I got a very nice hard copy of Eyes of the Dragon for seventy-five cents at Goodwill. I didn't have one so was quite pleased. also bought a hard copy version of The Shining for 10 dollars from a book seller in town as I didn't have that one either.

I have no idea if any of my books are worth anything at all. They are valuable to me and my collection, and that's what matters to me.
Agree. Thats what counts for me to. Most of my collection is pockets in very good shape. Have perhaps 10 hardcovers. Were more once but since i started exchanging swedish hardcovers for english påockets some years back that have changed. But most admit I've read my copy of IT so many times i had to buy a new one of that one. But otherwise they are fine.

The Darkside of the Moon (England really)
Have now ordered so my whole collection, almost, of king is in english. Have ordered at a site for used books in very good condition. Good prices. I call it a bargain. Bought The Girl who loved Tom Gordon, Thinner, The Talisman, The Dead Zone and Four past midnight. All 5 for about half the price i paid for Revival. Now i will remove the swedish copies to make room for the newcomers. I am still missing Danse Macabre though. They didn't have that on the site. And, of course, Blockade Billy. Which i havent seen in Sweden at all. Cant even order it on a usually reliable net bookstore. Sigh. Perhaps i just have to wait until i'm in the states again.
Don't know what you would consider a good price, but this website ships internationally for £2.99 (uk sterling) (3.78 euros). I have bought from them many times through play.com.


Blockade Billy: WITH Morality - AwesomeBooks


Just over 7 euros total.
It's in English. You'll also find Danse macabre there too.

I would consider that an excellent price. My problem is that when i try to order i must fill out something called state. Required it says. In sweden there is no such thing postalwise. And then i don't come any further. Do you know how i get around that?

Sometimes things like this just require that the field be filled, you could try a number of ********* (asterisks) see if that works?

:a11: You're making my cheeks burn... (I'm seriously not all that clever)

I'm very happy you will be able to add this to your collection, Kurben. :smile:

Now that you know the secret, Kurben, you're going to have to get a bigger place to live in because you're going to be ordering new books by the case loads!! =D

Thats probably very true.... But i have been thinking that since many are poockets maybe i can put them in double rows, one behind the other. Still available but still using the same amount of bookshelf. What do you think?

I do that as well. I put my HB in the back and my PB in front. Allows me to buy more SK

Wow - why didn't I think of that? - thank you - you have helped me to make more room on my book shelves :grinning::biglove:
Or you could lay the books sideways- assuming that you have room between the top of your books and the shelf above them the way you have them placed now? I've done it with my paperbacks and I get way more space this way. ;-D

I think I found a 1st Ed. Carrie at the thrift shop today-$2. Just getting ready to check on the 'First Editions' page right now :) The dust jacket isn't in great shape, but it's there, and the book itself is in great shape. My copy now is a SK library copy (I think--got it from the library book sale), so it will be nice to have a 'regular' copy.
