The only ones I'm missing is storm of the century and rage, so unsure how many that is I own. I'm actually going to order storm of the century today, but I don't really want to pay the prices for rage lol
102 physical books if I counted correctly (including 4 that are in the mail and excluding doubles.) I also have 10 on kindle,
59 on audible
and a bunch in other digital formats.
I'm not sure how much overlapping there is between format types. But I know that overall I'm only missing 4. One story from People Places and Things, The Secretary of Dreams Vol. 1, Six Stories, and The Devils Wine.
I have a link to the list here but it may be incomplete. He writes a LOT:

I have a first edition of every (regularly) published book and about 100 special editions such as The Secretary of Dreams, Volume One, The Secretary of Dreams, Volume Two and The Dark Man, and a copy of each of the comics adapted from his work, as well as all omnibus. I only have a couple of magazine copies in which he had short stories published, a few Cavaliers and a Penthouse, but I've kind of given up on collecting those.
Never counted but I've read all the major works so I have had them... mostly on Kindle. I only bought the hardcovers when I was so anxious to read a book that I didn't want to wait for the paperback. Also, my daughter and her husband just started a bookstore, so I sent her all my hard copies to help build her inventory.
63! I only have physical copies. I am trying to track down the first edition hardcovers at used bookstores :)
After purchasing You Likr it Darker and Gwendy's Final Task, I have all of them in HC (I don't think the 3 Hard Case Crime books are in HC). I'm sure I do. But I could be wrong. I also have a number of them in paperback as well.
I have been a Constant Reader for 50 years now, from Carrie to You Like It Darker. My collection consists of 80 books. These include the Richard Bachman books, the Peter Straub collaborations, the two of the three Gwendy books SK co-wrote, the illustrated Cycle Of The Werewolf & the six editions of The Green Mile from how they were originally published in serial form.
I also have two extra books I'd like to mention. The first is a Special Edition paperback of IT which includes an extra page with a message from SK & his printed autograph. The other is a pop-up version of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon which I bought from a charity shop for only £3.

My son-in-law just opened a bookstore, so I gave him all my novels. I'm not sure how many kings I had, but I'm pretty sure it was all of them.

Going by my collection which is a full one, I'd say you had 75. Mine is 80 books but I have The Green Mile as it was originally published, as a series of six books. If you also had the series of six then you most likely gave your son-in-law 80 books.
