Stephen King hardcover books

**tillyn** · April 13th, 2009

Just thought i'd let you SKMBer's know that if you need some hard cover books of Steve's and you can't find them, you can always join a book club and get some of his earlier works for 20cents, depending on which site. I went to Doubleday and mystery guild and joined got all the hard covers i was trying to get to replace my paper backs. Draw back is you have to buy 5 more books. Not a problem for me , because i am always buying books.

I got almost all of my hardcover books from Bookman's, a used book store. I found that e-bay is another great place to get hard covers and limited editions.

Book Club Hardbacks have a very low resale value, as opposed to the collectible value of the actual Hardbacks. Hardbacks also have number lines for the print.

I haven't seen any difference with the ones from the book club and the actual hardbacks i bought when they originally came out. I have come across many in used books stores. I got the Bachman book hardcover and it looks the same as the original. I did get some from amazon.ca , old used for .40c the shipping cost me more than the book.

I did compare inside and out, old and new bookclub, no difference i can see.

you can get the actual hardbacks off Amazon for a price, but its worth every penny

I tried to buy everything from Stephen in hardcover, but everything I found was either way too much money (40 euros for The Stand when the paperback was 10) or the state it was in left a lot to be desired (pages that were yellow, or the dust jacket that had stains all over it). So I'm going for the hardcover if I can find a decent copy, but otherwise I'll buy the paperback.

I don't know if there are Half Price Bookstores all over, but we have several in Indiana. You have to search them, but for example, I got hardcover Bag of Bones and The Stand Uncut in great condition both for about 15 dollars. They had several other SK HC there at that time too. It's like a huge bargain bin of books check it out if you have them near you!
