It's amazing how many different covers there are in paperback. And I've gotta find them all.The quest for King books is never ending. Once you get all of the hardbacks then you start thinking about all of the paperbacks and all of the magazines and all of the movies, etc. etc. etc...........

Just found first run edition of Cujo, Regulators, and Desperation for 16 bucks. My son was impressed that the covers matched up to make a picture on the Regulators and Desperation...he wanted to know if it was done on purpose...lol
Finally found a nice copy of Secret Windows, the book-of-the-month club companion to On Writing. Lots of good stuff in here. I especially liked the two juvenilia pieces from Dave's Rag. Steve was a darn good writer even at 12! No surprise there I guess. 
Also found a nice Turtleback edition of The Waste Lands.

My first edition Drawing Of The Three just arrived in the mail. I can't open it for 9 hours.
Potato camera quality. Revival and Finders Keepers in Hungarian language.
New copy of The Shining at the second hand store (new as in 'secondhand but never opened') It's a repro of the original cover, etc, but in better shape than the BCE I've had for a while (that one was in fair used condition when I got it).

The mail man handed it to me, I threw it in the house, and then left for work. Couldn't open it until the end of the day.
Ok, got it. Is it the Grant edition? I love the smell and feel of the pages.
Yes, it's the Grant edition. I love the added illustrations.
But do you like the smell of those pages?
Seriously, that book in particular has the most amazing smell to it. I know, it sounds weird, but it just smells like 'class' to me. They don't make books like that now, at least not that you can buy in a Barnes and Nobles. Grant books is a wonderful publisher, but even their books they print now don't have the same feel/smell/charm like the ones they did back in the '80's.
See, now you're going to have to get the second printing of this because Phil Hale re-did his own illo's for that edition and they are wonderful!
I've never purposely smelled a book before today. It does smell different, than Bazaar Of Bad Dreams and Finders Keepers.But do you like the smell of those pages?
This copy, cost too much, I'll pass on the second edition. At least until next week.
Today i finally got my limited Dark Tower Companion.
