No, it's the light effect.
It's silver.

That cover is amazing.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
One of the reasons I like the covers of the Hodder & Stoughton Dark Tower series (ignoring their first four initial issues) is that the Tower gets progressively larger as the books progress. In their re-issue of DTI, the Tower is fairly small. Above is, of course, DTVII.

I think this is the right place to ask this question...
Seeing the Dark Tower cover from H&S and many of their other SK covers I would really like to try and start adding some of the H&S books to my collection. Now the question - Where is the best/cheapest place to pick up some of these books? Besides checking e-bay all the time are there other websites here (U.S.) that sell the books, to save on shipping? To get the new books (Under The Dome, Just After Sunset, etc..) is Amazon.UK the best place to buy them from when they first come out? My guess is that shipping overseas is a big cost in picking up these books. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Ok, met her at 12:30 in Target parking lot.
Got back, what looks to be, my entire King collection; my Joe Hill Chaps; the christening gown, glasses from my proms; the bottom part of the bunk bed, my papers out of the filing cabinet, a bear that I wanted back..and some other stuff.
Still missing: my kids memory boxes and books, my daughter's porcelain dolls, at least one photo album, family history books and a few other things.
I'd like to see te insurance company put a price on that stuff!!!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Glad to hear about what was returned. Sorry to hear about what appears to be lost.
You're still in my pocket.
I get all my new UK King hardcovers from Amazon.co.uk. As far as the others, if you're interested in first editions, eBay is probably your best choice. You should know, however, the ways of identifying first editions, which is not easy. I don't know of a source that provides this information. One help, though, is:

Karen, I'm glad you got back a lot of stuff that you treasure. That means a lot, I know!
John
Well, you were sure ALL was lost, now some treasures have been returned. Count your blessings and I hope you get more.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Insurance companies don't pay out for sentimental value.
If photo albums were destroyed in a fire, they would only pay for the replacement of the albums. i.e a few bucks.
Stinks, but not much can be done.
Yeah, well, I am fighting! LOL
I just realized that my signed Harry Potter wasn't in the boxesThat was a $600 book on ebay
We shall see what happens. No word from the insurance company yet.
Thanks peeps for the thoughts and pockets!
I will be cataloging and taking pics of the collection this weekend, so y'all will be able to see what I actually own, for once! LOL
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Looking forward to that.
LOL!! I am not! There's a lot of stuff, well, A lot of stuff for me anyway. And not a lot of room to do it in, but I want to try to pack it back into as few boxes as possible, so I think that will mean emptying all of them, sorting and then pics and repacking!
Good long weekend project! LOL
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
I would think so.
I regularly get my new US editions from Amazon.com (as I live in Europe) and the cost for shipping/handling is quite reasonable. Usually less than books I obtain through eBay.
I also order from Amazon.co.uk, and obviously their cost is even less.
I'd say, go for it!

Stephen King And Peter Straub signautes
I got this book in a used book store. It is The Talisman and it is signed by Stephen King and Peter Straub.
It is a paperback copy. I am wondering how much this would be worth?
pixie, as this is a question, I merged it into the Collecting Questions thread.
Not so much. Those signatures are printed along with the picture. They are not actually signed by the authors. It is a fairly common mistake that sellers make with that particular edition.
Hi...Just thought I would throw my two cents in. If you go to the regular US Amazon site they usually have around 5 or 6 pages of UK books. If you are searching "books" you just click on "advanced search" and then put Stephen Kings name in the author field then skip down to the publisher field and put Hodder Stoughton ( I usually leave the "&" mark out ) and then go over to the binding drop down menu and click on Hardcover. It will bring up all the SK hardcover books published by H&S. I have literally ordered dozens of UK first editions from that site and only got the wrong book once....lol
Alot of times the descriptions aren't clear, but its easy to ask questions of the sellers there as well and you can also request pictures. I just always check there first when looking for something because the shipping is usually just the 3.99. Hope that helps !!
Or just search Amazon.com using the ISBN for the UK book, or go straight to Amazon.co.uk. I've bought many things from various international Amazons and the shipping is not that exorbitant.
So happy to hear you got a good chunk of it back, Karen. Sending goodmind for the rest!
This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
Thanks G!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Karen - gosh, this whole episode is so difficult, I know. Given that you thought everything was lost, you should take a few minutes to absorb the fact that you got some very personal and valuable items back. Way more than you'd thought possible when this whole thing started.
I'm truly sorry about all your lost items, but I'm thrilled about you getting some of your things back!
