    Welcome to the site.
    Perhaps since you mentioned 9 books, this thread should be "Your Top 10 King Book Covers".
    It is a great idea and gives me a thought for a contest...

    Thank you for the welcome.

    I hope everyone else likes the thread as well.

    And I would be happy to change the title of the thread as you suggest but I am not sure how to do that at the moment or if its even possible... lol

    And to round out my original list to an even 10...

    Salem's Lot, the first(I think) US paperback edition.
    Black cover with the face embossed into it. The only color is a single red blood drop. No text, not even the title of the book.
    Later editions added the title and crammed in some other text, which ruined the minimalism that I love about the first version.

    Eyes of the Dragon US 1st/1st
    I always like the green scales embossed into the jacket.
