'Four Past Midnight'
'The Dark Tower' books I thru IV
Cell

I just need 'Black House' 'Lisey's Story' and 'The Dark Tower' parts V-VII and my used paperback collection is complete!

[not_nadine]

My Constant Reader shirt is on it's way! :smile2:

[91rewoT]

Just bought two plane tickets to the KingKon!!! Yay!!!!!

[Neesy]

I just splurged big time yesterday... :biggrin2: I am now the proud owner of 25 of Stephen's books. I went to a place called Value Village that we have here and looked through the horror section. I reorganized the books and put all of Stephen King's books in one area which actually filled about 1 1/2 shelves. Naturally I chose those books which were in the best condition. Perhaps I should be more specific - I have 24 Stephen King books and one book called "The Talisman" by Stephen King and another author (Peter Straub, I believe). It was a buy four books and get one free kind of deal so when I told the girl I had 24 I had to run back and quickly grab another. It is a good start to my collection as I recently cleared off my book shelf. I look forward to collecting the whole set! yee haw! p.s. I now own the Dark Tower series which I have not read yet, as well as It (another one I have not read)

[Neesy]

Just bought the BluRay/DVD edition of Misery on Amazon- it was less than $10!! CHEAP!! By the way, anyone know how Kathy Bates is doing? Haven't heard/saw anything about her in the news- hoping that she is winning her battle!!
Sorry to hear Kathy Bates is not doing well - this is the first I have heard of it. Hope everything turns out okay for her. I just bought a copy of Misery and there is an interesting photo inside (sort of a second cover inside) and the guy in the picture looks a bit like Stephen King well to me he does, anyway :laugh:

[king family fan]

Hi Neesy! Yes, it's definately Sai King on that 'cover'! It was his little 'gift' to all of his 'number 1 fans' out there. Congrats on the great book score too! It's always great fun to add to our collections! Sounds like you made the haul of the century! :laugh:

That is just too cool, what a great find!

I just ordered the audio book of 11/22/63, can't wait to get it.

[kingricefan]

Well, it took an hour and many, many 'refresh' attempts and opening three seperate 'windows', but I think I finally was able to order the signed limited edition of The Shining from Sub Press!! I have an order confirmation number, so hopefully it went thru. Not happy with how this all went, it was a repeat of when S & S took orders for 11/22/63- that was a fiasco!

Unfortunately, on the receiving end of the order process, it's like being barraged by friendly fire. :smile2: No matter how you try to prepare for it, the deluge of requests coming in quite often overburden the servers, which is what happened today as well and until SP was able to have their hosting service allocate more bandwidth, it was causing the site to go down.

[jchanic]

I was able to order a signed limited of The Shining after "only" an hour and 10 minutes of trying. But I got one!

[Shasta]

I bought "Guns" by Mr. King. Don't want to work. Just want to read.

[kingricefan]

Bought 'Guns' for my Kindle on my pc. Very interesting read, I must say!! (Marsha- you have my sincere condolences for the upcoming barrage of 'stuff' coming your way- remember, we're here for you!! :love: )

[kingricefan]

So, I had my little trip to Seattle and did my bookshopping and this is what I got:
a really nice trade paperback UK edition of Blaze
an excellant hardback 'Collector's Set' of Just After Sunset that has the dvd of 'N' in it (never even opened), it was on the clearance bin at Half Price Books for $2.00-yes, only $2.00!!!

Best of all was the paperback of 'Discovering Stephen King' by Darrell Schweitzer that had two postcards in it- one was from Stephanie Leonard (who is King's sister-in-law and one time editor of 'Castle Rock- The Stephen King Newsletter) and the other postcard is handwritten which I believe is in Stephen King's writing!! You be the judge:

1671516716

Got this at Half Price Books also, all for only $10.00!! I'm pretty sure that it's King's writing- I think he usually signs 'Steve' when he knows the person. Even if it's not his siggy, it is still a bargain. :love:

[king family fan]

Awesome! Lucky find.

I made my last payment on my Gunslinger 1st. I seriously cannot wait. I may cry when it arrives.

[samhain]

Wow. 2 cool finds right there! Congrats!

[samhain]

Oh yeah.....picked up 'Bag of Bones' on DVD at Wal-mart for 5 bucks. Watched it for the first time over the weekend and quite liked it.

Hey, Shasta, good for you!! You're going to LOVE this book! I remember the first time I saw my copy- I thought it was the most wonderful-exotic book I'd ever seen! It even smells exotic! One note of difference between the 1st and 2nd printings, besides the endpapers being in color in the 1st printing, there is also a picture of a black skull in a circle on the very last page that is NOT in the 2nd printing. Enjoy!

[jchanic]

I got this yesterday. It's the unbound 2nd draft manuscript of The Wind Through the Keyhole.

I got the black skull!! I got the black skull!

Soon, I will post happy pictures of me and my Gunslinger. I am so happy it came.

And it was delivered to someone else's house and they very kindly brought it to me. They had no idea what they had!!

I recommend David at Betts Books to ANY collector.

Got a copy of Weirdbook 19, which contains the first appearance of 'Gramma'. It's in beautiful condition!!

[kingricefan]

Just pre-ordered the upcoming limited anniversary editions of both 'Pet Semetary' and 'Christine' from Subterranean Press. The actual publisher is PS Publishing based in the UK, but I can't find any info on their site to order these puppies, so had to order them thru Sub Press!

[king family fan]

Thats awesome!I got my Cemetary Dance baseball cap.

[Todash]

The Stephen King Movie Quiz Book, which happens to be written by a couple of friends of mine, but is nonetheless nifty. It's divided into movies, and then easy, medium, and hard questions. I just got it today and haven't had much of a chance to look through it, but what I've seen looks fun. I might be quizzing you all later ... SO BE PREPARED. :biggrin2:

[Todash]

I often wish I had developed that skill. :sad:
It's never too late to learn a new skill. I'll help. Go start a thread in one of the debate forums, taking a stance but not defending it particularly well (doesn't matter what it is), and then I will come in and poke holes in your logic, and you try not to get offended. Bonus points if you successfully answer my rebuttal. We'll just go back and forth for a while that way, because practice makes perfect.

It's for your own good.

[Todash]

Hmm, I thought I'd posted this other stuff, but looking back through, I see I have not. Prior to buying the quiz book, I ordered the 1990 (unabridged) hardback of The Stand, the 1980 Signet paperback version of The Stand, and <drumroll please> the original 1978 hardback of The Stand. (For what little I paid for the 1978 hardback in supposedly very good condition including jacket, I expect it to be book club, but one never knows.)

Also, at Vintage Stock, I picked up DVDs of Stand By Me, The Green Mile, and The Shawshank Redemption. My 13-year-old nephew Connor was here last night and today, and he's watched Stand By Me at least twice. :biggrin2: (He hadn't seen it before.)

[Shoe]

Woo! Found a used First Edition copy in great shape of 'Salem's Lot Illustrated Edition!

[Shoesalesman]

Creepshow comic/magazine (semi-decent copy) & another Cujo hardcover.

[Shoesalesman]

The Green Mile audio cassettes; all six boxes (twelve cassettes in total). Don't think they've even been played yet.

[~Ally~]

I bought some SK related t~shirts...The Dark Tower, KA, Constant Reader and They All Float Down Here.
I also bought a bumper sticker that says the latter. :cool2:

[Todash]

Technically this doesn't count because it's not a purchase, BUT dear Shasta sent me a 1st ed of The Dead Zone. :love2:

[kingricefan]

Just found a real nice paperback copy of Full Dark, No Stars at Goodwill for 99 cents! Love them thrift stores!!

[blunthead]

I bought my Dad's lawyer a few books the other day, The Great Divorce by CSLewis, The Shack by William P Young, and Desperation by...oh, yeah, you already know who.

I've read Double Feature already; if you enjoyed his first book (We're All In This Together), then I'd say the odds are excellent that you will love this novel. I did! (I've got a review up on my blog, if you're interested...and if you'll pardon the self-promotion. Check it out here (http://thetruthinsidethelie.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-review-of-double-feature-by-owen-king.html) if you like.)

My most recent King purchase was a trio of the Talisman comics: #0, #1, and #5. I've got the hardback, but I didn't have several of the single issues. Now I've got three more of them, which means that once I find a copy of #2, I'll have a complete set.

A better-condition Different Seasons hardcover.

[kingricefan]

Just purchased the bluray two-disc edition of 'The Mist' from amazon. Has the original theatrical version plus the 'director's version' in black and white (which is how Darabont wanted it done in the first place but the 'studio' said they wanted a color version. Haven't seen the B&W version, so am waiting for that!)Brand spanking new and it was only $7.13 + shipping! A little over $10 for a bluray! There's still a couple of copies available in case anyone's interested!

[king family fan]

I got two audios with King himself reading them. The Gunslinger and The drawing of the Three.Got Carrie,Salems Lot and the shining all in one book.First words,Reading stephen king and The rough guide to Horror movies. Good hall for second hand store.

I like the black and white version more than the color. One thing, though, is that the flames REALLY look fake in the B&W version.

I bought my Dad's lawyer a few books the other day, The Great Divorce by CSLewis, The Shack by William P Young, and Desperation by...oh, yeah, you already know who.
I've been meeting with the lawyer for a while. He knows I'm a sK fan (in fact, he, his wife, and his office assistant saw Ghost Brothers of Darkland County because I told them about it!), and the other day he and I got into a conversation about sK novels which have a "religious" connection. So, I recommended Desperation, then offered to get him a copy.

[Julian Schaefer]

latest SK related? Dan Simmon's Flashback.
They quoted stephen king, praising simmons: he wishes he could write like him. So it was an easy buy.

Flashback was more a 3/5 kinda book, but It lead me to the Hyperion Cantos, a superb Sci-Fi tetralogie
After the first book I had a better understanding what King meant.

But I'm curious which book SK had in mind as he stated that, probably not flashback ;-D

[The Nameless]

Every now and then I pop into my local charity shop looking for books - I find sk books and help a cancer charity, everyone wins - but last time in there, I looked at the dvds and found the green mile for £1.50 so bought it, it has been on loads over here recently, and I had never caught it from the beginning.

[Patricia A]

The sK one is really very good.
I have it hung where I can see it from my office area at home. He judges me when I am not working on my writing, it helps. Jenny actually showed that painting in her Seattle show and it was a hit. She got a schit-ton of offers on it but she gave it to me because she wanted it to have a home where it would be loved. She's done all sorts of paintings of authors and other artists. This was her first Stephen King, she says he's got a beautiful and interesting face. I agree.

Very nice Patricia!

I didn't buy anything King related but I am painting a picture of the Dark Tower and the field of roses on the wall in my laundry room. Husband thinks I've gone off my rocker. I don't know why he cares, he never goes in there so it shouldn't matter to him.:laugh:

I am very lucky like that. :y:
I love Jenny's work. One day when I was looking at some paintings and sketches she had done, I asked her if she had ever considered doing a Stephen King portrait to add to her other artist collection and she said no, that's how that thing happened. She's the bomb.
I did have to pay for the clock tho.

Owen's story...he's related to Stephen King! :hi:

[blunthead]

I recently bought a friend a copy of The Princess Bride by William Goldman, which is related to sK since Goldman (not Golding) wrote the screenplays for Misery and Dreamcatcher, and whom is mostly responsible for my being a CR in the first.

[kingricefan]

Just bought Owen King's 'Double Feature'!!! I enjoyed his first book of stories and hope that I will enjoy his first novel as well.

'My name is AchtungBaby and I am a Kingaholic.' Hey, we're all in the same boat here. Just enjoy! :51_002:

[shookme]

Full Dark, No Stars was my last SK purchase.

Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've bought one of his books. I better get to the store.

[kingricefan]

Just picked up a really nice hardback copy of The Dark Tower VII at Goodwill for $1.99!!

[king family fan]

Just ordered Double Feature from Books a million. Now I must wait patientily.Hope its quick. LOL not very patient.

[bryantburnette]

Just bought Owen King's 'Double Feature'!!! I enjoyed his first book of stories and hope that I will enjoy his first novel as well.

If you liked We're All In This Together, you'll like Double Feature at least as much, I'd guess.

My latest King purchase was the soundtrack to Hearts In Atlantis.

[Shoesalesman]

Collectors Edition books (1991) of Carrie and 'Salem's Lot at a thrift store for $3 each. Never seen these editions before.

[Shoesalesman]

*headslap!*

Apologies! Just noticed that I put this in another thread by mistake a few days ago. Should have gone here...


Better condition softcover copies of Insomnia and Four Past Midnight. (I'm replacing and passing on my used, tattered softcovers for ones that have uncracked spines and are as blemish-free as possible)

Collectors Edition books (1991) of Carrie and 'Salem's Lot at a thrift store for $3 each. Never seen these editions before.

The first three of the 'Collector's' editions are nice covers but they really dropped the ball on the covers on the next three....YUCK!!

[blunthead]

Paperback IT. Gotta a good deal at Half.com.

Haven't seen the rest of them, will have to do some research. I picked up these first two mostly because of the forewards by Clive Barker and Tabby.

[Christiane17]

This week-end I bought the french translated 22/11/63. Just so good. It makes me relax of my day taking care of my hubby who's recovering from his surgery. I'm so glad I'm a SK fan. Nothing like his writing to bring you to another world. :smile:

Just got my copy of Double feature by Owen king

[kingricefan]

They did Dead Zone (intro by Anne Rivers Siddons), Firestarter (intro by John Grisham) and Cujo (intro by Dan Simmons). The covers are just awful, tho!!

[kingricefan]

Picked up a beautiful hardback 1st printing of 'Song Of Susannah' at Goodwill! Another thrift shop score!!

[Christiane17]

Hope the hubby is doing well.
For now, it's one day at the time, but I can say frankly that he's recovering well, thank you for asking. :okay:

[kingricefan]

Got a real nice large paperback copy of 'Gerald's Game' at a thrift store. It looks just like the hardback. Same illustration as the dj for the hardback. It doesn't say anything inside like it's a BOMC or Quality Paperbck edition. I have been slowly adding these types of paperbacks to my collection. Some of them say BOMC or Quality Paperbacks and they all have the same covers as the original hardbacks have. I have them for Delores Claiborne, Four Past Midnight, Misery, The Dark Half, & The Stand (new uncut version).

[jchanic]

Do they have a printed price on them?

John

[kingricefan]

Do they have a printed price on them?

John

No, that's what makes them so odd. Some of the do say inside on the CR page 'BOMC' or 'Quality Paperback Edition'. Gerald's Game says nothing inside, the cr page looks exactly like the one in the hardback edition, but it does have a white blank spot on the back that would be used for the ISBN barcode and number. Strange.....1726417265

I know! Weird, right?! Here's a pic of the other paperbacks:17266

I've seen one for 'Needful Things' also, but didn't get it because it wasn't in the best of shape.

Misery states 'Second Printing' on cr page, 'Dark Half' states BOMC at bottom of cr page, 'The Stand' states BOMC at bottom of cr page, 'Four Past Midnight' & 'Delores Claiborne' cr pages both look exactly like the Viking hardback editions.

[kingricefan]

Are these like what you are talking about Kingricefan?

Sort of. The only ones that are like mine are the Misery and The Stand. Four Past Midnight is a large print edition. Dreamcatcher is a UK edition. Bag of Bones looks like a legit edition with a price listed on it?, as does 11/22/63 and Under The Dome. None of mine have prices listed on the covers and they are not Advance Readers Copy(s) or ARC's. I believe what I have are BOMC editions but in paperback. Not really sure tho. Even jchanic (see post up above) is questioning them and he's got THE mega King collection here.......:dunno:

I thought I saw one like yours on Ebay at $160.00, but now I can't find it. That seems a little low, even for an opening bid.
You have a great book there, give it lots of TLC and a hug from me!

[CCRider529]

I purchased 'Blaze'. Had to order it from the United Kingdom.

[jchanic]

I've seen some of those large-sized paperbacks (and I own Misery) but I'm almost positive they are all some type of book club editions. Thus the lack of a price and/or ISBN number.

That's what I was thinking, too. Odd that some of them just don't even have any mention of their being club editions.

Don't forgot about the limited run merchandise at the SK store on Cafe Press. It's SK related and helps the Haven Foundation too. Ck it out in NEWS.
Just ordered a few items for B'day gifts.

Look on the publisher's page and find the series of 10 to 13 numbers. Shoot those to me and I'll look them up and see what I can find.
If there are 4 sets of ISBN #'s send them all and I'll try to sort them out.

I ordered the North Central Positronics T-Shirt. If you are a normal sized large human female, do not order the "large" in ladies fitted. If you are in fact a large lady squirrel go for it! It's teeeeeeeny weenie. I called cafepress and they are replacing it for free. Now I need to find a teeeeeeeny person to give the one they let me keep to. Their customer service was amazing and I am more than satisfied with how they resolved the issue.

Maybe you should bring it to the Kon...use it as a prize or something? Sounds like CafePress has exemplary Customer Service, letting you keep the shirt and all. WTG Cafe Press!

[Spideyman]

Pats, have always found Cafe Press to be excellent with service and delivery. Their products have been quality too. Yes, I know about the sizing. I usually order up a size on women's items, but men's runs truer in size.

I have never had a problem with anything I've gotten from them. I felt bad about it, because some of the proceeds go to charity. The lady told me it wouldn't effect how the donations work out so I felt better. I actually volunteered to send it back but she said, no it's our gift.
Good idea about bringing it to the Kon, but I'm telling you it's teeeeeeny. It looks like a child's size actually.

It's not about the Vietnam war. The war is mentioned a few times in passing, but it's not about that. Read it, you'll like it.

The very hard-to-find in new condition "Maximum Overdrive" DVD. My bf has the VHS and it's just about wore-out. Both of us are huge AC/DC fans, I'm an internet radio DJ and play a lot of it.

I was to my usual used bookstore this weekend. Got me a couple of Fantasy and horror books with King stories in them. A copy of George Beahms The Stephen King Campanion revised edition and a hard cover of Storm of the Century.

I did a return at the store yesterday on a pristine hard cover copy of Storm of the Century. The customer was tres upset that it was a screen play and not a novel. (I wrote SCREEN PLAY on the tag, mind you.) She went on and on and on as I cheerfully refunded her money and apologized for the misunderstanding. So here's the clincher, the guy in line behind her was absolutely bugged eyed as I completed the transaction with the disgruntled lady customer.
As soon as it was his turn to check out he asked me if he could buy the book she had returned. I said sure, you know it's a screen play right? He said, of course I do I have been looking for that for ages.
Ka is wheely.

The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, I got it for about a buck. The SK story "The Doctor's Case" was first published in this anthology back in the eighties... I think.
It's really good and perfect for this book. The story still tastes like Stephen King, but with a touch of.... bergamot?
This is a great anthology with a whole pack of clever writers. The Doctor's Case was later published in Nightmares & Dreamscapes. It fit nicely in there too.

Just got my signed & numbered Grant edition of The Talisman in the mail today. Laws, yes, this is simply a gorgeous book!! I already had a copy of the 'gift' edition, so I knew what all the illustrations looked like, but this edition just beats the crap out of that and most other King limiteds! Donald Grant (the publisher, rest in Peace) loved books and it shows in this one! I had been wanting this particular edition for years, and the stars finally lined up right for me to purchase it! I have to go do my happy dance now.........

I just recieved my copy of bag of bones, paper back (but the same size as most hard backs) very good condition, £1.60 from play trade. It is the second book I have got that is the size of a hard back, but is paper back, the other one is dark tower 7, that is annoying because it doesn't fit my d.t collection.

IT on dvd and 11/22/63 on paperback. Of course, I already got the hardcover of the book, but for the sake of re-reading, I find paperback more comfortable for my thumbs. The IT dvd is on a two sided disc, that's something new to me, no label.

Insurance for my book collection - FINALLY!

And here's a funny story. When I called and told the woman what I wanted to insure she flipped out. She was so nice and she loves Stephen King! I tried to get her to join the board. Hopefully she will! She'll be a great and fun addition for us!

I am so proud of you! There's not alot of folken who think about the insurance end for their collections. You just never know what could happen, so it's good to be covered!

It is quite ramdom when you run into "one of us" :smile2: I got a book from a thrift store, and a bottle of wine ah em.. from somewhere else and told them about the board. Big fans both

Won't give my user name thou.. I have to see them for real. :tongue:

11/22/63, which I read much too quickly.

[The Nameless]

I got my well used 2nd hand (just how I like them) copy of Eyes of the Dragon today. I am going to order an old copy of The Bachman Books tomorrow, the older ones have "Rage" as part of it, where as the later ones do not. Can't grumble at less than £3 for an out of print version of a book.

[Daveboyjones]

Cycle of the Werewolf. Like it so far ...

[king family fan]

Got me some audios today.In the Tall Grass and Mile 81 on CD. Wastelands read by King on cassette.

I didn't know that later printings of The Bachman Books didn't include Rage. Interesting!

[not_nadine]

I am thinking of getting the audiobook of "Under The Dome". I have the book, read it. but say sorry, life happened and I don't know if I finished it.

Is this a good audiobook to listen to? Newbie to audiobooks - and that is going to be on TV

[kingricefan]

Hi JOhn, I think in the UK they are still printing the Bachman Books as an omnibus edition (minus Rage) but in the US we don't have that option, you can only get the books individually (but not Rage, of course).

[king family fan]

This is some what king related. Lord of the Flies A readers companion.Thought it should be interesting to have. I read Lord of the Flies a while back.

[Shasta]

I am so proud of you! There's not alot of folken who think about the insurance end for their collections. You just never know what could happen, so it's good to be covered!

Thank you! It's a huge weight off my mind. Every time someone comes on here and says their entire collection was lost in a fire/flood/tornado of an ex I would get worried so I'm glad I finally did it!

(Btw, does anyone else feel like entire King collections seem to be destroyed at an abnormally high rate?)

Yeah, that's right. The old ones available on the 2nd hand market contain Rage -

But you can still get new printings of The Bachman Books featuring The Running Man, Roadwork, and The Long Walk -

I am quite surprised that the collective is not available in the US.

Well, maybe if we went on over to the Danielle Steel website and perused the threads there we might see that there have been losses to her readers book collections also? ;-D But, I get what you mean, there do seem to be a few members coming on here and stating that their collections were destroyed or given away by angry exes. You know the saying: everyone's a critic! :hahahahaha:

[Speedygi81]

Oh wow, I got Carrie on paperback with a new copy....would that prompt a reread? Who knows?:)

This one is rather unique in that the proof contains King's story, but the finished book does not. I don't know the story behind it.

That is very interesting! I wonder what the reason was, too. I have that book in paperback and there are alot of great stories within its covers.

I did too! I can't wait!

Oblong books (Oblongbooks.com) is preordering signed copies of Kelly Braffet's new book as well. I'm going to order it and then I'll have signed copies from the entire King family who write!

[king family fan]

I need order Kellys too. and then i must get a signed one of Tabithas.

[TheOneTC]

Just picked up a first edition (1987 Viking hardcover) of Misery at the Salvation Army for a cool $1

Sweet! To paraphrase Forrest Gump: Life is like a thrift store, you never know what you're gonna find. Thrift store finds are the BEST!

[TheOneTC]

Yeah, I kick myself every time I go, because I usually find something good and I never check them as often as I should.

Still doesn't beat the flea markets though. I found a hardcover first edition/first printing of The Bachman Books at a flea market while on vacation in Florida last year. Paid $5 for it. I felt bad, but the guy knew it was a first print and said that's all he wanted.

Now THAT'S a good deal. Just picked up a second hardcover of The Stand for the office. Also found a strange hardcover of the same book, but it's printed on thin paper (like in a bible) and it's small enough to be a softcover. Weird.

Sounds like it might be a pirated edition- check the last few pages and see if it's from Taiwan or China.

This paperback-sized hardcover seems legit. From cover to cover - exact same content as the regular hardcover. Looks to be a 2008 reissue of the Complete and Uncut version. Says 'Paw Prints' by the ISBN number on the back over. Never seen such a small hardcover before.

Finally got my Joe hill book today.NOS4A2

[Skeletal_Dragon]

I just bought old copies of Talisman, Different Seasons and a Story Collection called Gallery of Horror, which has one of his stories in it.

[Shasta]

I need a dust cover for my first edition of the Stand. If anyone comes across a second or third for cheap with a dust cover please let me know and I will buy it. Cheap, please!!!

[Skeletal_Dragon]

Hi JOhn, I think in the UK they are still printing the Bachman Books as an omnibus edition (minus Rage) but in the US we don't have that option, you can only get the books individually (but not Rage, of course). Actually it's still possible to find a copy of The Bachman Books with Rage in it because I have bought it at a bookstore a while back. Although I don't understand why Rage is banned. Why is it really?

[Speedygi81]

I went crazy, good pals, and preordered Joyland and Doctor Sleep for my Amazon Kindle in one fell swoop. There you go, a strong case for the convenience of E - books. It took me less than an ounce of energy to depress my mouse button to check these out. Cheers!

[Moderator]

Stephen voluntarily pulled Rage from future printings. He discusses the reasons why in greater detail in his essay, "Guns", but this excerpt puts it in a nutshell:

"...I didn’t pull Rage from publication because the law demanded it; I was protected under the First Amendment, and the law couldn’t demand it. I pulled it because in my judgment it might be hurting people, and that made it the responsible thing to do...."

[Jojo87]

We still have a translated copy of Rage (trans. Raivo) in our local library. Cause I read it few years back. Of course
I am not sure if it's still there. Haven't been to library for a while or so.

[Shoesalesman]

Who is the publisher listed on the copyright page?

Top two lines on the page say: Signet, Published by New American Library, division of Penguin Group. When doing some research on it, the results come back as a 2008 reissue. There's no price indicted anywhere on the book itself, and there's a small picture of two cats above the Paw Prints logo.

That's still sounding suspiciously like a pirated copy as Signet/NAL/Penguin wasn't the publisher for The Stand. I just went to their official site (both US and Canadian) and nothing comes up in a search for either The Stand or Paw Prints.

Sure, the front and back covers and the copyright page would be the most important ones to help identify it.

I put the book next to TK paperback to show the size. The spine has The Stand and Stephen's name, that's it. No price anywhere on or in the book.

[kingricefan]

Looks like it's a paperback that has been Library bound.

[kingricefan]

Got my copy of Joe Hill's NOS4A2 today from Amazon. It's a third printing! :mad: Can you believe that happy-crappy? Shipped on the day of release and it's a third printing! Well, I guess that's good news for Joe, right? Looks like this one might make it to #1 on the bestseller list.

[jchanic]

That would be my guess also. I'm not familiar, though, with the "Paw Prints" logo.

WOW thats fast!

[bryras]

Just got off work early and went to Hastings. Got a few books and a bunch of music.

NOS4A2 was on sale for $19.99. Love Joe Hill! I'm stoked!

Owen King - Double Feature was on sale for $26.00. Does this mean he is a better writer than Joe? :grinning: This will be my first book from him. I'm really excited!

Don't know which one to start first.

[bryras]

My Joe Hill book doesn't have a copyright page. How can I tell what printing it is?

[bryras]

Derf! :laugh: Sorry, I was flipping too many pages! I do like the way the book's pages aren't cut evenly on the right and side. My copy of Horns is like that too. The only other book I have like that is East of Eden by Steinbeck.

Got lucky on both books. Both first editions!

[Shoesalesman]

Picked up the two-CD Mile 81 package.

[The Nameless]

Finally got round to getting an old copy of the Bachman Books, the one with Rage, Long Walk, Road Works and Running Man. It was £2.50 and is in very well used condition - all in tact, not tears but nicely aged - I like them better that way.

[kingricefan]

Bought 'The Dark Tower: Evil Ground', the 1st part of a two part comic book series. I think the 2nd part should be out by now, I'll have to stop in at the comic book store later this week.
