Got a used first edition (very good condition) hardcover of Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts today. I have a BCE copy and gifted the other regular edition hardcover I had. I ordered this one online and didn't know it was a first edition. :)
'Hello, my name is Morgan and I'm a Joe-Hill-aholic.' :lol:

Pretty much! (We'll not discuss my hoarding issues with Heart-Shaped Box, right?! ;;D Oh, and let's not talk about how many copies of Horns I have either!! ;-D) Though, I am excited to be getting all of Hill's stuff now. In twenty years (God willing!) I'll feel like the SK fans who've been collecting his work since the '70's! :)

Don't make it sound like it's a bad thing, dear. ;;D I'll tell you what, I wish I had been carousing/perusing the thrift stores back when the Richard Bachman thing was announced. I can't imagine what it would have been like to go to a Goodwill and see a couple of beat-up copies of Rage on the shelves......

Oh, and Dana Jean - I finally got the original The Stepford Wives (used DVD from ebay). :smile:
One of my favorites. The husband never fit with Katherine Ross as far as I was concerned, but that was also part of the charm of the community of Stepford. Make these hot women drool over less than stunning men.

Just ordered hardcovers of Dean Koontz's Watchers and Peter Straub's If You Could See Me Now from ThriftBooks. I'm not asking for first editions, but let's hope they, at least, have their jackets. :) they were both listed as being in 'good' condition so we will see....
I got a beautiful 1st printing of If You Could See Me Now from thriftbooks- I was amazed at the great condition it was in. I hope you have the same luck.

Katherine Ross was way too beautiful to be married to that geeky guy (I forget his name).
