I was going to say 'nice', but it seems redundant now.

I didn't even know King wrote in Russian!

Interesting cover art for Faithful (not sure I get it at all, but interesting nonetheless) :smile:

I agree--the Faithful cover is very interesting. I'm not sure I like it or not.

The rest are really attractive.

I have not read that book yet, because I don't understand baseball :biggrin: It's book just for collection. I hope sometime I'll read Faithful

I've read FAITHFUL, I understand baseball, and I still didn't understand half of the book, so good luck!

No problem, I've not read it either (Aussies aren't that big on baseball - nowhere near enough blood for our tastes) - the comment was more from point of view of some (a lot) of the foreign editions having rather esoteric covers which really give no clue as to what the book may actually be about - like the Faithful above, for example, it could be about a naked man with an indigestion issue of some sort :cool:

I love all the foreign (to me) covers. I have a couple of the russian ones. They just look great all lined up together. :)

But I do not really (I mean the Russian editions). Pity that the modern Russian SK books does not have dust jackets, as in the american ones :smile:

What editions do you have?

I'm not certain. I'll have to check and get back to you on that. I collect foreign King. I have somewhere between 100 and 150; only a couple are russian though

I like the way they all look together on the shelf, and the artwork is nice. I personally like the non DJ books one less thing to worry about getting messed up. :)

Very nice looking books! But there's something wrong with your camera. I can't read any of the titles.

Welcome back. I know it may seem strange, but I have quite a lot of foreign and Russian books still for sale if you're interested. PM me if so, thanks!

Hi, Shannon! I'm interested in the American edition, it's sounds strange but I have no money for books right now :) Besides, I'm waiting for a couple of orders from E-buy, but thanks anyway

The photos were fine Meldar, ur2ndbiggestfan was being funny, I can't read any of the titles either, but that might be because I can't read russian. :D

I like the way you've displayed the foreign editions beside the US editions - it provides a nice perspective :D

I have that same problem, coupled with very little patience. Sometimes I go read a chapter while the pictures are loading.
