It's the deleted stuff that you'll really find amazing......A 1st/1st 'Salem's Lot Illustrated Edition (2005) somehow wound up on the shelf (a cart actually) of one of my local Friends of the Library stores ($5). A believe the first printing on this one was only 25,000. Hard to find. So glad to finally have this one. Doubleday did a really nice job on it. It's a very attractive, well-made book (much better than their 70's productions).
Yikes! Upon first view I thought something was wrong with the pic but it's the dustjacket.
Just pre-ordered the PS Publishing limited edition of 'Salem's Lot. It's going to be a three-volume slipcased edition (each section of the novel will be a seperate 'book'), each 'book' with its own dustjacket. Looks like it might be a cool one!
NOS4A2 on Kindle--my daughter saw a $1.99 offer on Mr. Hill's page. That was yesterday. She got up this morning, after having read a lot of the book at work last night, and scolded me:"Mom, why did you buy that book? I had nightmares that Charlie Manx took Nick!" *headslap*
Indeed! I went right to the deleted material since I've read 'Salem's Lot so many times already. Fascinating material!

Oh man, more limited edition temptations! I can't! I won't!
This is one I've been wanting for a long time. Condition is at best fair (and closer to poor) but I got a copy!

This is very cool! Never seen this cover before!
I love these!!
Nothing like a little King in your mailbox! Now I just have to hunt down Ca3 for a reasonable price.

The latest edition of The Stephen King Companion by George Beahm.
Also found brand new first edition hardcovers of Just After Sunset, Duma Key, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Cell, and Skeleton Crew last night at my local thrift store (the one where I found the first edition of Carrie a couple of weeks ago) - $1.50 each.
Thinking of regifting the story collections to a friend for Christmas. He's interested in getting into SK.

Last Sunday at the petrol station I bought the movies 'Thinner' and 'Pumpkinhead'. I've never seen Thinner. They also had Pet Sematary on the stand. The lady who is sought of the manager there asked if I liked Stephen King and I said yes and she said she had about twenty of his books which she had read.
"Night Shift" on audiobook. Thought I would reread some collections to get ready for "The Bazaar of Bad Dreams"
Some oddball paperbacks I picked up recently...
Nightmares, 1979 -- First anthology appearance of "Suffer the Little Children". Also contains some other great short stories like Bill Pronzini's "Peekaboo" and Ramsey Campbell's "Midnight Hobo". Perfect for Halloween!
Shock Rock, 1992 -- For "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band". Great forward by Alice Cooper.
The Skin Trade, 1990 (paperback version of Night Visions 5, Dark Harvest, 1988) -- For King's "The Reploids" which has only been published in Night Visions 5 and The Skin Trade. Excited to finally be able to read this story!

Grabs u in the 1st chapter. Gets right into it. I also checked out the audiobook and it was AWESOME. definitely read it first but instead of a second read try the audio. It's a brick so u definitely pick up things second time around. Then I'm going watch it on Hulu when it comes out. So i will hit all 3 genres if u will. Then save some Mula and get the signed limited edition with dvd. My 3rd favorite of his out of the 32 I have read. Just stand and it ahead of it.
Got Dark Tower III Wastelands by grant. 65 bucks. Shrink wrapped. Opened it up. Not to read but I heard it's not good for the book to stay in wrap. Plus had to check out the Illustrations.
Awesome find at a great price! You are correct- it is NOT good for books to be left in shrinkwrap- they need to breath.
Picked up an unread paperback of Under The Dome Part 1, an unread Scribner larger paperback of Black House and an unread 1st paperback of The Year's Best Horror Stories IX that has The Monkey by you-know-who.....
