Yesterday I found Just After Sunset for just €0,50! It was on a shelf with discarded books at the library. So far I've only read Willa (loved it!), I'm looking forward to the rest of it. 
....hi kiddo!....still pacing around, waiting for CD to get the damn thing shipped....
Does CD have a different cover/edition of the book? I've only ordered from them a few times.
....not that I can recall...been months since I ordered it....
Found the Pop! movie figurines of Ben and Beverly from It which completes my collection of all of the kids.
Yay. Is Beverly the Chase edition?
It's #539, with her in the dress.
Found these on Sunday at a thrift store. The Wolves cd's were never even opened!
They're not a purchase but I wanted to share these two photos of rare King-ly things. I found them in the Bill Thompson interview on Lilja's Library:
I highly suggest that you go on over to Lilja's website and read the article(s) with Bill Thompson, who was King's first editor at Doubleday. I didn't know that if not for one little tiny coincidence we probably wouldn't be reading Stephen King books today. Well, I shouldn't say that as his talent would have eventually been noticed and he would get published but it probably wouldn't have been with Doubleday and would have maybe been a few years down the road.

Thanks for sharing this. I'd read in one of King's books where he relayed the story of how Getting It On was rejected but I'd never seen Bill Thompson's version of the story. Nicely corroborated, of course, in a letter. Thompson seems like he was a good guy.
Thank you-- that was a very enlightening article.
You're very welcome! I would love to get my hands on that manuscript.
I could retire early!!
