| Re: Value in Stephen King Collection? One that I thought was a surprise was "I am Legend". If you haven't, pick it up, it's relatively short.
It's really weird if you saw the movie. It's about 90 degrees off. They are alike, but then they are not. -- "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have" Thomas Jefferson | |

| Have you done a Google search yet? I always start there and yes sometimes it is a total waste of hours. Stephen King used to live in Bangor Maine, might still be there. 20 years ago I lived down the street and around the corner from him. Beautiful house with a very fitting wrought iron fence on West Broadway. This may help if you want to track down that store. I think he grew up in Portland Maine, store may be there, also. I'm sure he has a web site. | |

| I replied once here, beats me what happened to it.
I was saying that my SK experience occurred after reading the DT trilogy. Over and over again, I found myself looking for patents by North Central Positronics. I'm normally not a big SK fan, but reading the DT changed my thinking; it's really embedded itself.
In looking through the collection today, I found well worn 1st ed copies of The Stand and Cujo. There are a half dozen early books that look like 1st ed, but are missing the telltale marks.
There are newer SK books that seem in great condition; some of which are true 1st ed.
I've found biblio.com, abebooks.com and other sites that were helpful. One of the big national resellers (seashell books) is local to me; I've sent them an email. They bill themselves as discount, but you never know.
Directly and indirectly; all the posts here have been helpful. I'm grateful for all your time and attention.

Do some online research first on the value of the comics so you do not get hosed by an unscrupulous comic book dealer or collector. -- "Facts not FUD!" | |
