The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
Yes I do love it, it always tempts me to get the rest of the series in UK books. Got that one about 5 years ago and been bugging me since. Maybe after the VA trip.

The shame is that, as far as I have been able to ascertain, the first 3 UK 1/1 are PB's, which I find infuriating. However, I have them all plus the 4 UK HC's in my collection. I have a 90-95% complete US/UK collection of ALL SK books. At least according to my personal rules!!!! LOL

Garrell: That pictire of all your DT7's is way cool. I only finished reading number 7 a few weeks ago, and so now have a better appreciation of the cover for the S/L...
I am finally(years later) finishing The dark Tower series. Part of me is sad in doing it, maybe the reason I have waited so long to. I am in DTVII, read about 200 pages today. got about 250 to go...I wish it never ended. So want to talk about it...but don't wanna spoil it for others. Our finance girl at work is a big SK/DT fan so we will be chatting tomorrow for sure.
If the first 3 are pb's I may skip them but I know me and I will eventually get the other 3 HB's, the covers and quality are just beautiful.

There's a separate forum for discussing ALL the Dark Tower books:

I don't contribute there, but I do read through them sometimes.

Garrell: I so know what you meant re taking your time with the series! I started DT1 about 8 years ago, and deliberately took a long time between books (once I got to part 3). Totally understand your comments about not wanting it to end. Ssince the series is some of King's best work ever, and I was running out of great King stories to read, I wanted to make the joy last longer lol...
I started in 88 when the pb came out, 23 years ago.
There are a few other SK books I haven't read, but I like to make sure there are always a couple in case he passes before me I guess.

Actually, the true UK 1st of DTIV is a paperback as well. So you have the 1st three paperbacks in one style, the last three books in hardcover in another style, and part 4 is an ugly red book that doesn't fit in with any of them.
Personally, and according to my rules (granted arbitrary), the Hodder HC I have I consider to be a 1/1 UK title. I fully realize that arguments can be made either way, but I choose to ignore them!!!! LOL LOL
I LOVE the DJ as well!!!! LOL

Do you really like the red UK DTIV cover? I think it's one of the least interesting out there.
This is part of a mental collection in my life... I just (after 23 years) finished the DT series.
If I hadn't become a SK fan 35 years ago, I would have tonight. I say thankya sai King. My mind is almost numb. Best series of anything I have read or seen in my life. I am glad that I was patient in reading the series, it was soo worth it. A tear in my eye as I lift a beer or two to celebrate it's end (hate champagne).

I went through your entire collection thread this morning.
You have some great stuff in there, as you must know. Personally I don't collect paperbacks, but I buy them as reading copies when needed, so I understand your perspective and your attachment to that format.
I really like the presentation afforded by your bookcase. If only they made those split-level cases with glass doors...
You are a talented artist, man! I am partial to Dali', so that one's my favorite. (I haven't been to the museum in Florida, but I have been to the Dali' museum in his hometown of Figueres.)
Congratulations on finishing the series at your own pace, Garrell.

Thanks Patrick,
The pb are only of the first few because those were the versions I read and could afford as a teenager and I lived overseas alot and the were the only option.
I have been to the Dali museum in St. Peteersburg and loved it, did that piece because I couldn't afford a real Dali, so I just drew my own, got a couple Frank Miller's I did the same on.
The bookcases I love but do wish they were glass enclosed. Guess I could solve that problem myself as I built homes from the ground up for 18 years, saying that the talent to do it is there, just not the get up and do it that is needed.
As far as the DT series, I am still blown away with it

FYI they recently opened up the new Dali museum in St.Pete and the exterior is pretty cool. Here is a link which shows a small picture of the outside architecture if your interested:

Not to worry, is in the works, or not Had to get that pesky DT series finished to get really focused. Got some very rough sketches and ideas, torn on the composition I want for Tick-Tock, don't be shocked if half his head is missing hehe.

Big fan of Bernie and that story, is a bonus the SK does the forward.
The Bachman 1st/1st is a duplicate cause I could have sworn my other wasn't a 1st/1st, I was wrong.
