Yup. No idea if they're worth anything, but I love themI've seen these editions on ebay and they are certainly pretty, aren't they? Great score!!
Ooooo, I love the look and feel of this book! The thick, black cloth with the stamping of the skull, crossbones and wings done on the front. Beautiful book! That's a great find! There are some amazing stories inside.....Dark Forces: New Stories of Suspense and Supernatural Horror (1980), first edition, decent condition, $10 at a used book store. Features the first appearance of "The Mist".
Yay awesome deal. signed for $1.99. can"t beat that.Big score today! Found a real nice 1st Plume Printing copy of The Gunslinger and a 2nd hardback printing of The Bachman Books omnibus edition ($2.99 each). And, at Goodwill, I found a real nice AUTOGRAPHED hardback copy of Dust by Patricia Cornwell for $1.99! Woohoo!
Hi Jonesy! I have done a fair share of buying from them. They have pretty much anything you could want- books, dvd's, etc. Most of their merchandise is used, so please make sure you read the descriptions and check to see if the icons for 'missing dust jacket' or 'ex-library copy' is noted. I would say I have bought maybe 2 dozen items from them and have only been disappointed twice (seller described item as a hardback and what I got was a trade paperback and another time the item was described as a limited signed/numbered and what I got was a bookclub edition). Both times the seller refunded my money with no trouble. I didn't even have to send back the books (I donated them). Shipping is included in all purchases, too. You can get a nice hardback book for a mere $3.99! If you're not too picky about your books, I would give them a try. Also, if you order multiple titles from the same seller you can get discounts. You can also make a 'wish list' and be notified by email when an item you're watching is available. Good luck!KingRiceFan, I've never heard of thriftbooks.com- do you order from them on a regular basis? Is it a reliable site? I'm asking because in a few weeks, I'm planning on ordering a number of books. I've only dealt with amazon a few times. how does thriftbooks compare?
Thanks in advance.
That's a GREAT book! Lots of obscure King essays in there. Enjoy!Finally bought Secret Windows at 2nd & Charles. Unread hardback for $4.
Thank-ee! I've heard from several folks on here and other places that it's fantastic. Not sure why I've never ordered it or anything....just one of those things I guess!That's a GREAT book! Lots of obscure King essays in there. Enjoy!
