Yes, it's Prince but it won't work for my phone. I have a Galaxy S7 and the cover is for the S7 Edge which I didn't notice when I ordered it. Oh well, it looks nice on the bookcase anyway....Nice!....that a Prince phone cover to the right my friend?.....

These are the latest ones I got from the free to take/swap library by mine. I have a small collection of 11 of his books now, every time I go in they seem to have a different Koontz book. I've still not read any of them.
congrats on the find.Today I came home with an unread 1st printing hardback of Gone Girl. Been looking for a 1st for a few months. It'll go on the shelf next to the Cemetery Dance limited.
Watchers is my favorite Koontz. The man is a good writer too often overshadowed by the King.View attachment 18721

I cried like a baby when I got to the end of Watchers. Very good storytelling in this one. My favorite Koontz is Strangers though.
