63 in '23!!!!!!!!!!
My Collection: https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...ion-Merlin1958
The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I'm tying something to each dog's tail...
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.
DT1 Gunslinger S/L
DT IV remarqued S/L
DT WTTKH remarqued S/L
left out Knowing Darkness, too dang heavy!
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.
I would go with:
1. S/L Regulators
2. Signed Duma Key with Stutzman remarque
3. S/L Skeleton Crew
If it has to be SK, I guess I'll go with my It and Salem's Lot gift editions and my Bernie Wrightson sketch.
Hmmm, this IS tough!
Probably:
Gunslinger 1st
Doubleday Carrie Proof
Night Shift 1st
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:

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):
Originally I thought S/L Stand, Lettered Skeleton Crew, and Custom bound 'Salem's Lot.
- King inscribed to me "Mr. Mercedes"
- 1of 2 custom bound S/L 'Salem's Lot
- King signed NF+ Rage
guess i will change my list to 3x flat signed Revival ;D
As nobody will save this one when all houses run down, that will be the only 3 left ;D
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.
Nice picks Bruce! I think I would go with my Erin Wells scribbled in IT gift edition, signed 11/22/63 (with case from Tomas), and signed Revival.
Aw, who am I kidding?
I'd probably go out in a blaze of glory like our buddy Morris Bellamy.
Haha this is fun. Mine isn't as fancy as others.
1. S/L IT
2. S/L Desperation with Maitz Remarque
3. Alan Clarke IT Drawing
I'd probably take
'Salem's Lot Red Roman Deluxe
NLR Set
'Salem's Lot First/Second state signed on publication day or 'Salem's Prototype Signed
