I really like all of the UK books tho! I have started to collect them myself but they're hard to come by over here. Might have to make a trip over that way and hit up some thrift stores to find some King-ly treasures!

I want to come with. I have just a couple Uk versions.
Alright! Sounds like a plan! I really would love to go there and shop the thrift stores. Forget the touristy sight-seeing, give me thrift stores!!!
Me too. I love thrift stores. Esspecially if I find something King related.Alright! Sounds like a plan! I really would love to go there and shop the thrift stores. Forget the touristy sight-seeing, give me thrift stores!!!
I want to get the Tower UK hardbacks. I have the last one already.
I want so many books of kings. Just keep up with all the thrift stores. I want some US first editions yet too.
In most cases, I like the UK covers more than the US ones. There are a couple exceptions, though. The UK covers for From a Buick 8 and Everything's Eventual are hideous.

I like how they did the Tower covers- the closer you get to the end of the tale, the closer the Tower is on each subsequent book cover.
I think the Love candle in the middle of the SK collection gives it a nice touch.......
I've usually got a toy bunny with SK on a sole of one of it's feet (Sparky's Krew) sat right in the middle of my SK books. I posted a pic on the "your latest SK purchase" thread.
Here's my latest addition. I found a four-book boxed set of Agatha Christie paperbacks at a thrift store and spray painted the box with flat black paint and then found the cover for Rage online and printed that out on photo paper and then used spray glue to adhere them to the outside of the box. I think it looks pretty cool!
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could I possibly have any more 'and' in my post above?? Um uh ritar...

Probably because they supa rare.
I keep mine in archival plastic bags also. It's the best protection.

Condoms for books!!
Collectors like to keep the books in those bags to protect them, especially paperbacks as they are printed on not-so-great paper and also to keep the covers nice looking since you can't use Brodart covers for them like you can with hardbacks.
