Apologies if this has been done before, but...
Does anyone else think it would be cool if Stephen King published an edited collection of his forewords and afterwords from his work?
I have always enjoyed these immensely - his explanations and anecdotes really develop a rapport with us constant readers, and as someone who has read most of his books I love the idea of having all of his thoughts about his work in one place. It would be a behind the scenes view, and a memoir of sorts too - a lot of them are true products of their time.
For me, the best parts of On Writing are written in this style, so you could argue that he has already done this in a way. But I still think it would be fascinating, especially if he decided to annotate or add to the originals, and add context to the context!
