Just arrived, and Bill was nice enough to match my number very late in the game to my number for Neuromancer:

How is the artwork in person? While I know these are long gone, debating tracking down a copy on the secondary market - but not sold on the artwork. Front piece looks nice though.

Some great stories in the volume, but I always seem to come back to 'The Winter Market' as a favorite. Of the non-Sprawl stories - 'Dogfight' is a really nasty piece of work and 'The Belonging Kind' has grown on me over the years as well.

I’m very pleased with the art, especially The Winter Market.

Damn, I wish I’d thought to do that! What a great idea!

I don’t think it ultimately means anything, but I find it satisfying.

So I figured I’d post a pic of my meager “collection” and amuse the long term collectors on this site of my naïveté while first deciding to wade into collecting Stephen King books (which came into being as my obsession with The Dark Tower series grew with each book after I started them in early 2019...I just recently finished WotC so still on my first journey.)

I had completely fallen in love with the series by the time I finished W&G but I knew it was something special as early as TDotT. Having decided I wanted a nice set of the books I headed to Amazon but refuse to buy books branded with “Now a Major Motion Picture!”

I eventually found a gorgeous leather-bound set on Etsy and came close to pulling the trigger a few times until discovering the original hardcovers each had full-page color artwork in them. After confirming the Etsy set did not have them I decided to get the original books. My thought was, “I know! I’ll take that $400 and get a nice copy of the first edition of The Gunslinger and then get the others at used book stores.” Oh my sweet summer child. Thus started my education on the value of Stephen King books and collectible books in general. I’ve been amazed at the beautiful editions I see posted here and how much lettered editions go for. I truly had no idea that book collecting could be such an expensive hobby or that publishers put out such intricate editions.

So the King shelf on my single paltry bookcase consisted only of Cycle of the Werewolf and The Mist novella until a few weeks ago. I’ve read/listened to other King but didn’t own them. Since then I started tracking down DT books and any other King novel that ties in. Insomnia is in the mail but shown here is what I have so far. Plus I grabbed Revival as I keep hearing how good it is. Most other books here are art or lore books from various nerdy crap I’m into. Until the path of the beam came along I never really thought about collecting books or even keeping the ones I read (and over the past five years I’ve really gotten into audio books as I commute for work or go on road trips.)

The funny thing is I was so excited to find WotC and SoS at a used bookstore just a few weeks ago but am now already looking to replace them since I rapidly picked up excellent copies of all the other DT books. Thanks to TnTzDad here I was able to knock out the Viking first editions of I-IV. Someday I do hope to get a F or NF copy of the Grant release of The Gunslinger, though probably second edition...we’ll see .

Nice collection Pere Jere, thanks for posting.
BTW, I’ve never said hi, welcome to the DT.org

Welcome, Pere Jere. That’s a nice shelf - stay around here long enough, and it’ll get even nicer...

Mom used to buy these at the grocery store each month and when I came home to visit from college she would present them to me (already read by her). I could have bought them on my own, of course, but it just became our thing for 6 months. Glad to have something nice to store them in now. Well done by Garrell. Thanks, Sir.
