Book Collection: NoLabelBG

[NoLabelBG]

This is a big part of my Stephen King collection. Except the books i'm posting here, I also have all of the DT series, and maybe 15 more books, which I borrowed to a good friend of mine, and now they are at his house, and i can't scan them!

This is a selection of Bulgarian SK issues. Most of them have new versions with new design, but i like the old ones, because i think that the cover art is much better. Also, i just love old books.

The best Stephen King covers are made by Peter Stanimirov (Peter Stan). He is an interesting man, because he is not only the artist that made the covers, but also he is the founder and co-owner of the "Pleyad" - the publishing house that published most of the the Stephen King books in Bulgaria.

First, there are the short stories:

Just After Sunset

This is the new issue of Night Shift, published 2009 by "Bard"
http://queenbg.com/store/SK_covers/001_1%20-%20Night%20Shift.jpg

For some strange reason, Pleyad never published the whole Night Shift! Instead of that, they published some short stories books with random short stories in them, some of them from Night Shift, some of them from other books:

This is what i have at my home! As soon as I can, I'll try to scan the rest of my collection, because there are some very interesting things to show! There are few more short stories books, and novels with some great artwork.
I realize that some of that covers SUCK! I think, that some of them are made by some 5 year old jerk on MS Paint. The publisher Pleyad, which was a very good publisher many years ago, now makes very ugly books with low quality, since Peter Stanimirov is not part of the company!
Also, some of the books are in a bad condition, because they are very old, and I'm not their first owner.

p.s. Sorry for my bad English!

So, now my Dark Tower collection is home, I've scanned the covers, and here they are:


The Dark Tower I

Thank you for sharing with us.

[jhanic]

I love those covers--almost all of them! I especially like the one for Duma Key--it's very evocative of the whole story!

John

[frik]

I love this stuff!! :thumbsup:
Please show us the rest of what you've got!!

sk

[lophophoras]

It is really cool to see the different cover art.

Thanks for sharing!

:thumbsup:

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I agree, the covers are all very fascinating, as is the written script itself. Thanks for sharing these wonderful books!

[Randall Flagg]

Quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[ChristineB]

Interesting to see the differring cover art and the way they released the short story collections there. Thanks!

[herbertwest]

I love the first Christine (with the teeth)!

Some really nice covers. Some foreign are worth it.

[NoLabelBG]

Yeah, Christine is quite nice!

It's still a mystery to me on what logic they published the short stories. When i post the rest of the books, you'll see how strange are the other collections!
But they have great artwork, so I'm ok with them!
I forgot to mention, that "Bard" released the original Night Shift here for the first time this year, and there is one missing story - Jerusalem's Lot. I don't know why. There is no logical explanation why they excluded exactly this short story. It doesn't make sense. They left One for the Road. Strange...

[NoLabelBG]

I just added the cover of Just After Sunset to the main post!

[NoLabelBG]

ps. Your English is sooooooooooo much better than my Bulgarian.

They are my favorite too! If you like them, a think that you'll like the rest of the covers, that I want to post(ASAP), `cause most of them are in the same... hmmm... style. And they are made by my favorite artist (Peter Stanimirov)!

[herbertwest]

I dont like this JAS cover. it looks... bad

[NoLabelBG]

Ha ha, that's because you've never seen the cover of Lisey's Story! It is pure agony!

[Cutter]

It's very cool to see these foreign editions, thanks for sharing!

[artan]

It was great to see these editions!!!

My favourites are:
The Dark Half
Night Shift
Duma Key

Thanks for sharing!!!

Very nice covers they have added to their translations! The DTs are highly wanted ;)
