Your most beat-up King book?

[Gunslinger_of_Ka]

My cheap little copy of The Gunslinger... and I've only read it twice...

My best loved and most warn book is The Stand in paperback. Most of the print on the surface is almost gone. This was my first. I lifted it from my father back when I was a teenager, he is gone now and influenced so much of my life that he never knew which makes this one so important to me.
This paperback has been with me through 4 moves and many years. Although no one has opened its cover since oh, 1980-something, time just has not been kind to this particular book. I still have a copy of almost every one of Stephen King’s work and those others have fared much better probably because most are HB.

My most beat up King book is Skeleton Crew. I have had it since I was 12 years old. It's been re read so many times by me, my brother, our friends. I just can't part with it though. It is the first SK book that I ever read, so I'll keep it, taped on cover and all!!

The Dark Half. I got it from a library used book sale...VERY beat up

Hello fans of the king

my paper back copy of desperation has seen better days

[SnakeGirlKat]

Needful things in hardcover...the dustjacket is long gone and its falling apart but I got it for free at the transfer station so it sits on my shelf until I find a better free replacement. My transfer station is literally a gold mine for SK books and I even have a few first edition hardcovers from there

My paperback version of "The Gunslinger" was pretty bad...I used to work in an auto shop, and carried in the back pocket of my work pants for a while, reading it on my breaks...it had oil, transmission fluid, and gear lube stains on it. Just shows how much it was loved!

My most beat up book is definitely "Misery", I have read the story so many times I am ashamed of myself, its still going strong though, the miracles of sellotape! It reminds me of living at home, Annie is a lot like my mother, ha ha.
I'm fast running out of Stephen King books that I haven't read, can anyone suggest any authors or books that are as easy to read as these novels? Its a long shot but someone might.

It has to be The Shining. I purchased it at a school book fair when I was in fourth grade.

My paperback of the Stand, uncut. Has more tape then paper at this point. Will never part with it Next would be the Gunslinger- read it so many time.
