Book Collection: Roog

[Roog]

Well actually, the paperback from 2012 is a C-format (large trade paperback), now they released both an A-format (small/pocket) and a B-format (in between them).
I have no idea why they relased them both at the same time, there is no mention of export edition on one of them.

I ordered it at a local store If the price is the most important thing, then I would suggest BookDepository, but they ship very slow. I guess nearly every store can order them.

Yeah I checked BookDepostiory but for all of them I currently get the message that they are unavailable so that's why I'm turning to Amazon right now.

Has to do something with "ordering UK books from the US" as mentioned before. I think BookDepository's shipping costs are too high for those books.

Yeah that's what I suspected as well. Guess I'll go with Amazon and see how it goes.

[Roog]

Or try your local bookshop if they can order it.

It's weird. I've never had any problem ordering a book from The Book Depository if it was available in both countries. The 'B' format just seems to have dissapeared. I have contacted my British book dealer about finding me one. I hope he comes through. I did not know (or forgot about more likely), the 'C' format. I am so confused!

[Roog]

Took me some time as well before finding out how this worked But it's kinda easy:
A - small
B - middle
C - large

Today I could add the DT2 trade paperback from UK Hodder&Stoughton to the collection. Only DT3 is still missing in the serie:



Also I could add this nice item, on the left the Scribner paperback as we all know it, on the right is the Turtleback Books library hardcover! Very cool and large book



Oh and btw, it's the 300th Dark Tower book in my collection

You're still going strong I see. Very nice!!!

[Roog]

Thanks, Michaël! I just can't stop collecting

[biomieg]

Dat klinkt maar al te bekend... maar ik doe even heel rustig aan, ik ga over drie en een halve maand trouwen en da's niet goedkoop

[Roog]

Kan ik me goed voorstellen! En is ook een goede besteding uiteraard Gelukkig verzamel ik geen S/L's, ik hou het bij de normale boeken

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I like that DRAWING OF THE THREE. I've never seen that one before.

[Bad Penny]

Happy 300th DT Acquisition Day to you Roog

[Shannon]

Excellent!

[Roog]

Thanks all

I like that DRAWING OF THE THREE. I've never seen that one before.

Well there is a whole set of these books. Part 5-6-7 are well-known, part 1-2-3-4 were released later on to complete the set.

[Roog]

This is a Guild Publishing (book club) of DT1, based on the UK Sphere paperback:



And this is my second King S/L The NAL audiocassettes of the Gunslinger. Thanks Shannon!! 8)

[Merlin1958]

Very Nice!!!!

[Roog]

Thanks!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I am impressed by that Guild paperback. I wonder how hard that is to find in good condition.

[Roog]

The condition is very nice indeed! I didn't even know there was a DT1 of it. I only had the DT2 so far. Will there be a DT3 as well?
The strange thing is: both DT1 and DT2 have the number CN5467!
