Gallery... I remembered there was another, but couldn't recall the name. Not quite as classy as the other two.
Oh yes he did.Nah, I don't think King wrote for Gent, so no reason for them to get stolen, is how I figure.
Really? How did I miss that one? I was such an avid reader back then.
I may be wrong though. I am Googling but not really coming up with anything solid.Really? How did I miss that one? I was such an avid reader back then.
Edit: Wait. Just found this...
I wonder what the magazine cost back in 1977... two bits?
...bare boobs and Unca Steve...awesome.....just awesome.....
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
King's published stories in Gent:
The Boogeyman - December 1975
Strawberry Spring - February 1977
The Cat from Hell - December 1977 (ending by Mark Rains)
Man With a Belly - November/December 1979 (actually first published in Cavalier December 1978)
I own copies of each of these.

Would it still count as theft if the lender has opted for seppuku?
Kept in the back room of the Stephen King collection?
But they would have first editions with library pockets glued inside.....THE HORROR!
It's a good question, made even when you consider that the item being stolen is free for the taking, virtually as long as you need it.
Seinfeld had a funny thing to say about this (as he did about so many things): I don't get this fascination with books. Once you've read them, what good are they?
A silly question to ask on a forum like this, but not such a silly question to ask at the library.
Jeez . . . I hope it's not collectors. Can you imagine?
I could almost forgive some kid who couldn't be bothered with the whole "library card" thing and probably meant to bring it back and then just . . . you know . . . forgot. Almost I could forgive that. But somebody who sees an "edition" they like and figures it's okay to just take it and keep it for themselves?
And not even to read it, but just to "have" it?
No. The person who would do that wouldn't want to meet me. Maybe I just don't get the collector's mentality.

This whole discussion reminds me of a visit I made to one of the libraries in my area a long time ago. I was checking out the Stephen King books that were on the shelf and discovered their copy of The Shining was a first edition, first printing. I have to admit I was tempted, but instead took it up to the circulation desk and told them that this was a fairly valuable book. The librarian thanked me and put it somewhere for safekeeping. It did not go back on the shelf.

How do they distinguish between stolen, lost, and in the library but not scanned back in?
