(Part 2) Best products from r/stephenking

The version you're looking for is available on Amazon under the same listing in paperback and hardcover, though I imagine the price is significantly more than the one you received. You can also try AbeBooks or Alibris.

It's generally not a good idea to shop for collectible/OOP books on Amazon. Amazon targets the casual reader, not collectors and uses bots to keep the listing pages neat and free from multiples. Hence, there's usually only 1 or 2 listings for any given book, even if there's dozens of editions. (Even if, as in this case, the newest edition is missing 25% of the original. Odds are that there were originally different listings for the new version, but then the bots got to it & merged them.) If you're looking for a particular cover or printing, you have to dig through & check the description on each offering under that listing and hope there's some clue there as to which edition that particular seller is offering. You can also click on the "Collectible" option (as I did in the links above), but you'll find that those are generally priced well above average market price.

Heads up, the UK Publisher Hodder & Stoughton has all 8 Dark Tower novels and the Complete Concordance as a matching set, and on amazon it would actually cost me less to have the H&S set shipped all the way from the UK than it would to preorder this set. That's the 7 main books, Wind Through the Keyhole, AND the concordance, whereas I'm pretty sure this set available for preorder is only the 7 main series novels. I saw the H&S books in person in China and they're beautiful, so if this set doesn't look super beautiful or have SOMETHING better than the H&S set, I'm getting the H&S set instead. The H&S books are all available on amazon.co.uk as well as eBay.

Here are links for books 1-7, WttK, and a copy of the concordance.

The Gunslinger

Drawing of The Three

Waste Lands

Wizard & Glass

Wolves of the Calla

Song of Susannah

The Dark Tower

Wind Through The Keyhole

Dark Tower: Complete Concordance

This book seems super relevant, looks like a pretty serious analysis of a lot of his work.

There were a few books of collected interviews with King published in the '80s - Bare Bones is possibly the best of these, though the same editors' Kingdom of Fear and Feast of Fear are as good. Most of the pre-2000 interviews were with print magazines and don't exist online, so these collected books are maybe your only bet for older interviews.

There's also a King endorsed book explaining all the connections called The Complete Stephen King Universe: A Guide to the Worlds of Stephen King. It's pretty good.

From Wikipedia (pretty much accurate):

> When the novel was originally published in 1978, Doubleday believed the readers would be averse to such a long book, and that The Stand would be a bigger seller if it was much shorter. Stephen King cut approximately 400 pages (around 150,000 words) from the original manuscript.

> In 1990, a new unabridged edition of The Stand was published, billed as "The Complete & Uncut Edition". Published in hardcover by Doubleday in May 1990, this became the longest book published by King at 1152 pages. This edition reinstates most of the deleted pages (as selected by King), as well as updates the setting from the 1980s to the 1990s. This new edition features a new preface by Stephen King, and illustrations by Bernie Wrightson.

> Additionally, Doubleday published a deluxe edition of The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition, limited to 1,250 numbered copies and 52 lettered copies. This edition, known as the "Coffin Box" edition due to the book being housed in a wooden case, was signed by Stephen King and Bernie Wrightson.

The 1978 version was about 700 pages or so (for some reason, 600+ sticks in my head). That's the original I'm referring to. I'm not aware of a version with 1,400 pages. Where did you get it?

Here's a link to the 1978 edition on amazon.

This listing on amazon UK is for a copy weighing in at 1344 pages. Doorstop time. ;-)

Has plenty of gift ideas.

This book is good for fans as well:

Personally I have found that the Staedtler Mars plastic eraser is best. You want to do it evenly across the length of the book as to not create a "clean" area. Additionally it does not require scrubbing with it, just use it like you would with a pencil mark on paper... there are also youtube videos on this:

Do you mean The Princess Bride? It's readily available on Amazon in multiple formats. I see it at Barnes & Noble pretty much every time I go there.

That's a great haul. I would actually rather get the BCE for those early novels so that they are taller and match my other books. Carrie, Shining and SL are actually the only books I dont have with the original cover since I have them collected in this hardcover collection: https://www.amazon.com/Stephen-King-Complete-Novels-Shining/dp/0517219026

I got the doormat on Etsy, and the mug I got at a fair but I’m sure you can find it on Amazon!

Here’s the doormat:

If you wanted to stay in the Dark Tower World a while longer, and who doesn't, I can't suggest strongly enough The Talisman & its sequel Black House. The Talisman is a great read and will give you that Tower vibe and I straight up consider Black House book 5.5 or 6.5 of the Dark Tower.

Bachman books. It's a collections of the Bachman books. Found it for like 12$ at a used book store

The Bachman Books: Four Early Novels (Plume) by Richard Bachman et al. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0452257743/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_xLyXtb17GRPXH

Lone dude walking down a long road, and LOTS of brown. Not a bad cover, but I prefer yours.

Got a paperback of the Bachman books with rage in it on Amazon. But its pretty much a hit an miss, you may or may not get a copy with it.
