Found some books at a library sale... Good thing they aren't discarded from the library's collection, people donate books and the library sells them to help raise money for various programs.

Grabbed these for a dollar each!
Wolves of the Calla
Song of Susannah
The Dark Tower [all Grant hardcover, first edition/first printings]

Duma Key[hardcover]

Eyes of the Dragon [Viking hardcover, first edition]

Where did you find UTD for $10? I keep looking on Amazon but it's never below $35 or so.
Can you believe I scored UTD in a Good Will Thrift store for $4.99? I almost died. I'd seen it at an antique mall (weird, but the vendors can sell whatever they want except drugs and guns in their booths) for $35 used. Such a good find!!

Awesome find! I imagine that 11/22/63 in hardback should be hitting the remainder tables at B & N soon to make way for Revival in the warehouses. Seems it takes about two years for the King books to make it to those tables.

I got my dust jacket for the signed limited The Shining from Subterranean Press today. I'll be putting it on the book when my arthritis eases up a bit. I don't want to mess it up.

For those of you that have no idea what John and I are talking about- Sub Press had some 'rubbing' issues with the first batch of the signed limited of The Shining that they sent out. This edition was originally produced without a dustjacket, unlike the artists edition. There was some rubbing that occured between the book (it's a heavy sucker!) and the traycase. Sub Press rectified the situation by producing a totally new jacket and sent it out to everyone who purchased the signed limited edition. You could also have the traycase replaced. Those who had bad rubbing issues were offered full refunds if they didn't want to go the replacement route. Mine had no issues, as Sub Press, after finding out about the rubbing issues, sealed the remaining books in plastic before shipping. They stepped up to the plate and took care of their customers! Here's what the new dj looks like:

Goodwill finds;

11/22/63 (hardcover)- I found a perfect copy in the "history/non-fiction" section. I was very excited because this was one of the books on my Amazon list! I'll gladly pay $2.00 instead of $20.00!

Classic Tales of Horror and the Supernatural compiled by Barry Malzberg and Martin H. Greenberg- This short story collection has an introduction by SK and the last story in the book is The Crate, which I've never read.
