    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    MY signed firsts is really my favorite things! Just meeting him and getting books signed. I wish he could see his fans love this, he is currently hung up about ebay sellers (books)! i think EBAY players are very small part in his book signings. less than 5%!

    For sure! It's more of a budget thing at the moment, and I'm super picky on book conditions.

    He honestly doesn't even care that much. A lot of times he appreciates the hustle, and sometimes he is irritated as any celebrity is. His people are the ones who don't want anything sold.

    ANGELA S. ALLAN: You’ve given a great deal of consideration to how the popular market has influenced and shaped your work as a “brand name” author: Finders Keepers is, much like Misery, interested in questions about authorial ownership and literary property: has your success shaped the way you think about your relationship to your work over the years?

    STEPHEN KING: No, it hasn’t. I’m aware, in a kind of general way, that I’ve become somebody who’s well known, which is an unusual thing for writers. It’s not the normal course of things. Writers are actually supposed to be secret agents and we go along and see stuff and kind of record it. [Things I say] come back out, and I realize that a lot of what I see is warped by the way people see me. I’m still not used to being looked at, so that changes some of the day-to-day stuff.

    For instance, coming in tonight, there are people out there who want autographs in books. There are people outside the hotel who kind of cluster together — they want autographs basically — they’ll say it’s for their grandmother or their poor blind son or whatever, but really it’s for eBay or Craigslist or somewhere like that. That’s the sort of behavior you associate around movie stars, TV stars, rock stars, that sort of thing.

    That makes a difference in terms of life, but in terms of work, once I sit down to write and I’m in the story, all that falls away. I’m not thinking about cultural implications, I’m not thinking about genre, I’m not thinking about any of those things that have to do with what critics would talk about when they analyze fiction — all those things go away. But they only go away in the first draft. And then you put stuff away. When you come back to it, you read it and you say, these are the important things, this is where lightning struck for me. Those are almost always things that are cultural and thematic, and I just try and highlight those.

    Lol not exactly. There's no need to lie to get a signature from King. He is either in the mood to sign or he isn't. Usually his mind is made up before anybody even asks him.

    I'm not taking sides here, but it cracks me up when I see "King Fans" ragging on "Resellers". I've been to several signing events and have yet to note a real difference between them. Naturally, there are personality differences, but I've seen "Fans" (members from this site) conduct themselves just as rabidly to get a signature as the hated "Resellers". In a few cases the Resellers actually acted with a bit more decorum. LOL

    Just a funny observation is all. Live and let live already, IMHO For the record, I personally don't see an issue in either case. Humans will be humans and, King is a big boy who will sign or not sign based on his given mood at the time. While it is not something I practice, I say go for it if you are so inclined.

    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
