Aaaaand, end of thread.This gives you more of an overview of the Overlook's beginnings and what happened during its history before Jack, Wendy and Danny show up. It's good stuff!
You can check ebay for the Cemetery Dance edition that was just published. It has both 'Before The Play' and the once-thought long-lost portion 'After The Play' that Stephen King didn't even have a copy of. If you just want to read 'BTP' then you could also try to track down the TV Guide edition that re-printed it right before the mini-series was aired.+1
Seriously now I wonder why I've been living under a rock. Anywhere I can get a copy? I checked amazon and all they could offer me was a Palestinian cookbook and a pillow with a picture of a cartoon elephant on it. Go home, internet. You're drunk...
...I have the CD volume of The Shining-I also still have the TV Guide that Dan mentioned....I keep it more for old time's sake than anything, and they are readily available on Ebay should you decide you want a copy....Awesome, thanks Kingricefan!
The Shining is one of my favorites, or perhaps my very fav. I'd love to read BTP and ATP...
