    Default Book Collection: peripheral

    I've been reading Stephen King since the release of Misery when I was a mere teenager, but I only started collecting SK purposefully around 1.5 - 2 years ago. I’ve always had the "collector's gene", the "collector's bug" (whatever the hell this sickness is). I wish I had found this site and Betts Books before I started collecting – would have saved me making a few dud purchases.

    One of my collecting goals for this year was to start a collection thread here and - now that I’ve finally got these new bookshelves - here it is.

    It’s a very modest collection compared to the gargantuan collections on here. In terms of direction, my focus is pretty standard: 1st editions (both UK and US) and the S/L’s (of King's own work or anthologies). Primarily due to space restrictions and the fact that I can't get absolutely everything, I’m not collecting gift / artist editions unless it’s a particular favourite book of mine or there’s no S/L alternative (as in the PS Publishing series). And Lettered editions are beyond my budget.

    Finally, you may not be able to see them, but I also have three Asbestos Firestarters and one first state Salem’s Lot - but they're disguised as “Shipping and Postage Costs” from the US to Australia!
