Magic Secondhand Store

[aussie12]

Hi all
I have a Salvation Army second hand store near me and I normally go there to look at the books. Just about every time I go they have Stephen King books that I don't have !!!
Just yesterday I went there and picked up 3 books, Rose Madder, Bag of Bones, and one called Stephen King goes to the movies which has 5 stories in it and they cost only $3.50 each.
Just when I think that I have all of his books I always seem to find more at that shop ???
I'm sure that someone puts them there just for me !!!

Welcome! Thrift store finds are the BEST! There's a thread called 'Your Latest Thrift store Purchase' where you can post your finds.

Hi all
I do buy new Stephen King books as well, every new release so he still gets my money !!!

I've managed to build most of my book collection because of thrift stores.

I used the main Stephen King website to create a document in my phone that lists all the books. That way I am prepared going into thrift stores and used book stores! I nearly have everything checked off now, which makes the search even more exciting!

I have a short list in my head: I'd like standard copies of The Stand (original), The Shining, and Christine, all of which I have in bookclub editions (my last ones). Someday I'll find them (and I know I can get them on Ebay, but the thrill of the secondhand hunt is more fun ) When I was younger, I had almost all PBs, and have gradually replaced them with HBs. I'll eventually have to replace my DotT and Wastelands, too--they're the trade PB originals, and they're beginning to fall apart. Seeing as DotT is almost 30 years old and has been read countess times, that ain't too bad for a PB
