    You have a lovely collection! I have to admit, many of the German editions that I have seen so far don't really appeal to my sense of aesthetics, but you have some real German gems in there. I happen to own the The Shining book shown in this picture:



    It's nice to see which other editions exist! I might try to get the others as well...

    Nice collection. I like the look of those Dark Tower metallics. Do they each have an image on the front?

    Thanks at all!
    @biomieq: Christine is the rarest of those 5 books. But the last time itīs very often offered in Ebay.


    And here are the Covers of the Metallic Dark Towers.
    The First Book, "Schwarz" (The Gunslinger) is in this Collection the rarest.

    There are only 4 german limited Editions from "Edition Phantasia".
    "Es (It)", "Der Nebel (The Mist), "Angst (Bare Bones)" and the Portfolio "Die Augen des Drachen (The Eyes of the Dragon).
    But king does not "love" them...
    The only i own (till now) is "Angst"



    Itīs limited to 300 Copys Numbered and 30 with Roman Numbers in a black velvet Slipcase.
    or do you mean any others?
    At Sunday i show you the "normal" rare King Books from Germany!
    Now i went to 20 hours of work!

    What about "Das Jahr des Werwolfs" ? Isnt it a limited edition?
    Is it "just" an hardcover?

    This is one of the rarest german (Bootleg?) books. The Publisher "Transgalaxis" bound some Trade paperbacks (called Jumbos from Heyne/Random House) in Leather with a Gold foil on the top.
    Only a few were made of them 20-50??? Nobody knows the real number.
    Here you can see more of them: http://www.stephen-king.de/kingcovr/ltdtrans.htm
    The new member Stockerlone (A Friend of me) have the most of them. They are (with the Edition Phantasia) the "Holy Grail" of the german King-Books.

    It is interesting to finally know the source of these German books. A few of us collectors have the leather bound German edition of SIE but I did not know that they did so many other volumes. I once saw a picture of a leather bound copy of ES in red leather. I have always wondered where it came from. Thanks for the photos and explanation.

    Here are some Pics of German First Edition which are now really rare:
    "Carrie" from Schneekluth (First german King release)


    "Brennen muss Salem" (Salemīs Lot) from Zsolnay:

    ARCs from "Das Mädchen" Black and White Edition ("The Girl who loved tom Gordon") from Schneekluth and the ARC of "Das Schwarze Haus" (The Black House) by Heyne:

    Very nice! I haven't seen too many foreign language ARCs of King's works.
