    11.22.63 is probably the last of the great King books. All the more so because it accepts the fact that Oswald assassinated JFK and does not entertain fake conspiracy theories to promote the...

    We must be living in a time of milk and honey when there is enough disposable income to crash servers while trying to buy a book written decades ago that is priced over $100. To be honest, the art...

    This matching number business seems like a constant headache. I'm surprised the publishers make that available given all the grief it causes.

    Almost nothing surprises me when it comes to SK collecting prices, but this does a bit. It looks like you can get a mint copy of that book on ebay for less than $100. I don't blame PS though as...

    Thanks. I just ordered it. Did the price go up between today and yesterday? I thought it was listed at 92 dollars yesterday but today it is 115. Or maybe I just mixed it up.

    I always liked Thinner. It was campy with Swedish speaking gypsies and mob guys who go rogue. Lots of nutty stuff that is lacking from most of King's more recent books. Just a fun story without...

    I received my copy of Thinner here in the US. Very nice. I was a bit surprised at how small it is but only because I had forgotten that it was not a long book. Well done Pete. My favorite Thinner...
