Stephen King Collecting Questions

[Brian861]

Has anyone in the USA gotten the latest COLORADO KID from PS Publishing? I sent them an inquiry but never received a reply.

Received mine a couple of weeks ago. But then I'm from Europe.
Unfortunately, a (quick) response to an inquiry is not one of PS's strong points - lacking in customer service!

They were all in the USA attending Joe Hill's wedding. Give them a break. People have lives outside books, believe it or not!

WHATTT!!! I did not get my invite. I practically paid for the wedding. You should see all the S/L i have of his. and he only has a few books written!

I hear ya, Glen!

That's a bit harsh. Are you suggesting that all business is suspended pending their personal lives? Someone could answer inquiries. Nobody is asking Pete to do it personally.

Yes I am suggesting that. They are a very small company, and they were all at the wedding.

I am a small business. I can tell you that’s total bullshit. If I’m away... the company doesn’t stop. We have people to take care of customers. BECAUSE customers put food on our table. Period.

The great Mr. Peter Crowther has assured me I will receive my THE COLORADO KID, as they are still sending them out.
I was going to ask him for a piece of wedding cake, but I didn't want to push it.

Hopefully you at least danced with him...

That is certainly one way to do it. They seem to prefer their own way of doing it. They took a week off. You'll get over it.

Hi guys, I've decided to take the plunge into collecting the early, 1st edition King paperbacks (both the US and the UK editions, focusing on anything pre-1990). I think there's a few pb collectors here? Would anyone know where I can find a document outlining the 1st edition specifiers of the UK and US 1st pbs? (The US pbs seem self-evident (full number line, Signet, etc) but the UKs seem trickier.

Anybody have an email address for a UK eBay seller called Northend75?

Please PM me if you do.

U.K.’s will generally say “Reprinted” and a date. We once started creating catalog entries for the paperbacks but don’t remember how far it got. There should be some entries still there you can look at. I also once created this for my own collection. Maybe it’s helpful. It’s by no means complete and also a little rough around the edges. The first two columns should be 1/1’s and the far right are reprints.

That is very cool, Paul

There's a special Bag of Bones edition?

That's exactly what went through my brain, and I'm thinking, oh no, I'm broke as it is! Please stop already!

Presumably a 20th anniversary edition, celebrating King's debut with the publisher. The ISBN matches the existing edition of the book, though.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1982102497/

First published in 1998, Bag of Bones was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. It was lauded at its publication as “hands down, Stephen King’s most narratively subversive fiction” (Entertainment Weekly) and his “most ambitious novel” (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution). This anniversary edition serves as a keepsake volume for years to come.

As of last week, Scribner was still working on the bonus contents -- if any -- for this edition... Or so I've heard. Given that it's one of my favorite novels, I cannot wait to see what they come up with.

I am also a small business. If I take a holiday, the business takes a holiday. You are lucky to have "people" to take care of things when you are away. Myself and PS Publishing do not.
