My copies of The Drawing of the Three and The Talisman are both held together with duct tape. Although I am not the original owner of either one.

My paperback copy of Eyes of the Dragon looks like it was originally checked out from the Delain public library.....well read book that one is.......

Most of my books are in great condition because I am a bit prissy with my books... but my hardcover copy of The Stand uncut was from a used bookstore... I bought it when I was in college sans dust jacket... I read that book every year - and whenever there's a crisis in the U.S. that makes me want to hunker down and prepare for the worst... It's my go-to book... It looks and feels like an old friend... and there are some tears on its pages... and maybe a few stray spots from an index finger orange from eating Tang

My most "beat up" SK book is The Shining :-)
It is still my favorite!
My non-SK books in poor shape from reading are probably from Edward P. Roe, Jane Austen, and L.M. Montgomery.

i got most of my SK's second hand, so they all tell a story (pun intended-lol) but my copy of cujo takes first prize. it's kinda my 'hold all' book, have it on me just in case i get stuck for 2 hours on a metro, and now it's shaped to fit me rump

but i like a tatty book- well read, well loved

It's a tight race between Pet Sematary and Skeleton Crew followed closely by The Shining, Night Shift and Cujo.............well Christine is pretty well trashed as well.

Perhaps I could tell you what books are still in good shape??

Stephen king goes to the movies.
I passed this book around to many people who don't really take care of books like i do but it was worth it as it made about 4 new king fans and all of them now own over 5 of his books!

The Running Man. It is a pretty old copy that I got at the thrift store. You can really tell that a number of people wrapped the pages around the book while reading.

My "Under the Dome" got surprisingly beat up after one reading...I think it was just so big it got banged around a lot.

My most worn out King-related book is The Road to the Dark Tower by Bev Vincent. This is basically the Dark Tower handbook/user's guide, so I refer to it a lot.
