Huge Stephen King Fan In Desperate Need!

Not trying to sound rude or nothing but it probably takes about the same amount of time to pick it up at the library as it does to pick it up at the post office

I agree with you. Books that are special to a person should be put on a shelf so they can be read or refrenced at any time you choose.

There are quite a few hardcore fans on this site and we save our books as part of a collection and to reread. Sad to say, if there was a fire in my house, I would go for the books first, well right after the husband, I guess I see copies of this book in secondhand shops, ebay, garage sales, the library, etc. We are a friendly bunch on this site, but asking for a book from our collection, probably isn't the best idea. I know I have lent books that were never returned and it sucks because then I gotta replace it to complete my collection.

None of us would have had any idea of what your background was and I don't think anybody was intending to be rude. It seemed to me that they were offering genuine suggestions that might help you get a copy free or sooner.

Thank you, Ms. Mod.

Absolutely nothing to add.

well (sigh) glad that all worked out well. I hope you find you'r book. Hopefully you will post more about the journey to find it... It took me about a month to find my original copy of Dark Tower II, Then on the same day (Christmas) I purchased/found one in a dollar book store then someone very special gave me a copy as a present.. I think because I had hard time finding it (and I looked everyware) that when I actually got the book I cherished them more... I still have both copys and have in the past been asked to give one away, but they are special to me in a way that noone can possably understand... Mayhap thats why you'll have a hard time prying a book from our grubby little fingers....

But please let us know if you get your copy.

just thought i would update you all that were kind enough to offer suggestions. i actually ordered another copy off of ebay i paid 8dollars plus shipping for the book as soon as the auction ended in true mr. king horror story fashion the devil who took my money did not send me the book and when i filed a claim ebay replied that there was nothing they could do so im out 13dollars and still no needful things its safe to say i give up on finishing the book as i also took your advice in visiting the local library,+unfortunatly+their+copy+had+been+borrowed+but+not+r eturned.+I+will+gladly+take+any+more+advice+you+all+have+to+ give.+[QUOTE=JosephDurham;321059]I+just+looked+on+eBay,+and+there+aer+several+first+edition+h ardback+copies+available+for+a+little+under+seven+dollars.

No need to wrassle--at 5'2" and...well, a lot less than 300 pounds, I could just hide in your shadow and you'd never see me.
