    Default Book Collection: Darkthoughts

    My collection is nowhere near as expansive and impressive as I'd like it to be...that crazy little thing called cash always gets in my way

    Most of my books are well read paperbacks, but with stories that I love I aim to get good hardback editions too. It's very much a collection in progress!


    The Joe Hill and the Neil Gaiman (Stardust) are my only signed books I own to date. Also pictured here are the UK hardcovers of Anansi Boys and Lisey's Story:

    You're quick Story!! Just uploading some more...hang tight

    Non King books here, but editions I'm fond of - they're from The Folio Society, which my uncle is a member of. He sends me these books at christmas from time to time.

    Top L-R: 1066 And All That, Cold Comfort Farm, Leave It To P Smith and bottom is Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass.

    My DT collection (I only have paperbacks of DoTT and WaG, which my sister currently has).
    Jerome very kindly sent me the Grant Hardback of WotC, which has given me the aim of collecting the entire series in Grant hardbacks.

    Lastly - for now (I'll take some more pics tomorrow) - are my DT comics - had to rely on Ebay for those, none of the comic stores near me had them, and King short story magazines (also courtesy of Jerome )

    More King paperbacks -note the TDT.com bookmark in IT



    My Colorado Kid - my local bookstore got in only one of each - I couldn't afford to get them all at the time, so this was my favourite cover:



    Some random paperbacks here; Shardick for the DT connection, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Farmer Giles of Ham/The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and The Hobbit:

    We have a copy of Shardik too, but haven't read it either. Will bought it at an old bookstore for about $1. It's a nice hardback.
    It's peanut butter jelly time!

    A hardback would be lush!! I get most of my paperbacks from second hand stores and rummage sales - it's crazy what people throw out!

    Needless - I read it about halfway through a couple of years back, but never finished it. I am going to pick it back up after I finish my current book. I didn't stop because it was bad, but it was to hard to get into...for me anyway.

    Thanks! Lol, Matt just called me Needles in another thread! I can be needlessly needful at times, though.

    If all else fails, you can call me Bill.
