Your latest Stephen King related purchase...

[kingricefan]

Went back and bought the Treachery hardcover. Now I just gotta start on all those The Stand ones............ The collection ever-grows whilst the wallet thins!!

[The Nameless]

Hey guys, today, I was in that well known literature retailer......Morrisons:laugh: (that's a UK supermarket for my American friends), in the £1.99 each or 3 for £5 section, I found S.K's The Green Mile. So I bought it, unfortunately it was the only King book they had so I couldn't get the 3 for a fiver. It is the only brand new King book I have ever bought - I have said in the past that I prefer 2nd hand books to new ones, I like the nostalgic feel they have and their old library smell - they just seem to have a cozy feel to them. Oddly enough, it was the cheapest one I have bought.

[Srbo]

The first UK edition of Carrie and a HC of Eyes of the Dragon.

YAHOO!

[jchanic]

Congratulations on the first UK Carrie! That's a really scarce one!

[EMARX]

I couldn't actually hold it in my hands, but I did purchase and read Mile 81. What a hoot!!

[Agincourt Concierge]

I actually lucked out at local Goodwill store AGAIN !! I found a very nice copy of "Candles Burning" by Tabitha King & Michael McDowell (who was a great writer) .... and just guess who was mentioned on the dedication page ?? Our very own Ms. Mod !!!

I also got "the Dark Half" and "Cat's Eye" too !! it was a good day at Goodwill !!!!

[king family fan]

I got a comic for $12. The Stand No Mans Land still in plastic.

[bryantburnette]

I got my copy of the Dark Tower comics omnibus in the mail yesterday!

Thing weighs so much that it's difficult to hold with one hand. Looks gorgeous. I'm thrilled to have it, no doubt.

[kingricefan]

Went to Hasting's where they're having a Buy 2 get 2 for $2 sale on their dvd's and I was able to replace my copy of Hearts In Atlantis that I loaned out to someone and never got back and also Desperation, which I needed for the ol' collection! (I also got The Dark Knight which I wanted for Heath Ledger's legendary performance and Bug with Ashley Judd which I've always wanted to see)

[Srbo]

UR and Mile 81.

Yahooo!

[kingricefan]

UR and Mile 81.

Yahooo!

You're in for a real treat, my friend!! Enjoy!!

[Srbo]

You're in for a real treat, my friend!! Enjoy!!

True. UR was FANTASTIC, Mile 81 not to shabby either, like a light breeze before the oncoming storm called 11/22/63.:)

[king family fan]

Mile 81. Not purchases but won a signed copy of Liseys Story and a signed copy of Stephen King Companion from Rocky woods. Waiting patiently for the mailman to deliver them now.

[barbaraso]

I picked up Christine at the swap shop at the town dump for FREE!! :)

[blunthead]

Occasionally I window shop at Half.com for sK books. Usually I find the windows have no glass and I can reach in and have the books! Sure, pay a little money (very little in my case, I insist), but the trade is fantastic! I did this once again the other day. I like to have extra copies to give as gifts, and even rarely find something I don't already have.

[ghost19]

Just bought Mile 81 a few days ago for my Nook. Awesome story, but ended too soon. Me want more Mile 81!!!!:)

[kingricefan]

I picked up Christine at the swap shop at the town dump for FREE!! :)

Oh, we're going to have to hunt down the person that sent this to the dump! SKMB members, light your torches and let's hit the streets!!!!:laugh:

I just got THE STAND on Kindle...I am reading it as soon as I possibly can, but alas my studies demand a large chunk of my time.

[Speedygi81]

Just bought nine hardcovers, including Insomnia, Dolores Claiborne and Bag of Bones.

You really got it all down...

[Srbo]

I didn`t buy anything, but got a very nice new PB edition of Nighshift as a gift from my brother in law.

It`s beautiful to get a book, an edition, written by SK as a gift.
It does not happen too often, makes it special all the more.:smile2;

[daddyrichie]

I bought Night Shift and Everything's Eventual yesterday for a total of £1.10 and got It last week for 50p! Unfortunately my daughter has been ill over the past few days so haven't been able to read much but once she's back at school I intend to read It! I watched the mini series so the read is bound to be better and it's kinda handy cos I have a face to go to the name

[kingricefan]

Pre-ordered Granta from Amazon, ordered A Book Of Horrors also (which was shipped today) and also found a copy of the 'gift' edition (the one that has the cards with it) of Under The Dome for a really good price!:love:

[king family fan]

I got the first season of Haven.Finally.lOL

[Lily Sawyer]

I buy my King works in hardcover only. I went to my favorite Mom-'n-Pop bookstore in late July (Dark Delicacies) and found

Just After Sunset
Insomnia
Dreamcatcher
and a Peter Straub work called Mystery

When I got up to the register with my stack, the owner looked at me and asked "catching up on your Stephen King reading?" and snorted. I couldn't come up with a great response, but we sure did hee-haw. I love buying used books that are in great condition, especially the hardbacks. :)

[kingricefan]

Just purchased the signed/numbered limited edition of The Stand from Betts Books!!!! Finally, after all of these years I will be the proud owner of the Holy Grail of Stephen King limiteds! Can't wait to get my hands on it! WooHoo!! (Sure wish I had bought a copy when it first was released and the price was a mere $325...........)

[ghost19]

My Dallas, TX reception ticket. Got very, very, lucky. So thrilled to be going.

[*~*Lily*~*]

I won a copy of Duma Key from a book bloggers spooky books giveaway! I haven't read it yet so I am very excited to!

[*~*Lily*~*]

I just got my license so I can now drive, I'm 25....yeah.....I know I just don't like to drive, but the bus is worse. Anyway I splurged (I shouldn't have since I don't have a job right now) and bought the bumper sticker from the sites shop.

[kingricefan]

I won a copy of Duma Key from a book bloggers spooky books giveaway! I haven't read it yet so I am very excited to!

Good for you! I won an advance readers copy of Lisey's Story from the publisher a few years ago. It's always more special when the prize is King related, eh? Enjoy the book! It's a great read!

[kingricefan]

I just received my signed/limited copy of The Stand in the mail today and it's absolutely eye-poppingly GORGEOUS! Simply one of the best, if not THE best, limiteds of Sai King's work there is. Now I will have to do some rearranging of the bookcase again...........

[jchanic]

I got this a while ago, but promised the seller I would not post it for a while. I got permission today.

The CD Full Dark, No Stars black galley proof:

This is one of 10 or less produced.

What, the coffin edition?
Really?
That one is really hard to find, nevermind how expensive it is.
Congrats!

I found a first edition of IT in a secondhand bookstore for the unreal price of 10 Canadian bucks.:)

[Jojo87]

I order Under the dome translated to Finnish. I've read the English version and it was great. But now I really want to know if the Finnish version of the same book is good too. And that's one reason why I order it. I got it yesterday and start to read it soon.

[KJ Norrbotten]

I hope the quality of translation has improved over the years. One of the reasons I never read the finnish versions anymore, is the way some novels, e.g. It and Tommyknockers were translated into Finnish.
And of course, the English version is available earlier...

Hi, SRBO, yes it is the 'coffin' edition, the one that comes in the big black wooden red silk-lined box. If I can figure out how to post a pic on here I will do so, I tried once before on something else but it wouldn't take the file? I'm not going to say what I paid for it, I purchased it thru Bett's Books, suffice to say that you could get a small used car for the same price. But, I had to 'treat' myself to something extravagant with the inheritance from my Dad's estate. I'm sure he's rolling his eyes at me for doing so, but this edition is something I've lusted after ever since it was released way back when........

Congrats, yes it IS beautiful (no, I don't have one but I've seen it and lusted after it too).

Long days and pleasant nights

[Garriga]

a ticket to Mr. King's appearance in New Orleans. I think i go to octavia book store to exchange the ticket for a copy 11/23/63

(counting down the days)

[Royski]

Just got a 2nd printing of the Gunslinger. Was trying to hold out for a first edition to fill the empty space, but still can't rationally spend that much on a book at this time.

I know how it looks like, no worries.

Strange though you can`t upload images here...

[kingricefan]

Just got back from my three day book shopping spree in the Seattle area! Found some goodies while there:
Hardbacks of The Stand: Captain Trips & The Stand: American Nightmares
Hardback of Full Dark, No Stars
Also recieved in the mail from Amazon my copy of The Chronicles of Harris Burdick which contains the story The House On Maple Street (based on a piece of art from Chris Van Allsburg which is in Nightmares & Dreamscapes) and also a new story from Tabitha King, which is always a treat when something new by her comes down the pike, there's tons of other authors in this book too. Was notified that Amazon has also shipped my copy of Granta, which has The Dune, a new story by the Master!

[Jojo87]

I bought 1408 today. I've seen it few times before. But it's many years ago and I have to re watch it.

[GreyEagle]

My latest SK purchase was the softcover collection 'Full Dark, No Stars.' I was browsing the book section at the local grocery store chain. I had never seen this collection and found it was the first paperback printing. This was about 4 days ago and I'm just getting ready to read the last story.

Dark stories, but wonderful collection.

[Manxkitti]

I usually buy my books through Amazon. The last ones I bought were Dolores Claiborne to complete my collection.

Happy reading.

[hollymartins07]

Just got "11/22/63" at B & N in Sarasota, with a 30% stated discount on the cover and an extra 10% off for being a member. I'm going to the upcoming book signing on the 14th. I must say, I don't think the book itself could be bigger or heavier, literally. I'm just saying (being an older fan). I started reading it tonight...loving it so far. Wonder how I'll read it in bed. Maybe I'll need a bed book stand -- boy will that make me feel old.

[kingricefan]

Well, obviously, 11/22/63 (like a bunch of us here, I'm thinking.....)

[ChristineB]

Since my last post here: Full Dark, No Stars 1/1 Trade Hardcover and just yesterday 11/22/63 1/1 Trade Hardcover and the Signed Limited of the same.

[Cthulhu]

Just got a 2nd printing of the Gunslinger. Was trying to hold out for a first edition to fill the empty space, but still can't rationally spend that much on a book at this time.

I have a 2nd edition of this book as well. It makes a fine substitute for the 1st since the amount printed was the same IMO (10,000). I'm not forking out that much $$$ right now either.

As for my recent purchases, I have tried to round out all of SK's uncollected works.

I purchased within the last week:

SK Illustrated Companion
TV Guide w/Before The Play
Do-It-Yourself Bestseller
Salem's Lot Illustrated edition
Bred An Good Rooks?
First Words
Antaeus: The Final Volume
The Big Book of NECON
McSweeney’s Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales
McSweeney’s Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories
He Is Legend: Celebrating Richard Matheson
The New Yorker, November 9, 2009
Full Dark, No Stars - paperback
Granta magazine October 27, 2011

I also picked up 11/22/63

Go Dawgs!

[deedeerokks]

I'd say probably a whole pile of SK books, all from two used bookstores and it was only $30! I think I biught 15 books that day haha. Some of the ones I got were: Carrie, Firestarter, From a Buick 8, The Drawing of the Three, the Dead Zone, and bunch of others that I can't name off the top of my head. All of my SK books together take up two shelves on my bookshelf, and I'm going bargain hunting this weekend to stock up on SK for the winter lol.

[The Nameless]

I just recieved in the post, Desperation and Dreamcatcher. I got them pre owned from play.com - both are paperbacks, but whilst dreamcatcher is in good shape, some slight creases to the spine, and some page-top tanning, desperation has no marks on it and not a single crease in the spine - it must never have been read. And the price....£4.14 for the 2. Does anyone else in the uk use play for books? It has some stupidly good bargains - I have previously said that I think I prefere 2nd hand books, and I am yet to pay £3 for a book, but even the new (as in not used) books are mostly £5 - £10. I was looking before, you can get the dark tower series for a combined £36.

Anyway, when I have finnished the shining, I am going to dive right into Desperation. As soon as I read the brief description on the website, I just wanted to read it badly. Looks like the Stand will have to wait a bit longer.

[psj77]

I got my copy of 11/22/63 today. I ordered through The Stephen King Library because it was cheaper. I figuered as new as the book is they would send a first edition. Insted it is a book club edition but I did get the 2012 SK desk calender & a book light with it.

[Moderator]

The Stephen King Library is a division of Book of the Month Club so part of the reason they are cheaper is because they are book club editions and they do their own production. With a rare exception or two (Storm of the Century and Secret Windows), none of the Stephen King Library editions are ever considered first editions.

[Cthulhu]

Just got the over-sized hardback Land of Enchantment limited edition Cycle of The Werewolf yesterday. Only 7,500 copies printed in 1983. I usually stay away from the expensive limited editions, but this one was too cheap to pass up. I got a really good deal on it. I like the 1st ed. hardback SK books, and the 1st trade edition of this book is smaller in size and only available in paperback form. If they had produced a hardback trade edition I would not have shelled out the $75.00 for this book. I now get to donate my old 1st trade edition paperback to the local library.

[ConstantReader1973]

This past Saturday, I purchased three first edition King books from a thrift store for $6.00 total. They are more recent books, so it doesn't surprise me that I was able to find them in first edition, but I'm thrilled! The dust jackets are in excellent condition and so are the books. My kids were laughing at me last night as I very carefully removed the little price stickers that the thrift store stuck on. :grinning:

I think I have seen some of the SK Library editions and they are very nice. They are full size and have the original artwork dust jackets. I think my hard cover edition of Carrie is an SK Library edition. I don't like those BC editions that are smaller. Maybe Ms Mod can confirm this but I think the SK Library books are full size and exact duplications of the originals.

[Moderator]

Sorry, but I'll have to leave that to someone who is a member of the SK Library. We don't get copies of those books at the office.

Gotta love those thrift store purchases! You never know what you're going to find there. I found a signed hardback mint condition copy of Insomnia and paid $2.99 for it!! (and yes, it's SK's siggy on it, I know what that looks like) I would love to know how this book ended up at a thrift store, tho.........???????? I also know someone who picked up a first printing hardback of Carrie (ex-library, but still in pretty good condition) and paid 50 cents for it!! You just gotta keep checking back to see what's new there.

[Lamb_on_the_Lam]

Most recently, I was lucky enough to be near the front of the line at the JFK library in Boston so I was able to purchase a signed copy of 11/22/63.

My Mother went to visit my Nan a little while ago, and my Nan asked if she knew of anyone who read Stephen King books, my Mum said the I do, so my Nan gave her a hardback copy of Under The Dome which she bought at her library for 10 English pence (£0.1). It has a protective cover over the dust cover, I have no idea if it is a first edition or anything, nor do I know how to check, but still.......10p. Library bargains are cool.

[Sundragon63]

"From a Buick 8"; I'd gotten the hard back when it first came out and lent it to someone who STILL HAS IT YEARS LATER. So I bought the paperback and re-read it-and re-loved it.

[king family fan]

I found a signed limited Edition of The Best American short stories of 2007,1of 26 Deluxe Edition/ also got A collectors set of Just after Sunset(it has a DVD of N attached in the book) /also a pop up 1st edition of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon/plus 3 other books and all for $50.

[blunthead]

I like to buy used Stephen King books at Half.com, which I give to friends for birthdays, etc. Recently I bought Dolores Claiborne. I haven't read my own copy yet, though!

[Debbie913]

I recently bought a copy of The Stand (first trade edition) at a used book store. I'm still hoping I got a good deal and didn't pay too much. Anybody know what that's worth? Outside of priceless in all of our hearts!!!

I have finally purchased Night Shift. I was looking for it everyone, and now I have finally got it.

[Jojo87]

I ordered Haven few weeks ago. Still haven't start to watch it yet, because need to wait until Christmas it's a gift to me.

[Lina]

Went to the book store yesterday, finally found Lisey's story. Absolutely happy about it.

[kingricefan]

Latest comic issue of The Stand. Hard to believe it's almost over!!

[J.T. Adams]

Nice! When you finish tell us what you think about it, I beg.

[king family fan]

I got SK Library calendar and CD calendar both in the mail yesterday. Quite excited.

[jchanic]

I got one of those promotional phonograph players for the A&E version of Bag of Bones, but my wife won't let me have it until Friday. She says it's my birthday present!

John

[star_scream19]

not the most recent but my favourite was picking up two really old, tattered copies of the dead zone and rose madder from an old cafe/bookshop. Caught my eye as I was eating breakfast! most recent was the hardback collection of a gunslinger born.

[Lady_Discordia]

My most recent SK purchase was 11/22/63. Haven't finished it yet, but I absolutely love it so far. :)

[TheHardcase]

I picked up a pretty good condition hard cover copy of Nightmare and Dreamscapes for $1 at the local library. And that was the same day I bought 11/22/63. That one cost a little more. :wink2:

[king family fan]

I got my $30 worth on Saturday! I got 2 complete uncut versions of the Stand 1 st editions,1 first edition of Blaze, a first edition of Cujo and a couple paperbacks, and The Haunting of house hill. I was in my glory.Real pleased with that buy!

[TheHardcase]

My most recent SK purchase was 11/22/63. Haven't finished it yet, but I absolutely love it so far. :)

Yep. I'm in the middle of it myself. It's clear the master hasn't lost his touch. :y:

[bryantburnette]

The Grant edition of The Wind Through the Keyhole. Not technically a purchase yet; a pre-order, though! And apparently it will be signed by Jae Lee, so, score!

[Moderator]

We told DMG that we wouldn't make our announcement until tomorrow about this as they didn't want to get slammed right away with orders and wanted the people on their list to have first crack at it. Just wanted to let you know why I am putting your post on the pre-order in a spoiler notice. :smile2:

[king family fan]

That sound so exciting! Pretty neat gift ,I would say.

I got one of those promotional phonograph players for the A&E version of Bag of Bones, but my wife won't let me have it until Friday. She says it's my birthday present!

John

[kingricefan]

So, technically it's tomorrow, so don't have to worry about using the 'spoiler' thingy: just put in my pre-order for Wind Thru The Keyhole with Grant books!!!!

[kingricefan]

Received my copy of Cemetary Dance's gift edition of IT and it is absolutely gorgeous! They've done a bang-up job with this one, folks! Love it, Love it, LOVE it!!!

[momone53]

So, technically it's tomorrow, so don't have to worry about using the 'spoiler' thingy: just put in my pre-order for Wind Thru The Keyhole with Grant books!!!! Me too, for the artist's edition.

[kingricefan]

Me too, for the artist's edition.

As did I. Maybe one of us will be lucky enough to be picked in the lottery for one of the signed copies?!!!!

[momone53]

As did I. Maybe one of us will be lucky enough to be picked in the lottery for one of the signed copies?!!!! I didn't enter the lottery, the price is a little steep for me right now, but boy would I have liked to.

[jchanic]

I just received my s/l IT: 25th Anniversary Edition (#359). A beautiful production.

I've also ordered both the s/l and gift editions of The Wind Through the Keyhole (#767).

I just bought a paperback of dolores claiborne! Can't wait to get to it (i just don't know when!) :)

[Srbo]

Bought first editions of Gerald`s Game and Dolores Clairborne. 2 buck a piece, mint condition.
Second hand stores do wonders, even here in Canada.

[Dane Mc]

The Dark Tower box set. My Fiancee bought me this as a gift and I love them. Best I ever read. One problem is that whilst the first 4 books are in a protective sleeve, the last 3 books aren't. Can anyone help me get a sleeve for these books. I really want to keep them pristine. Thanks.

I got 11/22/63 for Christmas and Dark Towers: 3. The Wastelands, and 4. Wizard & Glass. I already have 1.

[goldie01]

Pre-Xmas present from my wife: The Regulators, Bag of Bones, as a Xmas present: On Writing, Lisy's Story (comment: for me a very hard read)

[momone53]

[Srbo]

Ordered the gift edition of IT from CD the other night.
Can`t wait for it. :)

[Waylander]

Cujo for my Kindle. Have the paperback, but it was the last of the releases on Kindle to be bought. I'm still waiting for Eyes of the Dragon to be released on Kindle, though.

[sprinco12]

I haven't bought any SK books for a while...can't seem to find any in the local Wal-Mart and definitely not in Meijer, and I haven't been to the used book store for quite some time. BUT, I received 11/22/63 as a Christmas present.

[Homer403]

Bought a copy of 11/22/63 for my nephew. He hasn't read much King. I hope he likes it.

[momone53]

You'd better be extra-extra nice to the hubby, that is a somewhat rather costly edition he got ya!:wink2: Yes, he gets extra points for that one, especially since he's not really a fan. I can't seem to get him to understand my obsession, especially with all things Dark Tower.

[kingricefan]

Yes, he gets extra points for that one, especially since he's not really a fan. I can't seem to get him to understand my obsession, especially with all things Dark Tower.

Introduce him to the Board, there's LOTS of us that share your 'obsession'! Maybe if he sees that there are others who do, he won't tend to look askance at you for yours? :laugh:

[momone53]

Maybe if he sees that there are others who do, he won't tend to look askance at you for yours? :laugh: Might be a good idea. Maybe I'll get him to poke around. He really wasn't to concerned about it until I told him I was going to get a Dark Tower tattoo, now he just looks at me with those I-think-you're-nuts-but-I-love-you-anyway eyes.

[King fan from trinidad]

I got on writing, roadwork and a used copy of the shining. Maybe gonna go back to that used bookstore to pick up rose madder and the eyes of the dragon.

Whoot! Whoot! Just got an SKMB tee-shirt and a "19" magnet for on my fridge!!

Whoot! Whoot! Just got an SKMB tee-shirt and a "19" magnet for on my fridge!!

:eek2: I want a SKMB t-shirt!

I got Under The Dome for Christmas :love: and am about halfway through it.
A few months ago I bought a pop-up version of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. It's kind of cool to have things other than the basic SK books. Most of mine are hand-me-downs or from a thrift store or ebay. I'd like to one day replace them all with hard covers. My book shelves would look so much nicer.

I'm a big audiobook reader and one of my habits has been to get the hardback upon completion of a "book" I've listened to. The link above is a great place to find them on the inexpensive. Just an FYI.

[The Nameless]

I have just ordered Salems Lot (£2.70) and Nightmares and Dreamscapes (£1.59) from play.com, they should arrive in a few days.

[jchanic]

I was finally able to get a copy of the s/l audio tapes for The Dark Tower II The Drawing of the Three (#231/800). I've been looking for a long time for this one.

Thanks for that link, srbo. I have bookmarked it, now, so when I have money I can go back and shop!

I found it funny that they sell bibs and onesies! Start 'em out early, right?

Can I come over and look at your collection? Can I, can I? Huh? Can I? :laugh: I am getting to be so-o jealous of you!

[samhain]

Found a reasonably priced hardcover version of The Bachman Books omnibus.

[Stan_Richards_of_Windsor]

Off topic, but I can't help then to notice, why exactly did this "BlackThorn" get banned?
Furthermore, how is his avatar so monsterous?

Mostly because he was annoying(in a big way) and idiotic but I don't remember all the details...

As to the avatar, some of them are just big like that. :dunno:

Of course you are more than welcome!

I don't have to go back to work till Saturday, but I have a feeling even if I rented a private jet to get me to Ohio in 3 hours, switched to a helicopter that would drop me off in your back yard, had you whisk me into the room(s) that contains your collection, it would not be enough time to see it all!!! :down::laugh:

I recently bought The Long Walk, Cell & Bag of Bones at Barnes & Noble. I didn't get any kind of great deal on them, but was happy with the purchase. I hadn't read these stories yet. I'm finishing up The Long Walk now, then plan on reading 1 of the other 2 next.

Hey, if you want great deals on books check out your local thrift stores, you usually can find lots of great deals on books there, most have only been read once and then donated. You can get a nice King collection going for less money than buying them at the big stores. Good luck!:grinning:

[91rewoT]

Just got my copy of Robin Furth's Stephen King's The Dark Tower The Complete Concordance! Love it!

[Ragan]

The Coffin for my uncut version of the Stand.

[kingricefan]

The 25th gift edition of IT from CD.

B- E- A- U- T- I -F- U- L !!!

Aye, Srbo, it's almost as beautiful as the Limited of The Stand! Maybe more so as IT has colored illustrations along with the black and whites. CemDance outdid themselves this time.

[The Nameless]

Just ordered Skeleton Crew for £2.08.

[Dane Mc]

Just bought Everything's Eventual and pre ordered my copy of The Wind Through The Keyhole. 88 days to go!!!

They sure did. I don`t have that coffin edition of The Stand, but I do have The Stand personalized and signed in a "coffin" made by our very own JR Lauer, as you already know.
So, I`m gonna call it all good.:)

[king family fan]

Iam happy with the coffin from JR Lauer. Makes my collection stand out! Sometimes a collector has the biggest treasures.As whatever it is makes themselves happy! As they say no collection to big or too small.

[Owlnuggets]

I just put down a 200 dollar deposit on a KA tattoo ;)

Just bought DT VI and VII at a local used book store for $6.00 each. Thought that was a pretty good deal.

[kingricefan]

I just received my first ever 'Grab Bag' from Cemetary Dance yesterday and man oh man was I ever surprised at what was in there! I was always leary about getting one of these grab bags, but it was definately worth my while! There were two, yes, TWO King related items in it, one was a second printing of Colorado Kid by CD pubs, the other was the Lonely Roads edition of Riding The Bullet! There is also a signed chapbook, a signed limited edtion of a book that I had thought about getting from them but never got around to it, a limited Peter Straub novella, an anthology of weird western stories and a Halloween poetry anthology! Shoot, I only paid a mere pittance for all of these great books! I will surely snatch up another 'Grab Bag' when they offer them again and urge you to do the same!!:biggrin2:

[J.T. Adams]

Just bought DT VI and VII at a local used book store for $6.00 each. Thought that was a pretty good deal.

Hardcover?

[kingricefan]

Went to the comics store and got all of the latest issues of Dark Tower, American Vampire and The Stand that they set aside for me. Hadn't been there since last November so there were alot of them!!

[tmac61]

Yes they were both hardcover and in really good shape.

[king family fan]

I got several second used king books.All for only $12. Paperbacks. Firestarter,Green Mile,2 of The Dead Zone(Different covers),Cujo,Salems Lot.The Dark Halfand a collectors edition of The Shining. I enjoy collecting the books with different covers. To each his own I guess.

That would cost a fortune. I got my Skeleton Crew yesterday, it had this cover:
14652

I ordered this one:
14653

There are so many different covers for each book - some even by the same publisher.

[TheHardcase]

Picked up an original extended version of The Stand, in hardcover, with the original dustcover, in mint condition at a local library for $2. It looks like it's never even been opened, let alone read. I feel like I hit the mother lode. :biggrin2:

I just got a paperback Night Shift for £1 from my local Marrie Curie Cancer Hospice shop.

No need to be jealous, you will always have Nick Saban and The Crimson Tide to cheer you up. I was able to track all of them down on addall for a very reasonable price. Before 2008, these books were very pricey. After the poop hit the fan the prices have seen an "adjustment" and are a lot more affordable.

[king family fan]

Got a copy of the Green Mile pb with a different cover than i had. Was crazy went to a yard sale that advertised king books. It was only like 24 out. Very cold. Joke King books not many and not well taken care of. Anyhow who was crazier them for having a yardsale or me for going? Or am I addictted?

[sonofcana]

After finishing 11/22/63 last week, i picked up under the dome, dolores claiborne, the green mile, hearts in atlantis and danse macabre. All for just €30!

[Chuggs]

Mile 81...audio version. So far so good, but listening doesn't beat reading, but I still like it.

[Goodlovin]

Just downloaded Mile 81 and UR onto my kindle fire but am more excited about my Cafe Press Constant Reader mug that came in the mail over the weekend. I got the larger size and its done a fine job of allowing me to imbibe massive quantities of coffee this past weekend.

[nygene40]

I have been replacing some of my paperbacks and/or book club editions (and some loaners that never came back...grrr) with good hardcover editions. I just got The Dead Zone, Black House, The Wastelands, The Drawing of the Three, Wizard and Glass & the special edition of 'Salem's Lot. I have happy feet for sure!

[The Nameless]

I ordered "the girl who loved tom gordon" on Friday, it should be here within the next few days. £2.08 from playtrade.

Just ordered the dvd's of Apt Pupil and Bag Of Bones from Amazon!!

[baggy]

Soooo excited. A couple of weeks ago I decided I'm finally going to read the Dark Tower books. Purchased books 1,2,3,4, & 6 plus found a copy of the Bachman books in paperback cost $35-00 Australian (about $38-00 American) from second-hand bookshop today. Haven't been there for ages and the woman in the shop said they only came in a couple of days ago. They're not a matched set and the Bachman Book is a bit aged but it's the words inside that are important. Haven't read any of them before so am looking forward to it.

[blunthead]

I ordered The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, and The Waste Lands for my sister who wants to see what's the fuss. If she likes them, I'll get her the rest of DT. She's not new to sK, she's read The Stand. She says she likes "series" novels. She likes Stephanie Meyer. Pray for her.

[Smakface13]

I recently had to re-buy my favourite novel, The Shining, because my ex is still in possession of my original copy(I still have the torn off cover though!) and just before that I bought The Necronomicon by HP Lovecraft.. I know it's not a King book, but he has the only quote on the back of the book :D

I also oredered the Norwegian translation of The Long Walk, which I found out excisted 3 days ago. So I'm quite excited about that. No doubt it's better in its original language, but it's still fun to read as many versions as possible. :grinning:

[Debbie913]

I recently recieved a copy of the Grant edition of The Wind Through The Keyhole! It was a gift from my oldest son, Brandon!

[kingricefan]

Just bought the newest comic installments of The Dark Tower The Way Station #3, American Vampire #24 and Road Rage #1. Also found at Barnes & Noble a really cool omnibus leather bound edition called Stephen King Three Novels that contains Carrie, 'Salem's Lot and The Shining for only $20!! I'd seen this particular volume on Ebay but the seller was asking way too much money for it, something like $49 plus shipping!

A few days ago I recieved my copy of the artist edition of Wind Through the Keyhole. It is very cool!

Also, Donald M. Grant Publisher has a very down to earth, small business feel. I am not sure if that is really the case, but the box my book came in had actual stamps for the postage. I had never seen a five dollar postage stamp before. :cool2:

Mine had the stamps too. Grant books is a very small publisher, I think there's only about 3 or 4 permanent people on staff? They've hired more help to get the King books shipped out tho.

[king family fan]

Mine was also the same. I think it was really neat.Felt so personal instead of commericalized.

Went to Seattle Last week, hit my usual used bookstore/thriftstore haunts and bought a nice Needful Things hardback, A beautiful 1st printing large paperback of The Bachman Books, a nice hardback copy of The Shining which had the original $8.95 price on the dj which I switched out with the dj from my true 1st Printing copy that had a so-so dj on it and a copy of Antaeus The Final Issue which has the original version of Blind Willie in it. Also found a signed copy of The Wolf Gift by Anne Rice!!!!

Technically my most recent SK - related purchase was tickets to Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. About a week before that I ordered Wind Through the Keyhole. (It's awesome, by the way)

My last two purchases were 3 SK books including The Gunslinger which I am currently reading & a T-shirt with his face and signature on it.

I bought a second copy of Blockade Billy yesterday I found it at Big Lots for $3.00. I'm still trying to think of a good reason why I needed a second copy?:wink2: I told my husband it was just because I do. I don't think he liked that answer much.

[king family fan]

He will get over it.

My friend Jenny the artist is doing a portrait for me. I asked her to do a painting based on the work of Stephen King and she said she was feeling a portrait. She likes his face. So I said go for it!
She's on phase 2 now. Thought I'd share the progress of her work with you lot. :love:

Yesterday I picked up a copy of IT. I think I'll have to tape the cover...it's almost falling off. I can't complain though....I love seeing books that have been loved so much they are wearing out. (Am I weird? Am I supposed to just love crisp clean books?)

Anyway...the price was right. Not only did I not have to pay...I now have a $1.40 credit with the store. I turned in four books.

[djpaterson]

11/22/63 was the latest, and The Wind Through the Keyhole is next (next week in fact!)

[Patricia A]

I ordered the Wind Through the Keyhole audio book, I can get a hardback for my preeeecccciouuuuusss... I mean my bookcase, later. Stephen King reading it himself was the clincher on that deal. I love it when authors read their own stories. Gaiman reads a mean-ass Gaiman too.

I also got this t-shirt. There is a story of human weakness behind this shirt. It was featured on Teefury, a really cool website that features one tee a day for 10 bucks but once it's gone it's gone. I saw it and fell in love with it, and wanted to buy it but I said NO! and went about my business.
Days passed, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. Long story less long, I hunted it down to the artist's website, found it, it was way more than I was willing to pay and I said NO!, and ordered it anyhow.

Ooh Patricia, that shirt is foine! :cool2: Do you have it yet? As I said in another thread earlier, I'm not a gal for t~shirts, but all this cool SK related stuff could tempt me into wearing them...for bed! :biggrin2:

Anyhoo, obviously I purchased TWTTK last week, so that was the last official purchase. I've also just bought two tickets for a stage production of Misery at a local Art Centre next weekend. Hopefully it will be good...I will report back afterwards. Ooh, and it's not a purchase but the other day I "acquired" The Green Mile books in serial format. I was at my friends house, and looking through her bookcase when on the bottom shelf I spied these six little books. Thinking out loud--as I usually do--I blurted out "I want those books!" and knowing I'm a huge King fan, and she isn't, she gave me them. Sweeeeeet! :y:
