multiple editions

[Brice]

I'm not sure of how much interest this will be to anyone else. It's just meant in fun so if no one cares, that's cool, but I collect various editions, foreign books, a few ARCs, etc. and I was just wondering what SK title you have the most copies of and how many of that title.

I guess Insomnia for me:

1st US (white cover w/red)
1st US (red cover w/white)
UK Gift Edition
UK S/L
US Gift Edition
US S/L

[Stockerlone]

Very good question.

I'll have to wait till I get home to answer my own question I think. There are probably some I have 20+ different copies of, maybe more.

[jhanic]

I have 19 different copies of King's Under the Dome:

US ARC
UK ARC
US Hardcover Review copy that was issued without the dust jacket
US Hardcover with white lettering
US Hardcover with grey/black lettering
US Hardcover signed
US Signed limited
US Collector's edition
US Collector's edition signed
UK Signed limited still in shrink wrap
UK Signed limited without shrink wrap
UK Hardcover
UK Promotional booklet
UK Paperback Review Copy with publisher's letter
Set of 5 UK Paperbacks with different covers still in shrink wrap

(I actually have two copies of the US hardcover with white lettering--one I use as my reading copy.)

...and I was just wondering what SK title you have the most copies of and how many of that title.

I only have one copy of each book.

[stkmw02]

I'm very jealous of ELazansky's collection...(Insomnia is my favorite).

I personally don't have multiple editions of works. I try to collect only the first editions, though some I have in hardcover and paperback and others I have multiple copies of each edition.

[biomieg]

I have most of King's books in three to six different editions:

- One or two paperbacks;
- At least two hardcovers (US and UK 1sts) for all editions that were published both in the US and UK, plus in some cases one or two extra copies if there are DJ variants;
- One or two proofs (US and UK) for many of King's books from the 80s;
- In a few cases I also own a gift edition or S/L.

But there's not one particular title that stands out like John's UTD.

(4) Well it's a tie between The Gunslinger (Grant signed 1st, Grand 3rd, Viking 1st, and 1st Plume PB edition) and TWTTKH (Grant S/L, Grant Artist, UK S/L, US 1st Trade)

(3) Runners' Up are Talisman & Black House (each with Grant S/L, Grant Artist and 1st US Trade) and Billy Blockade (Grant 1st slipcased, 2nd and 1st US Trade)

(6) And the most copies of a book I have is A Game of Thrones (ARC, 1st Trade, 1st Trade Illustrated Cover, B&N Deluxe Slipcased, UK Deluxe Slipcased, Signed Mass Market PB)

[frik]

Salem's Lot and The Stand - ten editions each.

[Randall Flagg]

DTVII: 1 S/L, 4 AE's and 10 trade-Total a measly 14.
But I have lots of duplicates in the 3 or 4 each range:

[Roog]

Impressive! But why so many -exactly- the same editions?

[biomieg]

If I had the money (and enough bookshelves) I would get multiple identical copies of every book too. I like the way it looks.

[Brice]

Yes, it is just amazing. I'd do it too.


And while that's incredibly impressive Roog, I wouldn't be shocked if Bob could beat you on some book.

[Roog]

Haha, maybe, but I guess he needs a week to count all those books

[carlosdetweiller]

And while that's incredibly impressive Roog, I wouldn't be shocked if Bob could beat you on some book.

I don't think so. At least not on the ones he has listed.

[Roog]

Other books are also allowed, Bob

[Brice]

Hold on! Bob is calling his entire library staff in to count. LOL

Answer the question yourself... why 28 copies of DTI?

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Because they are all 28 different Binding, artwork, language
It's called the collector's disease

[Brice]

Jerome, just has a different strain of that disease.

[Randall Flagg]

I don't feel so weird now.
