Your latest Stephen King related purchase...

[Srbo]

Got the slipcase for Blockade Billy from CD the other day.
Beautiful.

[Lina]

I got the audiobooks It and Under the Dome not so long ago. Also yesterday I purchased Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

[mojomofo]

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

Jeffrey DeMunn. I haven't started it yet, waiting for my day off so I can get it all in one go.

[A Guest from Roanoke]

I've just recieved Under The Dome in the post today .... 100 pages in and it looks great.

[odienz]

Just picked up first US edition of From a Buick 8 to go with my English first edition.

[T2(BEATLOAF)]

Found Misery and Night Shift at the check out lane at my local grocery for 50 cents each!

[ChickenStu]

Just bought all 7 of The Dark Tower books from Amazon. Got an email to see they've been dispatched. Am awaiting them eagerly!

[zachjames]

I got Salem's Lot last Saturday, bought it on ebay in like new condition for a little under 20 bucks (original hardcover copy)

I have a brand new hardcover copy of Lisey's Story which should be here any day.

[Inspector Karamazov]

There was a booksale at my library, so I picked up hardcover copies of Cujo, One Past Midnight, and Dolores Clairborne for 25 cents each. It made me happy. :D

[E.Freemantle]

The Secretary of Dreams 2 Gift Edition is on its way cannot wait to pair it with the first one.!

[Ranger_Strider]

Not exaccl on topic, but I have a 1st edition of Wizard and Glass that is signed by Dave the illustrator.
I think that is pretty epic cool.
Rumor has it that W&G (the 1st Grant with the bullet-biter) was a low point in the initial release numbers.
I wonder if anyone knows why?
Was it because 'The Tommynockers' pissed off the critics so well?
Or because interest in the DTS just ebbed at the time?
Any thoughts?

[jchanic]

DT IV had 40,000 copies printed, the same as DT III. DT II had a print run of 30,000, while the first printing of DT I was 10,000, with another 10,000 in the second printing. DT IV seemed more scarce because it was the first time Donald M. Grant, the publisher, distributed them to a lot of the chain bookstores. It is assumed that a lot of these copies went to casual King readers (who kept them) instead of to the collectors, so the number offered in the aftermarket (eBay, etc.) was lower. Now, 13 years later, they command a slight premium over the other volumes, but nothing like they did seven years ago.

A copy signed by Dave McKean is a treasure, too!

John

[JellybeanJay]

I finally got my copy of DT 7. Now I can finally start the series!

[Sundrop]

When I was in LA, Caroline took me to this awesome little used book store called Dark Delicacies.
It's an entire book store dedicated to the horror genre.

I found and purchased a 1st Edition hardcover of Black House.
When I looked inside the cover, I found a card with Peter Straub's autograph......Not SK's, but still not too shabby :)

[gniknehpets]

I found the novel edition of The Green Mile at the Goodwill. I'm always digging around there hoping to find a signed book of his. Wouldn't that be amazing!

[kingricefan]

I found the novel edition of The Green Mile at the Goodwill. I'm always digging around there hoping to find a signed book of his. Wouldn't that be amazing!

I actually did find a signed hardback mint copy of Insomnia at a Value Village (same type of store as Goodwill) in a small town north of Seattle. How this book made it there is still a mystery to me, but hey, it was only $2.99 so I just couldn't pass it up. I would've been happy to pay much more than that!!!!! I always go to Goodwill's etc. and always check the books to see if they've been signed. I find tons of them that way.

[odienz]

just got a first edition hardcover of The Tommyknockers and Firestarter for $1 each, bargain!

[FXguy]

Yesterday was my birthday, and my wife presented me with Duma Key in hardcover. She said she walked downtown on Saturday, after we had a fight, and picked it up at Java Joes/Bookmarc's in Bangor. I had not finished the book when I got it at the public library, as I have a hard time reading his novels where the wife dies (I haven't gotten past that part in Bag Of Bones, either).

[nate_watkins]

I picked up the audiobook Blood and Smoke at the library. I've read Everything's Eventual, but was curious how the audiobook experience is. It's been a while since I've listened to one.

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Congrats on getting Duma Key, great book.

I know exactly what you mean vis Bag of Bones, but I'd really recommend you to bite the bullet and read through that because you're missing a really marvellous book IMO.

And I actually found Lisey's Story harder!

Long days and pleasant nights

[king family fan]

I never thought to look and see if books are signed but will correct that. I purchased a tee-shirt last. I started an addition to my collection. Iam framing tee-shirts and putting them on one wall in my bedroom.

[jchanic]

I just ordered the signed limited and gift editions of Full Dark, No Stars from Cemetery Dance.

John

[FrankJac]

I ordered the signed edition also...stumbled across the information on the web site.

[NicolasKL]

Same here. Missed the lettered edition by about 1/2 an hour but put myself on the waiting list for it if a copy frees up. I don't really want to spend that much, but would just once.

[kingricefan]

Ordered the signed limited edition of Full Dark No Stars from Cemetary Dance as soon as the email popped up in my inbox!! I didn't want to lose out this time, so as soon as I woke up I turned on the pc and waited for the email to come thru. I'm just happy that it came thru before I had to go to work. Last time they announced a limited I was at work and by the time I got home they were sold out (of course). I kind of knew that CD pubs was going to be doing the limited because the day after Ms Mod was asked by someone if there was going to be a limited (she said she couldn't say anything at that time, which is code for 'Yes, there will be one.':biggrin2:), CD pubs hinted that there was going to be a HUGE announcement made on the 19th of Oct. (do the math). We all know that the number 19 figures HUGELY in SK's universe.

[Goodlovin]

I just purchased the only remaining edition for Full Dark left from Cemetary Dance.

Damn I wish I would have read the new section yesterday when perusing this site so I could have ordered a signed one.

Come on people give someone else a chance here.

[Moderator]

Sometimes it's code and sometimes I honestly don't have the information. :smile2: When I was first asked about a limited edition, I think I'd answered that there wasn't one that I was aware of and that was the truth. I only learned about it in the last couple of months but was not able to release any information until yesterday. Especially with the limiteds, because more often than not they're done by small press publishers, a deal isn't struck until sometime after the mass market edition rights have been negotiated.

Goodlovin' that's another good reason to go to the Home page of the site first and to sign up for our newsletter. :smile2: Also not a bad idea to be on the mailing lists for some of the publishers that have done Stephen King limited editions in the past.

[Jojo87]

I ordered Golden years and I got it today. Can't wait to see that movie.

[kingricefan]

I just purchased the only remaining edition for Full Dark left from Cemetary Dance.

Hi Goodlovin'! (Love your handle!!) Please read my post up above. You have to be on the email list for these small publishers in order to 'get' the books when there announced. When there's literally tens of thousands of King fans out there and only a very limited number of books being printed, someone's bound to be left out. I am sorry that you lost out on the chance to get a signed edition. There is one up on ebay already, going for twice the original price, if you can believe it. But, look at what the price of a signed limited of the Gunslinger went for originally ($60) and what it goes for now (anywhere from $600- $2,000 or more). That's the cost we fans have to pay for a limited edition from the master. Hang in there, when you see what Cemetary Dance does with their edition of Full Dark No Stars you will be extremely happy. They are one of the best small press publishers out there today. Friendly staff, great products. Their books are meant to be read and last thru multiple readings, where as the ones you buy at the big 'box' stores fall apart after three readings. Check the SK site for the 'links' section, it'll give you links to all of the small press publishers that has done SK books in the past.:grinning:

[Goodlovin]

Here is a question I am curious about. I assume that Mr King signs a multi book deal with a large publisher. Because he signs that contract how is he then allowed to have a smaller company like CD put out its run of limited edition and signed editions and such?

I understand sales might be 20 or 30k for the limited editions and that is probably a drop in the bucket compared to what the larger publisher makes but I'm shocked they aren't wanting to put out their own larger run of special edition books and make even more money.

[Moderator]

The book deals with the larger publishers are for mass market circulation rights so he is free to do a limited edition with any other publisher. A smaller print run is part of the allure of a special edition as well as the higher quality of the materials used for the production of the book. Small press publishers are better suited for those as that has become a specialty for many of them. And, it's not about the money for Steve but allowing the special/limited editions does help out small press publishers which is one of the reasons he continues to do them.

[Samantha_]

The illustrations shown for the special/limited edition of Full Dark, No Stars are gorgeous. IMO

[Moderator]

Just to clarify an earlier post, the Limited Edition and Lettered Edition of FDNS are sold out but Cemetery Dance still has Gift Editions available. They currently have sold over 50%, though, so chances are it will also be sold out soon.

[odienz]

just picked up collectors edition of under the dome shrink wrapped. it was so cheaper it was ridiculous!!! although when it arrived the front of the plastic had a tear in it now i dont know if i should open it or not?

[kingricefan]

where did you get it? I've been looking for a copy myself.

[kingricefan]

Just recieved the Lonely Roads edition of Riding The Bullet. What an awesome looking book!! Brian, you did an excellant job with this one!! My hat is off for you. The illustrations by all the artisits are fantastic! Can't wait to start reading the screenplay and notes from Mick Garris either. I'm a happy camper!! WooHoo!!:love:

Open it. Some publishers use shrinkwrap that can be harmful to a book in the long-term. Plus, you want to be sure the volume is okay--no misbound signatures, etc.

[jc818]

Bought the hardcover edition of Bag of Bones on ebay. $4

[fromTull]

The Hardcover of THE LONG ROAD HOME (variant dj). And THE MONKEY mini-book from Gallery magazine. . . and of course Full Dark, ]No Stars[/BGCOLOR]!!!!

[psj77]

Amazon shipped my copy of Full Dark, No Stars Sunday. They said it would be Friday before I got it. I got it about noon today.

[Haunted]

In my hot little hands rests Full Dark, No Stars. *sighs at last at last*

[cat in a bag]

Got my Full Dark, No Stars this morning! I came home and did some housework and started dinner in the crockpot. I threatened to not do anything for the next couple days so I could read uninterrupted, but I decided that I was punishing myself if I did that, cuz no one else is going to do it!! :laugh: But now, I am going to curl up on the couch and start reading!!

[kingricefan]

Just got home from work with my copy of FDNS!!!!! Can't wait to crack it open later after dinner and start the Danse Macabre with ol' Steve!! Nice to see that it's dedicated to Tabby too! :love:

[odienz]

picked up FDNS at target in Valencia CA on my honeymoon!!! cant wait to get into it on the 15 hour flight back to NZ!

[odienz]

[Shawshank]

My latest SK purchase: The Bachman Books.

[kingricefan]

Just brought home American Vampire issues #8 & 9 and The Stand Hardcases #5.

[kingricefan]

Just found a hardback copy of Candles Burning by Tabby King (& Michael McDowell) in perfect condition at Value Village.

[king family fan]

I made my first purchased this week from coast2coastgraphix. Waiting for it to arrive. I ordered several things but excited as I ordered several t-shirts,to finish my wall of frames in my bedroom. I have a collection on the wall of king related t-shirts.Eack t-shirt is in a 16x20 frame.

[Raoul Duke]

Finally ordered Full Dark No Stars. I should get it right before my birthday.

[stand fan]

I got Secretary of Dreams Vol 2 from Cemetary Dance as well as the Riding the Bullet story/screenplay book from Lonely Road Books in the past month. Waiting on the Full Dark No Stars gift edition from Cemetary Dance to arrive.

[king family fan]

Got my gift edition of Full Dark,No Stars from Cemetary Dance yesterday.

[Red_Monkey]

I bought On Writing about two weeks ago in hopes of letting the master help mold me into a better writer. It's a good read just to read as well as informitive. To those of you who have read it already, where do you send the homework assignment? He directed me to the site but I am not sure where exactly to put it, forum, posting, personal profile? Or is there like a dumb bin to throw it into for the King himself to read?

[Moderator]

Sorry, you're a bit too late--this is covered in the FAQ (http://www.stephenking.com/faq.html#1.5).

[billmiester]

the last one i bought was liseys story, i heard somehwere it was sorta slow, is it?

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

Matter of opinion, maybe si, maybe no.

But quite a while is spent on the character development before the story takes off but it's a beauty when you get into it, although it caught many of us (me included) on page one.

Long days and pleasant nights

[~Ally~]

I know what SK story I won't be purchasing anytime soon in this lifetime...but that's in another thread!

I bought "The Colorado Kid" on Kindle for PC the other day, was a fast read. Interesting mystery...me likee.

[fromTull]

My copy of the gift edition of "Full Dark, No Stars" came today. My first LE and I have to say VERY HAPPY. I didn't expect the art to enhance King's work like it did for me. (4 artists, 1 for each story, 4 clearly different styles as well) I was shocked at how much it pleased me. The pen and ink drawings that accompany "1922" were my favorite. That and the wraparound cover which is perhaps the best cover I've seen on one of King's books. I CANNOT stop sneaking back to gaze at the panels. Any of you guys agree that the art for this book was the cherry on top of a perfect sundae??

[Walter o'Dim]

today i ordered desperation the regulators and the dead zone all for 25.00 total

Oooooooooooooo, I don't envy you at all, this is how it all started for me- with my first ever LE from Donald M. Grant books which was the gift edition of the Talisman. I was stunned at how beautiful the book and artwork was (and still is). Now, many years and many, many dollars later, I have an entire glass fronted bookcase full of signed/limited and gift edition :smile2:books by Sai King. I blame it all on Donald Grant for making such a beautiful volume, may he rest in peace.

[heyguy]

I ordered Full Dark, No Stars and 20th Century Ghosts the other day. Picked up a new hardcover of Heart-Shaped Box at the library for $2.50. I'm pretty excited to start reading some Joe Hill.

[RandomMan]

a few days ago I spotted a small bookstore in a neighboring small rural texas town....shocked me! Unforunately it only delt in paperback...i looked anyways. Found a copy of The Colorado Kid, printed by Hard Case Crimes...advertises that it is first publication anywhere. So I had to buy it at a cool $3.25. Anyone else have this copy?

[Anna Rose]

well, it wasn't my purchase, but it is my book. my mom bought the Bachman Books at a thrift store for one of my christmas presents. i am very proud to say i only have two Stephen King books that are not from thrift stores...and those two were given to me as presents from relatives (they were Under the Dome and FDNS, in case you were wondering).

Hi,

Yup, I think that was the most common edition, good cover, isn't it?

I've never seen the hardcover but I've hear rumours of its existence.

Long days and pleasant nights

BTW Have you seen the Syfy Channel's Haven, VERY loosely based on The Colorado Kid - but still very good IMO?

That was the initial publication of that book. If I remember correctly, the retail was $4.99, so you got a good deal!

[Cthulhu]

Got a copy of Silver Bullet - the movie screenplay + Cycle of the Werewolf. Has a little water damage, but I have been looking for it for a while so I picked it up when I saw it.

[sprinco12]

One of my best friends bought me Gerald's Game for Christmas and my sister bought me Gerald's Game and Needful Things. I am going to have to take back one copy of Gerald's Game, mainly because I don't know anybody that would want me to give it to them. Great books! I can't wait to read them.

Hi,

Congratulations on your gifts.

Ask the shop to change it, maybe for The Stand or IT, if you haven't read them.

Long days and pleasant nights

Hey, don't knock those thrift store purchases. I have found many, many great books at those types of stores, lots of good finds, including a perfect hardback copy of Insomnia that was SIGNED by Sai King for only $2.99!! Yes, it is his signature too as I know what that looks like. I have run across lots of autographed books by other authors at thrift stores and snatch them up when I can. Always a good idea to check to see if any of them are signed. happy reading!!

[kingricefan]

Just picked up two comics today- American Vampire #10 and the 1st issue in the new Little Sisters Of Eluria series.:love:

[Evil Queen]

I just bought Full Dark,No Stars....that was my Christmas present to myself!! :laugh: I'd love to go to a used bookstore to browse for some books...I don't see anything wrong w/used books & the price is usually great!

[butter]

i just got the stand hardcover unabridged for 4 dollars i was (and still am) extremely excited

[downarabbithole]

I just bought myself "song of susannah", soft cover with pictures, only to go home and realize i already have 2 copies *face palm* anyone require a song of susannah?

[RandomMan]

Hi,

Yup, I think that was the most common edition, good cover, isn't it?


BTW Have you seen the Syfy Channel's Haven, VERY loosely based on The Colorado Kid - but still very good IMO?

Yeah...but I kinda felt like a perv when reading it. I think everyone thought I was reading a story about a hooker!!

I will have to check Haven out...thanks!

[kingricefan]

Just purchased a 1st edition/printing hardback of The Shining off of Ebay! My collection grows evermore.......

[deroche]

I found a copy of this in my neighborhood at a dollar store for $1.25. Although I had read it from borrowing it at my library, I decided to buy it and add it to my collection of his work.

[Sundrop]

Recently picked up a 1st edition of Cycle of The Werewolf. It is in great shape, but the dust jacket is missing.....
Now, looks like I'm looking for the dustjacket! LOL

Good luck finding a dj for it. Those dj's are notorious for not holding up very well, made of thin paper and the colors are known to show lots of 'wear' after awhile. If you do find one, immediatly put it in a Brodart (or similar) cover.

[♥Faerie♥]

I just purchased 7 from Amazon, for a total of $43.... I got Duma Key, Hardcover of DT: The Long Road Home, Nightmares in the Sky, Under the Dome, Bakers Dozen: 13 Short Horror Novels, Just After Sunset...trying hard to work on my collection, I have quite a bit, but some are really hard to find, or afford!

[Jojo87]

I bought Misery from our local bookstore today. I've read it once before. But that was about I think 4 years ago. So re-read is not so bad.

[odienz]

just bought Stephen King Non Fiction with slipcase! cant wait for it to arrive! was bidding on My pretty pony but just lost out!

[Tinahorve]

I just bought the uncut version of The Stand and reread. It was so great, again. Some of his books I read so long ago that going back to them and re-reading them as a grown-up instead of a college student has been great. It's like seeing old friends again. You remember the general story line from each of them, but I had forgotten the rich detail and how much I come to live each character involved in the story. I have been looking for some Stephen King inspired art. I would love to get a picture of the Overlook Hotel to hang up somewhere.

[odienz]

Also just purchased Riding the Bullet, Little Sisters, Dark Tower I and My Pretty Pony all in Hardcover. It is going to be an awesome day when they arrive!

[ItFan]

I had a list of 14 SK books that I needed to (almost) complete my collection. I got 3 for Christmas and on Jan 2nd I ordered the remaining 11 from Amazon - I was more excited opening that delivery than I was on Christmas Day!

[Tinahorve]

:sad:I asked for the Kingdom Hospital DVD for Xmas, but nobody got them for me. Guess I'll have to buy myself a late Xmas gift.

[CaptainBaccarat]

I just finished Misery on my Kindle App last week, so I rented the movie Saturday night. I downloaded The Bachman Books the other night, and it was only around $8.00 for the three books included.

[A Guest from Roanoke]

I have bought The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and The Shining. 13 euro's :grinning: They didn't have Dolores Claiborne though.

[doc_hall81]

I just bought the first three Dark Tower Graphic Novels on amazon, and a constant reader coffee mug from the site here.

[odienz]

It is complete!!!! Just purchased the second dark tower in HC, apart from limited editions I now have all Stephen King books in HC!!!

[Pennywize]

The Fall of Gilead, which I really enjoyed, and the Battle of Jericho Hill, which I'm afraid to say I found a bit of an anti-climax and a disappointment after wondering for years about the story of that event.

Got both as the hard-cover collections for Christmas to complete the set, they make a nice addition to my SK collection and the artwork is outstanding.

[RandomMan]

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.

I just got a used copy of The Long Road Home at a Hastings for $12....I have always been interested in these but the cost along with me not knowing the order has made me shy away from them.

Can anyone list the different variations of Dard Tower comics and the order??? It would help me greatly!!!

[Moderator]

This (http://www.stephenking.com/darktower/the_graphic_novels.html) might be of help. :smile2:

[Connie Reader]

I have all his works in paperback and some in hardcover (Duma Key, DT7, IT, Lisey's Story) but I got a nook for my birthday so I'm building up my SK ebook collection. I have all the DT series and Robin Furth's Concordance to The Dark Tower so far. I think I'm going to collect and re-read all his works on the nook chronologically now that I have purchased and read the whole DT series again.

[RandomMan]

Wow, I didn't realize that there were so many. I have never been a comic book person...but after reading and looking at the art in this one...very cool!!!!

You are once again awesome, Ms Mod.

[kingricefan]

Just bought The Stand No Man's Land #1 (comic) and DT Gunslinger LSOE #2 (comic).

[nate_watkins]

A few weeks ago, I bought Full Dark No Stars, The Gunslinger (revised edition), and the newest Little Sisters of Eluria comic.

[WEIRDCHILLS53]

Signed Limited Desperation from David at Betts Books. Grant FDNS gift edition from tippy4 on the Dark Tower site.

[steelhorseclub]

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:

My latest buy was also Everything's Eventual. I'm kinda regretting getting the paper back tho. Its the only copy Books-a-million had.

[ashiepoo84]

Just got my DVD copy of Nightmares and Dreamscapes today!! I cannot wait to watch it.

[kingricefan]

Just got back from a two day trip to Seattle and I hit up some Goodwills and HalfPrice Books: hardback copy of Under The Dome (with the darker title lettering, already had the white lettered one-$5.00 @ HP!), Riding The Bullet DVD ($3.00 clearance at HP!), UK hardback of Lisey's Story ($9.99 @ HP) and some other books at the Goodwill. I love to go to the used bookstores and finding 'treasures' there!!

[kingricefan]

Just received my signed/limited edition of Blockade Billy from Lonely Road Books. Just gorgeous!!! Love the trading card of King in the baseball uniform!!

[Srbo]

Just received my signed/limited edition of Blockade Billy from Lonely Road Books. Just gorgeous!!! Love the trading card of King in the baseball uniform!!

That the one that cost 450 bucks or something like that?

[bryras]

Last weekend I picked up FDNS and Gerald's Game. I am reading UTD (really enjoying it) right now but I am definitely looking forward to these two. I love SK's short story books and FDNS is a really nice looking book. Also, for some reason I have never read Gerald's Game. When I am finished with these I will have to find a copy of Blockade Billy. It will be the only one that I haven't read. I am super thankful that SK is still writing books!

[kingricefan]

That the one that cost 450 bucks or something like that?

Yep, that be the one. I was 'lucky' enough to win the lottery/drawing for this title. I say 'lucky' cause it was a costly winning!!:eek2:

[JohnDalglish]

I am super thankful that SK is still writing books!

Hi,

Ain't dat de troof?

Me too, Bryas.

Thankee big-big, Sai.

Long days and pleasant nights

[king family fan]

It would be our latest purchase. we bought different things with the letters SK to bring out my collection alittler more.Always trying to find scans and old magizine articles by king to add new knowledge I may have missed. So the SK goes with other things.

[Tinks]

DVDs of Creepshow and the 1997 version of The Shining. A few hours there to keep me going on the colder evenings, if we get any more that is.

[xkittyx]

Most recent SK related... hmm, I got FDNS for Christmas, as well as a Borders giftcard, which I used in January to buy Joe Hill's Horns... then about a month ago I found Owen King's We're All in This Together at Dollar General... I think that's it so far, though I'm always on the lookout :)

Weird Tales (Summer 1991). It includes the Stephen King short story “It grows on you.”

In pristine condition and paid a whopping 25 cents for it at my favorite used book store. Tried to get it for 10 cents, but anything with King’s name attached seems to demand a premium... Damn SK!

My Mother In Law just gifted me with a First Edition of Black House...Yay!

Yesterday, I bought Dreamcatcher's movie version, entitled L'attrapeur de rêve in french. I have seen the movie before, but I enjoyed Morgan Freeman so much in that movie, and I also have that little crush on Thomas Jane.:wink2: I got it for $5.00 only at my library. I saw that Dome is finally in store, and since it's in 2 tomes, I will let my hubby by them for me for my birthday. They sell for $30.00 each. I'm curious to know if the original version is that expensive in USA...somebody?:smile2:

[friend of Oye]

Just ordered 2 "CONSTANT READER' T-shirts from cafe press.....One is a gift for the wifey......

Long days pleasant nights
please rectcle

[Christiane17]

Revision from my former post about Dôme. I just spotted them at Walmart for $24.00 each. For me it's not expensive since ''brick books'' of SK sell for big price brand new. So thank you Walmart!!!!

[jchanic]

They're quite a bit cheaper at Amazon:

I know, but I want french version actually. It's easier for me, since first language is french. I can read english though. Those are very big books even coming in 2 tomes. So using a dictionnary for words I don't quite get is out of question for me. I would end up with carpian condition for sure.:wink2:

[aintshesweet]

I recently purchased The Stand e-book for my Nook and Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King from B&N for $3. The Stand will be the second Stephen King book I've read on my Nook (the first was The Dark Half). I really enjoy reading books on my Nook. What is everyone's view about e-books vs. paper books?

[kingricefan]

Thought we'd get this thread back to the forefront again! Just purchased the latest comics for American Vampire, The Stand and the 1st installment of the Dark Tower- The Battle Of Tull. Before that it was the gift and limited edition of IT from Cemetary Dance.

[tracyd]

I just now bought the Bachman books on Amazon, just now! I am very excited about it because I have not found them at my library or anywhere else, although I Don't go to bookstores much. Anyway, I wanted to read The Running Man and I was told the Bachman books were the best so I got them. Now I can't wait for them to get here.

[Patricia A]

I haven't bought it yet but a friend of mine Jenny, is doing a portrait of Stephen King for me. She's super dooper uber talented but she's never done King and is really excited about our project. When she asked me how I wanted it done I told her just to follow her muse and she beamed. I'll post a picture of it when she's done and if it's cricket I'll post her website... not sure about the rules on that.
I just know it's going to be rockin'!!!

I'm so excited.

[Ace Merrill]

Full Dark, No Stars. read it in a day in a half, so good!

[Goodlovin]

I forgot my last purchase was Full Dark No Stars in paperback. I bought one of the more expensive cemetery Dance editions and felt like I shouldn't open it so I waited for the paperback.

Not an easy thing to wait for mind you.

[Homer403]

The Talisman.Local thrift store $2.Enjoyment.....priceless!!!

Hi,

A great use of two bucks IMO.

And in another thread someone is complaining that Sai King's books are too expensive when you can get The Talisman for $2, right here and now!

Sheesh!

Amazing the deals you can find at thrift stores on King items. I got a collectors of the shing for 2.50 pb awhile back.

[JellybeanJay]

I recently purchased the hard cover special edition of Under the Dome! I am anxiously checking my mail every day for it to arrive!!

[Timmy]

Just put in an order for Under the Dome... It seems to be a popular choice on this forum (after Dark Tower, of course)...

[Debbie913]

I posted before but I bought a Constant Reader t-shirt since then, so I'm telling about that now! I'm very pleased with it! It just
came a couple of days ago. I also got one for my dad for Father's day. (I know a week late, but I'm always late with everything and for everything:blush:)

[king family fan]

Sometimes I feel good about sharing King packages with others and not necesasarily purchasing something new. Sometimes its nice to send something to someone that you have more than one of. King things .:geek:

Just received my 2 Chadbourne SK character prints from Cemetery Dance.

[kingricefan]

Just got back froma three day trip to the Seattle area and of course I hit the Goodwill's and used bookstores, as many as I could! I picked up a 5th printing hardback of The Bachman Books at a used bookstore and ran across a decent 1st printing Signet paperback original of The Running Man at Goodwill for $.99!! I'm telling ya, ya gotta hit those Goodwill's, ya just never know what you'll find there!:biggrin2:

I have only recently (within a year so) gotten into Sthephen's books after reading IT, so last week, I put £10 (UK) into my bank and had a look on the play trade section of play (a UK based entertainment website - books, cd's dvd's etc) to see what I could pick up. I got Pet Semetary, Misery, The Shining, and The Stand: Complete and Uncut edition - for a total of £9.75. I prefer 2nd hand paperbacks - paperbacks because I generally read most in bed, lying on my side with my book in one hand, so they are easier and lighter to hold. 2nd hand, because a book is something you pretty much have no choice but to mark and damage with spine creases, and general wear, and I don't like to damage my newly bought things. Plus there is just something that feels cozy and nostalgic about an old book.

I hope I dont come across as cheap.

[kingricefan]

Purchased the latest installments of the comics of The Stand , Gunslinger and the last three of American Vampire. I have to say that after SK's turn at AV I thought this series would go down hill and be a disappointment but it is really turning out to be something special! For all of you readers out there who jumped ship after SK's storyline played out I suggest you get those back issues and devour them! This is really going to be a great series!!

I think the word you want here is frugal, and there ain't nothin' wrong with watching where your hard earned cash is going! :laugh: I myself like a good bargain when I find one.

[kendra3]

I found a first edition printing in paperback copyright April 1975 Signet number 451-E6410 of Carrie at Value Village for $1.99 with only a little crease in the top right corner of the cover. I haven't read this book in over 20 years. Apparently, it could be worth up to $100 on a rare book site that I accidentally found.....I thought I was just lucky to find an original art cover book that I remember from my childhood.

It could be worth some money if it has the original 'gate-fold' cover, the one that opens up and shows a fire. Cool find!! Gotta love those thrift store finds!:laugh:

[kendra3]

It could be worth some money if it has the original 'gate-fold' cover, the one that opens up and shows a fire. Cool find!! Gotta love those thrift store finds!:laugh: It does have the 'gate-fold' cover with the fire in it with the quote "GUARANTEED TO CHILL YOU!" The New York Times on the flames inside cover & a quote "GORY AND HORRIFYING...YOU CAN'T PUT IT DOWN!" Chicago Tribune on the second page of the gate-fold's black paper. But I'll tell you something funny; I paid $1.99 from Value Village but the cover price originally on the book is $1.75! I'm not complaining over $0.24 but they charged me more than the book was supposed to be worth & usually they mark the prices less than the printed price. LOL.....I can't wait to re-read it again (I'm reading DT7 right now). :smile2:

[citi biskit]

My latest purchase was THE DARK TOWER, THE GUNSLINGER BORN (MARVEL) I have two of THE STAND and two of the DARK TOWER, hoping to get all of them.:laugh:

[friend of Oye]

Found a copy of Nightmares in the Sky at a junk shop this weekend for $5.00. It's a photo book of Gargoyles in N.Y. City with text by SK. I had heard of it, but not seen it until now. It's quite creepy. A very good addition to my SK shelf.

[Laymonking]

Full Dark No Stars paperback.

[king family fan]

I found the 6 individual chapters of The Green Mile at a yard sale.All first editions. So now I have an extra set but not all first editions,so basically I updated..I love Green Mile...

[citi biskit]

[Silhouette86]

I just orded The Tommyknockers from playtrade online for a whopping....£1.99 GBP.:laugh: Yet another book that I vaguely remember the movie version of.

I do this quite a bit, I had to go the bank today to put in £16 for my phone, and £6 for a mail order bill, so I just round it up to £25 and then I look for a book under £3. You can find most of his books for that price. Should be able to pick up the darktower series for £20 - £25. I may look into that.

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.

If you leave SK for another author, and then come back to SK, does that make you an Inconstant Reader? Just a thought.

[TheHMC]

My most recent were a lot of 21 SK books(several of which I had already read) that I got off of eBay for about $20+ s&h. We won't discuss the fact that I had the wrong address in there(I hardly ever use eBay) and that my s&h charges got ridiculous before the escapade was over. However, I've gotten so much enjoyment from the books thus far, I could care less now how much I spent on stupid shipping charges. Besides, I still spent Way less than I would've buying them new, or driving all over town trying to find them at used book spots(Goodwill is my fave..I found a 1st edition of Misery there for a whole 99 cents earlier this year...though I think I've already mentioned that on here.)

[kingricefan]

[kingricefan]

Over the weekend I downloaded the free ap for my pc for Kindle, in preparation for Mile 81, which I pre-ordered and I also purchased UR, which I haven't read yet.

What?! Who didn't love Maximum Overdrive (ha). I would love to "publish" all the Castle Rock newletters out to a website, but read that it had been tried before, but someone couldn't get copyright approval. Who knows? That might have been a decade ago. Might try again. It would be good fun to read through all these and see everyone's thoughts "back in the day."

Good luck to you! You'd have to contact all of the people who have had articles, reviews, stories, etc. and get them to all sign off on that. I once thought about just using my laser scanner/copier to try and make copies of them but it didn't work out too well. I wanted to put them on a cd so in case anything should happen to the actual paper copies there would be a back up.

My last King purchase was The Talisman and Black House on audio through Itunes for my Ipad which was awhile ago. However now that I've updated my ipad with my computer they aren't on my ipad.

[47jacdlt57]

Borders is going out of business...wwwwwaaaaaaaa... and I picked up a very nice collector's edition of Under the Dome. It has illustrations and other goodies.

I also just ordered "A Book of Horrors" edition signed by editor Stephen Jones and artist Les Edwards, and includes a new story by King. The traycased edition has sold out. It is co-published by Cemetery Dance and UK PS Publishing and can be ordered from either published. They are only printing 1000 copies. For more info you can go here: http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/jones02

Lastly, I posted elsewhere in this forum that I just received a great long-sleeve t-shirt from CafePress with "Constant Reader" on the front along with a replica of Stephen King's signature. It is way cool and the money goes to a good cause. I'd been looking again in this forum to find the thread where I heard about it, and realized the store can be accessed from the stephenking.com home page. Just click on the SK Merchandise link at the top of the page, or go here: http://www.cafepress.com/stephenking

Happy reading and happy purchasing!

The Road to The Dark Tower - Exploring Stephen King's Magnum Opus, by Bev Vincent. Bought it at Borders a couple of weeks ago - finished reading it sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee this morning! It was great! Like a trip down memory lane with insight and info added! I highly recommend adding this book to anyone's collection!
(Judging by the number of exclamation points in what I just wrote, it's possbile that I may have had too much coffee this morning)

[fljoe0]

I picked up a first edition Grant copy of The Wastelands from ebay. I was pleasantly surprised at the great condition of this book. Someone took very good care of it. The book is 100 or so pages longer than my trade paperback edition so there is lots of extra white space. The illustrations look more vibrant too. It's a beautiful edition.

The last SK item I purchased was the Carrie 3-movie DVD set at Walmart. It has all 3 films: Carrie, The Rage: Carrie 2 and Carrie [NBC TV re-make]. I put this on my bookcase next to my Carrie Special Edition DVDs [one with the holographic slip cover and one without] and my VHS.

The first episode 'Battleground' literally starts off the collection with a bang! William Hurt does an excellant job with his role, I don't believe he has any dialogue at all. Most of the others are pretty good, although for most 'Crouch End' was a stinker.

[Ben Staad]

I finally picked up the gift edition of "Desperation" from Grant. It's a beautiful book and I'm thrilled that I picked this up.

[Srbo]

The library here had a sale today and I bought the first four DT books from Plume, paperbacks with the artwork inside ( like the one showed here...

13155 )...ALL of them never read, they still smell like new...for the unbelievable price of 14 Canadian bucks TOTAL.
Almost passed out at this opportunity, still can`t believe it..

Then, as I was walking back home, I stopped by some used book store and found an original first edition of Thinner, published in 1984, hard-cover, with the picture of " Richard Bachman "...in near mint condition, read maybe only once.
NO mention of SK anywhere...for the astonishing price of just five bucks.
Never even seen a "real" Bachman book where there is no mention of SK and now I know what RB looked liked before he died of cancer.

13156

Man, did these purchases ever made my day...

Wow, just noticed...payed EXACTLY 19 bucks total for the books...spooky....

[Stormseye]

Well, I guess mine would have to be The Treasury of American Horror Stories, thanks to the good folks on this board that helped me figure out which book it was!

[Alexandra19]

Hi everyone !

Though it's not an item, I've recently had Pennywise tattoed in my left arm.
You all know the original picture because it's actually the cover of the soon-coming special edition from cemetery dance (and if you wanna have a look, I posted it on an album on my page).
This isn't the first tattoo inspired by Stephen King that I get, another one being a drawing by Jae Lee I just fell in love with while reading the DT comics.
And well, some of you may find it a bit extreme but the thing is I'm really attracted in tattoos and I think it's important, when you choose to get one, that it is something you have thought about / that represents you well / that you belong to.
Thinking about it, the answer was quite clear : it had to be linked with SK universe. I just had to wait until I found the right pics. :-)

The library here had a sale today and I bought the first four DT books from Plume, paperbacks with the artwork inside ( like the one showed here...

13155 )...ALL of them never read, they still smell like new...for the unbelievable price of 14 Canadian bucks TOTAL.
Almost passed out at this opportunity, still can`t believe it..

Then, as I was walking back home, I stopped by some used book store and found an original first edition of Thinner, published in 1984, hard-cover, with the picture of " Richard Bachman "...in near mint condition, read maybe only once.
NO mention of SK anywhere...for the astonishing price of just five bucks.
Never even seen a "real" Bachman book where there is no mention of SK and now I know what RB looked liked before he died of cancer.

13156

Man, did these purchases ever made my day...

Wow, just noticed...payed EXACTLY 19 bucks total for the books...spooky....

It's all Ka!! I remember King saying once that the guy pictured as Bachman was his then agent Kirby McCauley's insurance guy. Sweet finds, my friend!

[kingricefan]

Well, I guess mine would have to be The Treasury of American Horror Stories, thanks to the good folks on this board that helped me figure out which book it was!

Glad you got the book! Enjoy!

[jellydonut25]

I picked up Full Dark No Stars from Borders going out of business...I wanted to grab the illustrated version of Wizard and Glass (it's the only illustrated one I DON'T have) but they didn't have it...

[Mr. Palmer]

Alexandra: A friend of mine has a tattoo sleeve of Stephen King related items. I know he has Cujo and Christine, but can't remember the others.

I'm not a fan of tattoos, but suppose that if I ever did want to get some ink it would King related.

[AndyDufresne]

Since I have recently decided to only buy King's novels in the American hardcover edition, I decided to check Barnes & Noble and see which novels they had in store. Well, apart from the few ones I already own, the ones they did have in store were Everything's Eventual, From a Buick 8, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Dark Tower 6: Song of Susannah. I've only read the last one, so the other three are titles I'm very much interested in.

[fushingfeef]

I just picked up this old 1983-84 Cinefantastique magazine for $4. You can't see it too well in this pic, but on the sidebar it says "Stephen King on 'Cujo', 'Christine' and 'The Dead Zone'" Can't wait to read it!

About 5 years ago I had some financial problems and lost my SK collection. I recently came into some money due to being hit by a car. The great thing is that I have been able to buy the SK books, including the Dark Tower series. I can't tell you how happy this makes me! With winter coming I have a nice collection of reading material. Thank you Stephen King for wonderful stories!!!

[Mr. Palmer]

Manxkitti: So sorry to hear you were hit by a car! How awful. But that's great you're getting something good out of it. Here's to a fantastic winter of reading!

[kingricefan]

Nothing better than curling up with a good book in those long winter months, eh? Sorry about your accident, but there truly was a silver lining, right?

[Speedygi81]

I just got Skeleton Crew on my Android tablet, and I can't wait to read The Reach in preparation for the film.

[Dave Sartin]

that'd be lisey's story, rose madder, and salem's lot.

[Stormseye]

Well, apart from the few ones I already own, the ones they did have in store were Everything's Eventual, From a Buick 8, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Dark Tower 6: Song of Susannah.

I'm a big fan of short stories, and really liked almost all of Everything's Eventual. Great book!

Not sure I can agree. There are better things to curl up with during the cold winter months, but a book is great, too! :devil:

Sorry, I meant The Mist..

[MelissaConstantReader]

Made a trip to the neighborhood thrift store and found Dreamcatcher, Thinner, and From A Buick8. Love it!

Yeah, so far I haven't been disappointed with King's short stories either. They seem darker, most of the time. Especially the endings, which don't always have to be proper closure in a short story. I really like that.

And in the meantime I also bought original hardcover editions of 'salem's Lot, The Stand (the revised edition) and The Bachman Books. Can't wait for all of them.

[Lina]

About a week ago I finally found Full Dark, No Stars in the store. It was the first time I actually saw the book here, so I immediately bought it.

[fushingfeef]

I picked up Stephen Spignesi's "The Essential Stephen King" for a mere 4.98 today! It's a bit out of date but I love reading about all things SK, so I'm happy to have it.

[MelissaConstantReader]

Yet, another thrift store find: On Writing.

[friend of Oye]

Just ordered the slip cover for 11/22/63 to slid my copy, that SK will sign at the Dallas Hullabaloo.

[bryantburnette]

My last S.K.-related purchase was booking a hotel room in Atlanta for my trip to see a show of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. Yay!

Wait...

They didn't charge my card yet, so that's technically not a purchase.

Does Vol. 4 of Locke & Key count?

[91rewoT]

Was looking on e-bay for anything King 1999. Found Stephen King Country by George W. Beahm. It's supposed to be a book of pictures of places that inspired King when he wrote different books. It should be interesting. And it's kinda weird. 1999 publication, and the guy's name is Beahm?

[Mr. Palmer]

Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished

This book appears to be quite interesting. Has anyone else read it? Any thoughts?

[bryantburnette]

Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished is terrific. It's basically just an overview of stories most people will never get to read, so it's a bit of a c*@#-tease in that regard. Still, if you're interested in that sort of stuff, it's indispensable. Plus it's got a lengthy chapter from the unpublished novel Sword in the Darkness!

I also highly recommend Rocky Wood's Stephen King: The Non-Fiction.

[Mr. Palmer]

Bryant: Thanks! So far, it's a very good read. I love stuff like this, so it's right up my alley.

I'd like to read Stephen King: The Non-Fiction, too. Hopefully one day I'll get to it...

[Ben Staad]

Not a full fledged SK purchase but I just picked up a very nice copy of Shock Rock.

[Speedygi81]

11/22/63, when can you arrive to the local booksellers so I can post your title in this thread? When? hehe :laugh:

[JohnDalglish]

Hi,

11/8/11, I believe.

Hey, a palindromic date.

Long days and pleasant nights

[91rewoT]

Okay people, last weekend I bought a netbook. Stay with me on this one...I'm using it to play on the message board right now as I'm cooking supper, so it counts as a King related purchase, doesn't it???!
:wink2:
OOPS! My pasta is boiling over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Speedygi81]

Got Mile 81 on my phone, I am so happy!!! hehehe

[Tiny]

People have made fun of me for reading Kings books in the book store (with out paying for them)
So I want to say here that I bought TGWLTG -paper back

sooo---:tongue: to you guys!!!

[Jojo87]

This is not really a Stephen related purchase but since Joe Hill is Steve's son so thought to put it here. I've order Joe Hill's Horns and can't wait until I
get the book so I can start to read it.

[MemnochTheDevil]

Totally going to get On Writing since so many people seem to have loved that one. I skipped over it thinking it was just King's tips on how to write better. Can't wait to start reading it. Got to get through the rest of the Dark Tower books first though.

[kingricefan]

Just got back from Borders where I picked up the hardback collection of The Dark Tower: Fall of Gilead. Got it for only $10.00!! They also had the hardback Treachery one and I'll have to go back and get it as I thought I already did, but discovered I didn't when I got home.
