Hello from Canada!
A little about me hmm....well I am 3 years younger then SK.
Being of that vintage has an advantage as so many of his stories are of that era. When he mentions the cars/music/families/drugs or anything I know exactly what he is talking about. I get to relive it.
I chose TrueNorth for a couple of reasons when I registered on "The Collector"about a year ago.
I was reading Doctor Sleep and they talk about The True Knot.
The Canadian Anthem says "Our True North Strong and Free"
Six months later Starbucks has a coffee Truenorth...LOL. I visit daily.
The Stand was my first King read about 25 years ago my last read....Revival was last night. My young French Canadian wife had been a fan since her teens but only read in French. In 1988 I bought her her first english SK book.I don't recall what it was but she hasn't read a french SK book since. She also directed me here, K9Mommy.
She had been collecting for years. For years on the road I would hunt used book stores for old copies. Over the 20 years I have bought some dogs (lots of BCE), but also found some pearls. We are members of CD and have a really nice collection.
My first love was the first editions, the first five Double Day books. I see lately that is changing and I am starting to prefer the Limited Editions. The Stand leads the list here.

Thanks John nice to see a friendly face, I recognize a few others like Rabbit Trick and OneFatom. It will take a while to find my legs....but everyone here did it. I think I know how Clark felt moving from Smallville to Metropolis.
Hey, everyone! I have been reading the forum for a few weeks and just recently joined. I am from Waco, Texas and am friends with longtime member, texgunslinger. I've been reading Stephen King since Carrie first came out, but didn't start collecting until a few years ago. I primarily enjoy collecting both Stephen King and Dean Koontz S/L and ARC/proofs. So far, with a little help from texgunslinger, I have 11 S/L Stephen King books, just a handful of flat signed King autos and a few SK proofs. My collection of Dean Koontz is more complete than that of Stephen King. I've been an active purchaser of Cemetery Dance and Subterranean Press books for about 3 years and am looking to grow my collection. My most recent acquisitions are from the SK Cemetery Dance grab bag and received the IT ARC with the S/L cover and the 3rd proof of FDNS. I look forward to getting know everyone better and being an active contributor, but will probably just listen and learn more at first. Went to the recent signing at BookPeople in Austin and was disappointed that I didn't know Randall Flagg and others were there. I would have loved to introduce myself. Jeff

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site. I can't really say which book is my favorite, since I love them all. But I have to say Oy is my favorite character.
I'm from The San Francisco Bay Area, 47 y/o. I found the link to this site at
Welcome! I posted a link to here a while ago on the SKMB.

New to the group and not sure where to ask, but I have a question regarding dust jackets. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful.
