Thank you! I really appreciate you making the effort and taking the time to get me that information. Sincerely. Also, would you know if you receive first editions (of his new releases, not the older books of course).
I think they're book club editions, so not true first edition. But I think you should check with GNTLGNT or someone else who receives them, as I'm just not sure sorry.

Scott, do the ones that appear to be first editions have a price on the dust jacket? Most BCE don't, although they are otherwise identical to the true firsts. If they do have a price, you are getting a great deal!

I would be surprised if there wasn't something like that out there somewhere, but I think you would be better served just ordering them yourself (in the order you want) online. It will be more cost effective. I suggest Half Price Books (they have an online presence) and you can get every book he has ever written (paperback or hardback) at a good price used. Naturally, you can get them new too at great bargains on Amazon and through other sources. Book Clubs used to provide an economic incentive to using them, but these days a bit of price shopping yourself gets you better deals and all the same benefits of having it shipped right to you.

For the past couple of years I've been buying the majority of my 'new' books from the Book Depository website as there are always great discounts as well as free shipping worldwide.
They have a very good selection of Mr. King's books in paperback and hardback.

I'm Penney I just back into my account here. I have been Google searching trying to find out what's up the members only book club and keep getting 5hst pagp that wants you to either call email or make a payment and no other options but frustration.

So am I assume that there is no way to get to the actual book club where we can get books for 14.99? I was a member and had to discontinue a few years ago . I am sure I paid my balance. I sent them an email telling them that a little while ago. Hopefully I hear something back.

Pretty sure the SK Book-of-the-Month Club is kaput. Hopefully someone is dealing with loose ends.
...the Stephen King Library still published Steve's new releases....and they have a website, which IS just a one pager, but still will let you get signed up again....all books aren't 14.99, but are significantly discounted if you don't mind receiving the latest releases a few days after they appear in stores.....

I was also wondering why I wasn't receiving the newer books that were coming out . I called the Stephen King Library and was told that they're only getting a few books here and there and when they get a new one it gets sent out, but the newest one "Elevation" has to be purchased through another bookclub or Amazon
