READ MORE. Yes! At the end of the day, it's all about the stories.

Mine are complete my 1/1 set. Maybe I'll also go back through and replace some of my ugly copies such as DeadZone.

Last year was a great progress for my collection but not everything was fulfilled.
for 2016:
Firestarter S/L (or Cujo - S/L)
Insomnia S/L
Carrie 1st/1st
'Salem's Lot 1st/1st
Thinner 1st/1st
The Bachman Books 1st/1st
'Salem's Lot - Centipede Press Art Portfolio
and maybe:
Six Stories S/L
The New Lieutenant's Rap (unsigned) <- that would be nice to have
wish me luck!
Good luck!
To put the collecting on hold for the year and spoil my daughter even more than usual.
Of course the first part won't happen and the second part will happen any way!
First and foremost - finish unpacking my collection and displaying it prominently in my new home library. Also, cataloging the items in the Home Library app so I have a record of my collection.
Then, my goal is to catch up on reading. I still haven't started Finders Keepers and I feel like I'm so behind!!
Of course there are items I'd love to add to my collection:
The Bachman Books (NAL hardcover)
The Bachman Books (paperback)
Rage (Signet paperback, Bachman)
'Salem's Lot (Doubleday 1975 - third cover state)
'Salem's Lot (Doubleday 1975 - first cover state)
The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger (Grant 1982)
The Plant (Philtrum Press)
Roadwork (Signet paperback, Bachman)
Six Stories
Volume 5 of Castle Rock Newsletters (having an incomplete set is driving me mad)
First Words
The Fugitive Recaptured
How to Write Tales of Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction
The Stephen King Companion
Night Shift 1/1 to complete my Firsts
Centipede Press Salem's Lot GE w/ Collector's traycase (REALLY kicking myself in the ass for selling this for $150 a fewyears back)
Flatsigned (or inscribed to Nick) The Stand 1/1
Remarqued DotT to complete my "artist's set" of DT books
Possibly acquire (once again) The Stand S/L (another book I hated selling)
If I am able to get these all done this year, I would be one happy camper.
My goals for 2016 regarding collecting King's works:
* One for the road illustrated
* The long walk UK 1st
* The running man UK 1st
* The Plant #1 unsigned
* The Plant #3 unsigned
* At least 1 of the 12 1st fiction appearances' magazines I'm missing.
* At least 5 of the 13 1st fiction appearances' books I'm missing.
* At least 2 of the 19 promo items I'm after.
* At least 3 more 1st edition books signed by King.
* At least 2 S/L books I'm missing.
* At least 30 of the 145 magazines I'm missing that include an original non-fiction piece.
* At least 10 of the 33 books I'm missing that include an original non-fiction piece.
* At least 2 of the 165 newspapers I'm missing that include an original non-fiction piece.
* At least 1 of the two Spanish editions I'm missing.
Since I completed my last Grails list, I'm creating a new one. I'm pretty positive it'll take a lot of time to get these but I'm not aiming to get these in the near future. It'll probably take me several years and that's why I'm considering these grails:
* The Regulators - Lettered edition
* Stories of Suspense
* One copy of The Maine campus with a S. King piece on it.
Last year I was unfocused in my collecting, too scattershot (sometimes you can't turn down a good deal). That's not to say I didn't acquire beautiful items. Everything I acquired last year was great but the standouts are: US s/l Prime Evil, Green Mile Sub Press Gift set and From A Buick 8 gift edition. Thanks to everyone who helped me acquire these and the other items.
This year I will try to focus on signed items though that is still broad. It gives me wiggle room.
I have an extra copy of The Writer - March 2000 with King's "Everything you need to know about writing successfully - in ten minutes".
