No. I already knew. I wonder if I would have discovered them without knowing. Probably not. I also wonder how the sales were prior to the reveal.
he said in an old intervew with the british dude i saw on youtube that the sales where getting bigger and bigger, and he was wondering how large they would get under the backman name but he was found out before he could tell. he will never know if people are buying his books based on his talents or his name.
....I was still building my collection at that point and hadn't read anything by "Richard"......found out through the owner of the bookstore I frequented.....
No, not read any, but I do remember holding the original paperback of The Running Man in my hands and reading the front and back cover description to see what it was about. It has a striking cover and that's what drew me to it. I put the book back on the shelf and moved on. If only I knew then...….
No kidding. You can still get used copy’s of the first printing
This is where he is talking about Blackman vs king
MIght want to have Moderator edit that for you.
My sister and I called him out after a few chapters of 'Thinner'. Something to do with getting lunchmeat or a hot dog at a convenience store. C'mon now, this is Stephen King. Who can write about lunchmeat like this?

NeverI have too many of them on my shelf now.
I think the year Thinner came out in paperback, I found the collected Bachman books in one of the two bookstores I frequented. Still love that collection.
