My dad bought and sold rare, signed, and limited edition Stephen King books on ebay as a job when I was growing up! I was even taught how to decipher the differences between his real signature and forgeries 😂

I love hauls of any type so keep them hauls coming!

Girl.... you’re the reason I’ve become obsessed with finding first editions on eBay 😂 recently I snatched the Bachman books and a first edition of firestarter

[battlereadyminis]

theres a used bookstore two minutes from my house that always has fantastic prices and editions of Kings stuff

Just got into Stephen King collecting myself! My dad was a big fan of his work and gave me his whole collection (59 books in total). Will definitely adding to it in the near future

I read The Shining and then Doctor Sleep back to back and it was such a great experience for me LOL I felt so connected to the characters and the story. Im so glad I found you I love your hauls and anything Stephen King related 🥰

I have been collecting first edition Stephen King books since I was a kid and am STILL trying to collect them all. In for the long haul! 😅

I did found a first edition Stephen King book The dead zone for like 8 dollars in a used book store. The problem is that the corners are messed up and there is a sticker on The letter D in the front. It’s fine as long it’s not completely ripped it should be fine unless I used tape.

What I would give to be able to read some of those books for the first time again. You have a lot to look forwards to lol. Honestly, even the stuff people consider bad is still pretty good. I’m jealous that you get to read the tower books for the first time and start to see connections and then want to devour all of his other novels to find them.

I just picked up the Bachman Books paperback last week for $5. Has a red cover with a sunset and a skull on the bottom. Definitely a steal either away!

[sryshlmdb]

Oh yes please keep the Stephen King contact coming! I genuinely look forward to it 😊
Edit: I picked up my first King (11/22/63) after you recommended it and loved every minute of it! ♥️

[kylajenifer]

Hey, I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but there is a reason that the price was cut out of the copy of Skeleton Crew. My guess is that the library that owned that book was a part of a book club that had books sent to them. And on early Stephen King books, overstock copies would be used at times to send to members of the book club rather than just printing even more books. To show that that book was now a book club copy, the price would be cut off of the dust jacket, as the price was of no use given it was not being sold to that person based on that price. So, even though it is technically a first edition, since the price was cut off of the dust jacket, it is actually considered a book club edition. The book collecting community can be very weird at times, and this is definitely one of those times, as I don’t think an actual first edition should be priced like a book club edition just because the price was removed, but it is what it is. Great video though, and I hope you only the best in learning more and furthering your collection.

I have so many King first editions, but when I was younger, they were just free book from Grandma and I read them a lot. The west and tear is worth it, but now I have paperbacks to read and hardcovers to display

I found a book club edition of the shining in amazing shape today at the goodwill bins for 50 cents 😱 I couldn’t believe it. Best find ever. The other day I found misery in paper back with the step back of the authors book so pretty 😍

Can you do videos on how you wrap your books in the archival book covers
