Stephen King Collecting Questions

[turtlex]

Question here ... are/were any of the DT books available in Braille ?!

( actually, I searched and found Needful Things in Braille, but that was the only SK book I could find )

[Brice]

I've seen other SK books in braille I'm sure, but I don't recall seeing any Dark Tower books.

Wow, thanks, Jerome. I've been doing author searches through a few of the online Braille bookstores, and nothing popped up at all.

I never considered buying a braile edition...Any bookstores you know?

I'm pretty sure they are more or less custom made, or "print on demand" if you will.

The cost and size are prohibitive to the point that I'm not sure how big the market is. One would think that audiobooks would be more popular with the blind.

Ari / Eric -

I can't seem to find them for sale any place.

When I use the link that Jerome found, which shows they exist, ordering says INVALID ITEM, so they obviously aren't available there.

I'm going to keep looking, though.

In Germany we have some Braile Stephen King books like Skeleton Crew, Pet Sematary.
But they are more or less impossible to become

[Ari_Racing]

Once again I'm bothering...but I tried to order from Gaylord and it rejected my CC.

So which one would be the most suitable for HC books:

[SkippyD023]

The link below are the ones that I have been using and they work great. #10 426 005 which are 10" work great for the majority of books. I have bought several of the other sizes as well to cover some of the larger books.

Is there a webpage somewhere, with a listing of all the 1st uk editions on the same page?

I do not know of any webpage for UK 1st, but if you PM me your email address, I'll forward you my UK 1st identifier in my Excel Spreadsheet.

This is thanks to Mr. Rabbit Trick:

Yeah, but i am looking for the covers...

Well, i guess that they are on my website. Just need to gather them one by one... ^^

True, they are printed on-demand. In Holland they are available, for free, for the ones who need them. Donations need to cover the cost.

When someone requests a braille-book, it is printed. They don't need to return the book.

The books are really big.... for example, Riding the Bullet is 2 books big, but Cell is 24 books.

Audiobooks for the blind are made in the DAISY-format, special players are available.

Did anyone purchase a copy of One for the Road from PS Publishing? Is it a nice looking book? It is not in the Collectible Catalog so I've never seen any pics other than what was on the PS website. Wondering if it is worth the $110 or so. Thanks.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I have two states of ONE FOR THE ROAD coming, but I won't have them for a month or so, then I'll post a pic in my collections thread.

[Bev Vincent]

I saw a copy at World Horror earlier this year. It was a nice looking book, but I found it hard to justify the price.

[lophophoras]

I believe there are pics of the book in the New Pride and Joy thread.

[jhanic]

I got one of the unsigned ones (I thought the price for the artist-signed copy WAY out-of-line) and like the book and its production, even though it is a bit pricey.

I think thats the consensus... I think the artwork is pretty cool. But a bit high $$

[Cutter]

Yep, I got one because I'm a lifetime subscriber to PS, but I don't know if I would have paid for one. It's just a picture book. Cool, but worth about $40 max, imo.

[WeDealInLead]

I'm really not liking the cover art. It looks like someone with a Tablet and basic knowledge of Photoshop threw it together in 15 minutes.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

These comments are making me nervous since I shelled out the money for the signed edition as well. I should have bought the signed BRONCO BILLY instead!
