Book Collection: The Library Policeman
Hi everyone. Been visiting the forums for a good while now and I post quite regularly so I thought it was maybe time to start my own collection thread. This site is wonderful, as are the people who post on it and I really enjoy seeing everyones collections. Also, the info you pick up in Calvin's Corner is priceless at times, so anyone who browses the forum and hasn't joined up, I urge you to do so. If you are obssessed by, love, or even like Stephen King's work then this is the place to be!
As for me, I have been reading Stephen King books for almost 30 years now and collecting his work (to one degree or another) for around 25 years. I will go into more detail on my collection (in its various guises) as I go along, so here goes.
MY KING TRADE EDITIONS BOOKCASE.
Here is the bookcase where I keep my Stephen King trade hardcovers. Sorry the pictures aren't the best. I got my brother to take the pictures of my other bookcase, where I keep my Ltd editions, and those pics are much better. Will post those later. In the meantime, I collect a mixture of UK and US Hardbacks. Nearly all are 1st editions, barring a few exceptions.

Shelf 1.
The US copies of 'Salem's Lot, The Shining and The Stand are 1st/1st's. The US Carrie and Nightshift are book club editions (place holders until I get the real deal).

MY KING LTD, GIFT AND SIGNED EDITIONS BOOKCASE.
Got a new bookcase for Christmas, specifically for my more valuable King books. Don't have them in any particular order or anything, just put them in there!
