I am attempting to collect a copy of every book in hardcover. What books haven't been released in Hardcover?
Hard covers.

I think the green mile series and the first 2 or three dark tower books. Also joyland and Colorado kid. Can't remember any others right now.
um, i have all of the above-mentioned in Hardcover.
i also prefer a HC collection. i have all HC releases, and for the most part it wasn't too challenging (PS edition of Colorado Kid, for example).
for those works that were not released in HC (Creepshow) or cost-prohibitive instances (Cycle of the Werewolf HC) where i own the SC, i'll eventually have them custom bound in HC.
That refers to the limited edition done by PS Publishing (UK).
This page on the main SK web site is a good source for you. Just click on the title and it will give you the publishing history, including formats.

i'm not sure what these sold for initially, but IIRC i paid roughly what they're currently available for at the online bookstore or online auction site... for me, it was reasonable enough.
Right off the top, the only ones I can come up with that have never been in hardcover are two rarities--Six Stories and The New Lieutenant's Rap. Be ready to pay big $ for these.

You could add The Plant to that list. In fairness, though, The New Lieutenant's Rap and the original publications of The Plant were never intended to be for the general public. They were given by Stephen as gifts to friends and business associates.
What the heck. Am I not his friend?
I stand corrected. I had forgotten about The Plant. I don't agree that Six Stories was not intended for the general public, though. It was publicized in some of the the SF magazines. That's how I got my copy.
<Edit> I just realized you hadn't mention Six Stories in your response. Sorry.

Are you concerned about hard back only or first run hard back? Personally, I'm attempting to get everything in first run HB (when possible). That Carrie is going to be a tough one.
First run if possible. Gunslinger and Carrie both scare me.
You are his fan, not his friend.What the heck. Am I not his friend?
She just might be his number one fan.......
The only one that comes to mind for me is this one:
It has the original Cycle Of The Werewolf story and Stephen King's screenplay for Silver Bullet.
