I have almost all of King's UK versions and some of them are quite beautiful. Anything's better than the drab, boring US cover of Insomnia. ;-D
I'd love to see the UK covers if you have time to share them. I have seen a few on line and I think they are incredible. I love the artwork.
Sandy is sending me a package with The Stand, UK cover, and I can't wait.

Which one are you getting? There have been a few over the years, mine is rather dull and disappointing.

Hang onto that book called "Secret Windows" - I think it will be worth something in the future! Great score!


Secret Windows by Stephen King, Essays - AbeBooks

Do you know if it is a first edition (and is it in good shape?)

Secret Windows was a Book Club edition and generally BC's don't use any type of indicating marks on what printing/edition the book is.

If you click on the link a couple of the books being sold are described as "first edition" (perhaps to justify a 70 or 75 dollar price?)

I wouldn't mind a signed copy!
