Books that I'm missing - Question for the experts

[Stefan]

If I had the income, I would be more interested in collecting more obscure works, but as it is, having as much as I can in one form is good enough for me. I am intrigued about the other version of The Raft however.

The story of The Raft is in his notes in Skeleton Crew. Wikipedia says the story was originally called "The Float."

[Stefan]

Now that you say that, it does sound familiar.

,,,you mean you have a copy of The Float?! SK would probably pay you for that!

[Stefan]

No, I just remember reading about it in the Skeleton Crew notes.

Ahhh, right, I was excited for a minute!

[Kevin]

You should get the first Stand graphic novels, The Stand: Captain Trips because its on sale for $6.28 at Barnes and Nobles, and their website.

[Kevin]

Also you could get The Journals of Eleanor Druse: My Investigation of the Kingdom Hospital Incident.

[Stefan]

Thanks for the tips, Kevin! I didn't know about The Journals of Eleanor Druse. I forgot to list that I have The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, so that will be a really nice addition.

[J.W.]

I was looking at my shelf this morning and when I saw these, I couldn't believe I forgot mention them:

The Secretary of Dreams, Vol. One
The Secretary of Dreams, Vol. Two


They are illustrated versions of some of King's stories. A bit harder to find, but if you are interested in illustrated editions, it's always great to keep on the lookout for these if/when they pop up for reasonable prices.

[Angie, Constant Reader]

I would also like to mention that the paperback comics of the Dark Tower comic books. There is a lot more supplement information in the back of them then there is in the hardcover copies. Though I don't know where you will find them once they are out of print.

[Chris , The Hardcase]

Dark Tower Omnibus Slipcase

That has the additional information, along with the graphic novels themselves.

[Angie, Constant Reader]

OH really? That has all the additional info? I was so annoyed when I started buying the hardcovers instead of the comics and there was like 5 pages of additional info instead of the 10 or so pages you would get in EACH comic. I will have to check out that book to read what I missed by buying the hard covers.

[Chris , The Hardcase]

Yeah, there's two books in that slipcase. One has the first 5 graphic novels and the second is Dark Tower Omnibus Companion, which has all their supplemental material. They should release another one eventually for the next segment of GN's.

My e book of 11/22/63 has just over 600 pages with some of this being further comments by SK. I see a count of 0ver 800 pages. Is there an unabridged version that I did not have?

[Matthew]

If anyone wants Full Dark No Stars in hardcover, its on clearance at Barnes & Noble for 7 bucks!

It was also on clearance in trade paperback for $6 some times back.

[Joyce]

How did 11/22/63 go from 600+ pages to 800 pages? I can't believe that the e book I read was 200 pages short?

Sometimes when I get ebooks they are shorter then hardback books. Not really sure why.

[Stefan]

It has to do with the formatting and how many words they figure fit on a page. You shouldn't be missing any content.

[J.W.]

Stefan hit the nail on the head; eBook formats are simply able to fit more words per page in most cases, as the formatting uses smaller text sizes as well as spaces, indentations--the whole deal. Usually.

[Linda]

I have that to be the case also.

[Joyce]

THX Now I know I read the whole book

[Matthew]

Does anybody know anything about Six Stories? I know that all of it's short stories were released in other collections, but I just found out that this collection even existed. I'm assuming it was a limited release? Cause I've never seen it.

[Chris ( librocubicularist )]

Limited edition 1000 ? Most appeared in Everythings Eventual .. I think !

[J.W.]

SIX STORIES was limited to 1,100 copies, all hand numbered and signed. All the stories included were in EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL, except for "Blind Willie," which was published in HEARTS IN ATLANTIS.

Copies go for around a thousand dollars, which to me is just a stupid price for a work by a modern author. The stories included aren't very good, either (my opinion entirely).

[Chris ( librocubicularist )]

I was close ..
