I like them but I prefer first editions.
Greetings.
They've got a good beat and easy to dance to. The wife has a number of book club editions she got prior to me. I find they read the same.

Hi and welcome. The words remain the same not matter the format.
I've no problem with Book Club editions, I've several on my shelves, none by SK though.
what are the differences between them? are they less collectible? and why
The basic definition: A book club edition (BCE) or book of the month club edition (BOMC) refers to a book printed by a “book club” with cheaper materials than the original publishing house, and is generally not worth much to the serious collector.
There are certain Stephen King titles that are only available as book club editions- Secret Windows, the boxed/slip cased editions of The Green Mile and Lisey's Story, and a hardcover copy of Storm Of The Century. Most collectors tend to shy away from book club editions as they are made from cheaper materials, the paper discolors quickly and tend to fall apart.
There is the Subterranean Press boxed edition of The Green Mile which is worth a nice chunk of change.

Ayuh. I'm one of the ones that rode ol' Sparky, too! My name's in the back of the book on that list and there are a few other SKMB members on there also.
That is BEYOND cool!

The books I find at second hand stores seem to be predominately book club editions and I wonder why. Are there that many more printed than 1st editions?
