We want your gold King Card back and also you have been banned from purchasing any King related item for the next 6 months. We are always watching. Always.....
We'll talk.........quietly.Hell, my heart just dropped down to my toes.Any punishment but that.
Their splitting Under the Dome into two parts is, to me, a simple money-grab. The Stand was a longer book and it was and is being issued as a single volume.

That's weird. So the full length hardback is still available, or at least online or in used bookstores, in other words they DID already make a full length version, but now have it out in 2 parts? Basically as just another edition, right? I'm just asking so i'll know when I look online to buy the full length hardback version, or paperback, or both if they have it out in full length... I've seen them in peoples collections, so it must be available?
Under the Dome was first issued as a full-length hardcover on October 15, 2009. It was later issued as a full-length trade paperback (the large-size paperback--I've seen it advertised as the movie tie-in). It is now being issued as a two-part mass-market (small paperback). It's all the same story.
The hardcover is easily found on eBay, etc. as is the trade paperback both at a fairly reasonable price. There were 925,000 copies in the first hardcover printing, so it's far from scarce.

Thank you for the answer! When you say, the large size paperback, are you referring to the actual length up and down of the book, cover etc, or the length page wise of the book? I noticed a few of my books seem to be kind of long, up and down, and some are just the usual old fashioned normal sized paperbacks... I had no clue that meant they were trade or mass market.. WOW. That just adds more stress to me wanting to get as many editions of books as possible lol. If I'm right...?
Yes, the trade paperback is approximately the same size as a hardcover, while the mass-market paperback is the smaller size. It's funny that you mention you want to get as many editions of the book as possible--I have 19 different editions of Under the Dome!
These include the US and UK advance copies, the US and UK trade hardcover editions, the US and UK signed limiteds, a special shrinkwrapped UK mass-market set with five different covers, signed trade editions, etc. I've avoided getting the US trade paperback and mass-market paperbacks.

Thats awesome John,I would love to see all those together. That would be some choice to make. I really admire your collecting talent.
I got 5 softcover comics ,a paperback of Salems Lot original cover.Got part 1 of Under The Dome all for under $20 bucks.
You're eventually going to have to get a bigger place to live if you are going to get as many editions of each book that was made. I had to! I've had to build more bookcases and not just for King books. It's a sickness, but it doesn't hurt anybody...... 
I found a real nice used copy of the Storm of the Century screenplay!
It's my second favorite book & I only own it in the US trade paperback.
Not to mention, I bought it at Walmart! (Double

It's alright, Morgan. It's not where you buy the story, it's the story itself. Steve appreciates it!It's my second favorite book & I only own it in the US trade paperback.

I buy a lot of my books at used stores.Wal-mart,the dollar store(Dollar tree-Dollar General.As long as you get them and they are readable it is all good.Thanks KRF! That is truly the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day! And a poor fan is still a fan, right?!
