Funny I always like the U.S. covers better. I suppose it's a case of wanting what you don't have.

I just keep buying the UK versions as I see them. Really hoping to get It and green Mile as those are two of my favorite books. What are your favorites?
....just received my Joyland:Illustrated Edition from Cemetary Dance.....
....it arrived today....mine is letter copy PC, one of 26......it is beautiful....Steve and Stewart have each signed it twice....
Awesome!
....it was worth the money, but I have to admit-the thought of paying more for a book than my mortgage, was spooky......
Gorgeous!....it arrived today....mine is letter copy PC, one of 26......it is beautiful....Steve and Stewart have each signed it twice....
You know what? You work hard. You deserve to treat yourself to something you love every once in a while.
...thanks Deej, and I do treat myself-just never this extravagantly before.....this and the 1 of 250 copies of the slipcased My Pretty Pony are the most valuable in my collection....
....and the ironic part of Pony is, I sold some used books to my bookstore in town and she ordered me a copy of the book....I was to dumb to realize how much of a shot in the dark score that was.....
I don't think I have any valuable books money-wise. But sentimentally, priceless.
....I feel your soul there.....the other 99% of my books are that way....
Nice one, Scott!....it arrived today....mine is letter copy PC, one of 26......it is beautiful....Steve and Stewart have each signed it twice....
....thanks D!....it is just a wondrous piece.....I don't mean to keep gushing, but now I see why people spend so much on collector editions.....the other 3 books I got were wonderfully annotated and autographed as well....now I have a couple of Owen's autographs and Kelly seems like a very sweet girl.....
Yes, some of those signed collector editions are rather beautiful, but now I'm starting to think 'Do I really need to spend that much on a book when I could use the money for a nice trip somewhere?', etc. But, I'm afraid the collecting in my dna now.....
I found this DVD and trying to figure who these people are that signed it. Anyone know? KRF?

Good for you Scott! Congratulations and it's beautiful. Well worth it.....it arrived today....mine is letter copy PC, one of 26......it is beautiful....Steve and Stewart have each signed it twice....
I like to live by the motto that we don't just work to pay bills. You have to treat yourself while you're alive to enjoy it because you sure can't take it with you when you go!
I also look at it as an investment. While I have no plans to sell my collection in the near future nor for a long while after that someday I will because I have no one to leave it to and it will be a part of my retirement plan (god willing I live that long!) The book market is always changing but one thing that stays true is King books are always appreciating and almost never depreciating. I don't collect for this reason, I collect because I love the stories, King, and the beautiful editions that are lovingly crafted, but can't help to consider it.
For you it's something to leave for your kids to treasure.

Hmmmmm....none of these look like any of the main players signatures. Could be extras or something? Or kids screwing around! Either way, interesting pick up!
