just a thought... are we double counting Bad Penny's books since his big sale through Betts?
"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
Most likely. The only way to get an accurate tally is to put a chip in every book and track their locations!
How come I'm listed as having 2?
Hell, I still have seven Revivals!!!
Actually I have about a dozen King signed books.

Counted last night. Was shocked I only have 6 signed books. Thought it would be more since I have 32 limited editions. One book is double signed, so depending on how you count, I have either 6 or 7 signatures. I also have 3 facsimile signatures.
Oh well, my collection is still young, and I am only targeting signatures in the limited editions.

Congrats! Very impressive.
That is absolutely phenomanal - perhaps one of the few achievements to rival Bob's.
Do you track non-King anthologies? I see "Prime Evil," but there are two others:
"Dark Forces" anthology (1982), first appearance of the Mist.
And - "Modern Masters of Horror," (1981) first appearance of The Monkey. (I have a signed copy of that, and if there's another, I'd be surprised...)
Is the first appearance of "The Monkey" in that anthology? I thought it first appeared in the November 1980 Gallery.

A fine accomplishment, Glen. Congrats!

Nice Glen!!!
You deserve it! You worked hard for that.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I only have 2 signed books. Revival and Finders Keepers .
Thanks. Maybe when I have extra cash lying around I'll be able to get some more. At least I got to get these signed in person
