I'll have to think about which book but the number was for the State police barracks in Orono, Maine.
No, it was quite a bit earlier. I keep thinking The Dark Half but not 100% sure of that.Orono is where the University of Maine is. Was it Hearts in Atlantis?
And why did he use the real number? He knows how widely read he is and that it most likely will cause trouble for them.

Yes, that was the one: Chapter Sixteen (4) "Please call me collect at the Orono State Police Barracks — 207-. Thank you.'"You didn't think I'd put it here, did you?
Thanks, Bev!Yes, that was the one: Chapter Sixteen (4) "Please call me collect at the Orono State Police Barracks — 207-. Thank you.'"You didn't think I'd put it here, did you?
ThankeeYes, that was the one: Chapter Sixteen (4) "Please call me collect at the Orono State Police Barracks — 207-. Thank you.'"You didn't think I'd put it here, did you?
Wow, what an encyclopedic knowledge. So it probably only appears in the first print run of the book?
I will check if it appears in the Dutch translation.
It just never occurred to him that people would really try calling the number.Wow, what an encyclopedic knowledge. So it probably only appears in the first print run of the book?

Seems strange it happened so late on, you would assume it was someting inconsiderate that could have happened with an early book. Unless he did it for a specific reason, but can't think what that would be...
So that's when he was young and foolish and now he's old and wise?It just never occurred to him that people would really try calling the number.
They had caller ID.I called those poster numbers way back when the trailer was first released, I believe we talked about it here at the time. No one answered.
Don't you mean caller "I.T."? BWAHAHAHAHA!They had caller ID.
Don't you mean caller "I.T."? BWAHAHAHAHA!
