaggfan1]

My latest SK-related purchase would have to be Blockade Billy.

[cat in a bag]

I read here on the board that Viking had put out The Dark Tower 1-4 in hardback, which somehow I missed when it happened, so I recently acquired them on ebay. I only had the Plume oversized softcover versions of them, and always wanted them in hardback, but can't really do the Grant versions, even though I would love to have them! Anyway, I am very pleased that I now have all 7 books in hardbacks, they look very pretty sitting together on my shelf.

[mojomofo]

It wasn't a purchase, but I am counting it; I recently received the audio of The Colorado Kid- excited to break out the tape deck and give it a listen!

[randallFlaggfan1]

It wasn't a purchase, but I am counting it; I recently received the audio of The Colorado Kid- excited to break out the tape deck and give it a listen!

That should be interesting, Mojo! Do you know who narrated it?

[Ranger_Strider]

I won a prize on the Stephen King Trivia Board (check it out, fun group). I got 'The Dark Half' in a hardback copy from the generous user Blunthead.
It shows once again, how cool and special this SKMB really is.
