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!

Awesome! I've been hunting for those paperbacks for a long time. You just never see them. Someday. Someday! :)

I was wondering if there would be any interest from fellow fans to share pictures or "Shelfies" of their King collections. I have been a collector for over 25 years and have recently started a blog to share my collection with other fans. Just asking???
Here's a sample pic of my collection...

View attachment 4576 View attachment 4577 View attachment 4578 View attachment 4579 View attachment 4580 OK, folks. Here it is, finally! Pics of my book collection. Some of you have been asking for this for some time and I finally took the time to take some pics. Mind the mess, I am NOT the best housekeeper around. First photo shows my TBR pile on top of bookcase. Second is various authors. Third shows anthologies and books about King. Fourth shows Koontz, Robertson Night Visions and Rowling at bottom. Fifth is British editions and paperbacks. Sixth is audio's, ARC's, DT and Stand comics, red leathers, Bachman's.
I thought Geek Love was fantastic. Did you like it? John Irving is a favorite, too, even though he has some odd obsessions, lol.

I remember reading 'Geek Love' about 20-30 years ago. Great book!
Reading Geek Love made me feel like I was in the 5th grade sharing those old Monster magazines with my friends at elementary school. I really liked this book a lot. It's a definite original.

Kingfisher, I think you'd really did Charles Burns' graphic novel Black Hole. I highly recommend it--if you don't mind stories told in a sequentially illustrated format, that is. You know...comic books.

Now go. Purchase. Enjoy.

First shows my 'second' King collection. Second shows original Doubleday books, signed limiteds/dvd's/blurays and at the bottom is The Stand and Eyes of The Dragon. Third shows regular trade hardbacks/paperbacks. Fourth shows Crichton and McCammon. Fifth shows DT Grant and singed/limiteds. Sixth shows Anne Rice. Seventh shows Jance and Simmons.
Please feel free to show off your own collections!!!!

I think I look at these pictures once or twice a week; it totally blows my mind. It's so impressive!!!
