Rarities

[Neil W]

OK, so what are the rarest SK books?

As far as I'm concerned, book are for reading not investment, but I am aware that some books from popular/significant authors have greater rarity value than others, and SK is one of those authors.

I have tried to collect hardbacks since I realised I'd lost a lot of my paperbacks, and I now have most of SK's books in hardback (I wasn't bothered about editions, book club copies etc.), but I may have picked up the odd copy which was, though that was never my intent.

I think the Green Mile hardback might be quite rare, also the Colorado Kid hardback? Maybe also the Creepshow trade paperback with comic art by by Bernie Wrightson.

If someone was setting out to buy SK books as investments, rather than for reading, what should be on their target list?

If you're talking about King books that were available at the local bookstore, then this one is a rare one:

I believe, "Rage" is not top of that list being out of print for a while.

I'm glad to see someone saying that books aren't for collecting. I'm not a collector myself. I do have a copy of Green Mile that's all in one, Rage in the Bachman Books and a copy of Thinner with a picture of Richard Bachman.

.....CD special editions are probably on that list.....

The Star Invaders

I Was A Teenage Grave Robber (retitiled In A Half World Of Horror) from Comics Review.

All those King's Garbage Truck articles.

Good luck finding that stuff.
