    Of course they may have other ideas about what to save. Some of them just don't know what is important.

    Playing by Jerome's rules of only three items I would not take the asbestos Firestarter. There are at least 24 others out there so that could be replaced. I think I would take the copy of 'Salem's Lot with the first state dust jacket, one of the Whelan paintings from The Gunslinger (probably The Temple of the Oracle but maybe the Firestarter) and the handwritten manuscript for The New Lieutenant's Rap (partly because it is in very close proximity to the first two).

    If I could make one trip and was limited by only how much I could carry on that one trip I would take the 'Salem's Lot and as many Whelan paintings as I could carry.
    Bob... I have to ask... How many Whelan's do you have? I thinks that is a great list too! I was the same. Haha

    With the caveat that these are King items only, as per the original question (since, to be honest, if I could only grab three books only one would be by King), my three would be:

    1). My personally-inscribed 1st HC of THE DARK HALF.
    2). My Fine/Fine 1st HC of THE STAND in Collector traycase.
    3). My signed/limited of 11/22/63 in aftermarket traycase.

    If I had a 1st HC of NIGHT SHIFT, it would be taken in place of either 2 or 3.

    A real answer:
    1. My first response from King about The Gunslinger
    2. Eyes of the Dragon S/L
    3. The Gunslinger 1st

    A joke answer:
    1. A bullet
    2. A gun
    3. The will to go down with the flames

    Actually, I think I'll start designing a fireproof home like a gigantic safe.

    So after thinking about it I would have go with: trade paperback of Cycle of the Werewolf, trade paperback of Wizard and Glass, and Pet Sematary.
    The reasons I went with these are: CotW was the first SK book I bought, WG was the first DT book I bought and PS is overdue from my High School and I really should return it one of these days. The final reason is I have relocated everything else to the trunk of my car so let the house burn.
    In the off chance I move the collection back into the house I’d go with:

    Spoiler:

    1. Lettered The Stand
    2. Lettered The Regulators
    3. 1 of 2 ‘Salem’s Lot
    Perhaps I am simply a madman who dreamt of being sane for a little while.

    Joyland SL 1/724 (or 712, whatever it was), in the custom Dolso Case
    Finders Keepers Signed Dedicated from King
    my paperback copy of Christine, was my first King novel and I have too much sentimental value invested in it.

    I've thought about this quite a bit, and I'm guessing that with a true "5 minute warning", I'd be a mess.
    For now I'll go with (it'll change tomorrow):
    • King inscribed to me "Mr. Mercedes"
    • 1of 2 custom bound S/L 'Salem's Lot
    • King signed NF+ Rage
    Originally I thought S/L Stand, Lettered Skeleton Crew, and Custom bound 'Salem's Lot.

    I would take 4.5 minutes to move my Robert Addison paintings to safety (!) and the final 30 seconds to grab Centipede 'Salem's Lot deluxe & limited and Second Coming prototype.
