As a newbie to the site, I'd just like to say Hi!
Been a Stephen King fan since first reading The Shining back in 1977 and have been hooked ever since. Joined a book club so I wouldn't miss any of his new books so got my copy of The Gunslinger when it was first issued in 1982.
Favourite character has got to be Roland.
Favourite DT book is The Wind through the Keyhole (favourite King book probably The Green Mile but really hard to choose).
I am 54 and live in Lincolnshire, UK.
Welcome to the site Langolier59!
Welcome to another UK collector!!
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Welcome! Please feel free to post often.

Continuing the UK invasion a big hello to all from the East Midlands
Been a reader for approx 20yrs, and a collector since last Christmas when my wife purchased my first signed SK from a certain Tito_Villa and I've never looked back
Fav DT would be WTTK simply because I haven't read the others for what seems such a long time. . . need to amend that situation
Fav book would be The Dark Half as it was my first, and they're always special
I'm 33 and a relative newbie to the collectable side of literature, so please bear with if I ask silly questions !
Welcome HoneyMonstaz!! Not only from the UK but practically on my doorstep!
Don't worry there are no stupid questions, but you may get some silly answers!
Tom is the best eh? Care to share which SK book you now own?

I was meant to say Christmas 2012, and it was flatsigned Lisey's Story
Since added to with approx 10 more SK sigs all S/L's as well as numerous Joe Hill, James Herbert, John Connlly etc
There was a period when Tom must have felt he was my personal bookshop (!) and yes he is the best, and a Derby supporter which doesn't harm his reputation any in my eyes !

Welcome.
You will adjust. When Stroppy comes around, just go to your happy place.
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
Welcome, honeymonstaz! Don't forget to start a collections thread in Calvin's Corner. We'd all love to see what you have.

Hi, My name is Karen. I have been MIA for quite some time. Popping in to read threads but not comment. A little shy of the Stephen King world right now.
But I can't wait for the two new books to come out!
