Two signed books- won the first via the Stephen King Empire contest, and another via a book tour.
Don't tell me you lucked in and got a signed Sleeping Beauties? If so - lucky you!

It was great to hear Stephen and Owen speak and to meet Marsha for the first time. My son was quite impressed as well. Wonder if I will ever get another chance to see him in person :love:

Aside from limited editions that I have, I was one of the lucky ones who was able to go to the Missoula event for Sleeping Beauties and obtain a signed copy there. I was in a small town north of Seattle at a Goodwill when I found a mint condition unread hardback of Insomnia that was signed (it's a legit siggy). Paid $1.99 for it! I still wonder how exactly that signed book made it to a goodwill in a small Washington town. I bought a signed 4th printing hardback of The Bachman Books at Powell's in Portland, OR. A good friend of mine works at Starbuck's corporate headquarters in Seattle and she was able to get a signed copy of Lisey's Story and she gave it to me.

:m_yesss: Agree!


Full Dark, No Stars - Josh got a copy of that at the book swap (not signed) but he was happy - I think he traded his Sleeping Beauties for it, with Robert Gray.

Did not get a chance to talk as much with Marsha in Maine (compared to Toronto), as she was the star of the show (sort of, well her and the rest of the VIPs) - I wonder if we had the next King Kon in Maine again how many would be able to make it? Of course that is two years away so hard to say at this point.

West coast is starting to look good too with kingricefan and Baby Blue both being out there.
