Your enthusiasm makes me smile... I am happy for you.
Congratulations! :)

I wish I had a copy of The Stand with a dust jacket. I found my copy at a yard sale and the jacket was missing. I'm just happy to have been able to replace my long lost original copy.

Great score! I don't think you'll be disappointed with Joe's books. He's a very good writer.

Just went to Barnes & Noble and picked up my two copies of Bazaar of Bad Dreams (one for reading and one for my collection.) Price for each, after all my discounts, was $15.12. Also grabbed a copy of Robert Galbraith (JK Rowling)'s newest, Career of Evil.

Hey! (This is what I should do - buy one copy to read, and then when Andy buys me the Christmas one I can keep it for my book collection) - Great idea!

Is this the original, or the extended version? Great find either way.

Saw Cycle of the Werewolf at barnes. Didn't even know existed. Thought it was pretty cool. I assumed ( bad idea ) that COTW was just a short story that was in a collection of short stories book. Just didnt know which one. wonder why they published it like that, in a stand alone super thin book. Tried to upload a pic but no go. Sometimes it takes pic no problem then the next day no go. Go figure

For pic it's say "following error, does not match the file extension. Whatever that means.

More information on uploading images can be found here.
One thing I didn't know that might help is when I went to where u directed me it said click on upload file. Which I do. Then it said I can choose either thumbnail or full size. But when I click on upload file I never get that choice. I just choose pic and it fails. Got the size under 1mb as well. Now I have posted pics on here before. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.
