- This is the video I've been waiting ages to make...a run-through of my most prized possession - my complete collection of the rainbow editions of Stephen King paperbacks that were issued in the UK by Hodder in the mid 2000s!
In this video, I go through the entire collection, tell you what I like (and what I don't), and generally just enjoy these beautiful books. If anyone from Hodder would like to hook me up with the new rainbows for a comparison, get in touch!

these editions are so cool but they’re so rare
Yeah, they're tricky to hunt down and some people want to charge stupid amounts of money for them
Let me pause this video right now to say...it's a true testament to how much I enjoy you and your videos that I'm not hating on you for the unicorn book that is the standalone The Mist. It's the last one I need and I think there's better chance of you gushing your love of Rage than of me finding this. Anyway. Back to the video.
😂😂😂 - I mean, I do like Rage more than I like The Talisman! But thanks!
@DaveReadsKing it sounds to me that pennywise wouldn't appear as that musician to you but as a copy of the Talisman
Ha! It might do!
Man I would do ANYTHING, to have every single one of these they look amazing
Sounds like we know what your special item in Needful Things would be! Don't tell Leland Gaunt!
Literally burst out laughing when you said you read the Stand to your son at 2 and screwed him up for life 🤣
Future King fan 👶
I know, right? If only he'd been born a month or so later, I've have been reading something much better like The Dead Zone!
@@ocelot815 I hope so! I'll be dressing him as Pennywise for Halloween at some point I'm sure!
I'm not collecting these, but buying them when I find them at a thrift store just to have more King books to read. Randomly enough, I found out that I own red Lisey's story! It made my day (future collector me is very pleased).
I found your channel when I had just started reading King in order and I really enjoy your videos, even though we don't have the same taste haha. Keep up the good work! :)
That's so cool you have the red letter Lisey's Story! I'm only mildly jealous ;-) thanks for checking out my channel!
I just found your channel and subscribed today. Great to see some dedication to the King for us Constants. Thankee Sai.
Thank you!
There were birds in Bag of Bones. The owl statue from his wife, so obviously still not the correct bird on the cover haha. Love these editions, great collection! Always wanted to see them all.
Oh that’s right, the owls! So definitely makes sense to include a weird crow on the front 😂
Great stuff. Have Hodder come up with the goods!!!
Ah, the Bends o' the Bow. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! 🌈🌈
Would love to see them all on your bookshelf
Thanks - I'll planning on a new bookshelf video soon as I've just moved house and got a new setup, so they will feature then!
I Loveee These Editions
Same! Obviously!
What advice or suggestions might you have for those of us who are trying to collect these from the United States? I've been fortunate to gather a dozen or so, but the shipping is unreal to get things from the UK. Your insight is always appreciated good sir - you're quite the expert at this point! =)
Ah man, there's not really much I can offer - the shipping costs are absolutely deadly...and the books themselves become expensive pretty quickly too. Short of getting a British pen pal who might be able to send them to you for cheaper, or taking an epic, rainbow-hunting roadtrip I don't have much to suggest I'm afraid!
are the new rainbow editions through hodders website or do you know where to get them cheers
I think your best shot is places like Amazon, Book Depository etc - Hodder might well have the ISBNs listed though, which would help
Where do you get all the detail about editions that are out there. I have been a fan since I read Night Shift as a kid and stopped reading for fun when I went to Uni so there is a lot of his later stuff I am still waiting to read. Working through all the books in order of date published and am up to Four Past Midnight (halfway through Secret Window, Secret Garden.
Started a collection based on what I already had but not sure if there is a way to find out what UK editions of each of his books there are so I can check off what I would like to get.
Prized possessions are the UK Hardback first edition of Christine and the US Hardback first edition of Tommyknockers.
If you can let me know how you get all of the edition details it would be greatly appreciated.
For these Rainbow editions, I was in an instagram group where we were swapping the ISBN numbers for these editions. Other than that, it just ends up being a lot of hunitng ebay and AbeBooks really!
Also what’s the isbn for the normal sized duma key
9780340952214 - I found mine on AbeBooks
Your son is never gunna be right if the first story-ending he ever heard was The Stand.
😂 four and a half years later and he’s doing ok - only the occasional bid for world domination 😂
I watched the whole video waiting to see all of them on the bookshelf in rainbow order and you didn’t do it! Lol wtf. But cool video tho. Beautiful collection. :)
Ha, sorry! I don't keep them in rainbow order anyway - I put them in order of publication...I think it looks way better :-)
same
I am from India. How can I get these Stephen king rainbow collection books. I badly need it
I got most of mine from eBay and AbeBooks - good luck!
You know it’s been a good video when your ears are bleeding 😂
Yeah 😂 still have no idea what happened with that video - I’ll have to record another one
@@DaveReadsKing I’ve seen a couple of your videos from this period are like this, but the content is still good
And my most recent in these rainbow editions was black house
Nice! That’s a tough one to track down
I'm guessing you didn't like the one liner comments on the covers... because you didn't mention it... lol
😂 they were my favourite parts, obviously! 😂
I’m in Canada and have 16 of them it’s impossible here lol
Argh, what a nightmare! Good luck hunting down the rest of them!
My copy of blaze as Bachman has a white spine
From the rainbow series? So does mine 🌈
@@DaveReadsKing yeh which is weird, cause the others one don’t
@@DaveReadsKing the only rainbow ones I don’t have is Christine, Dolores Claiborne and needful things
@nursemain3174 Cell, Lisey’s Story, Duma Key and Salem’s Lot all have white spines too
@@DaveReadsKing mhm I like the white though, don’t know if that’s a hot take but I like how it breaks up the colour and ends the pattern when they’re together
So how many Rainbows are there I believe there are 49! 🤪
I've got 50, including the large versions of Duma Key and Goes to the Movies...just need that red Lisey's Story!
@@DaveReadsKing I sold all the taller versions Duma Key, Firestarter & At The Movies but I have both the Lisey’s Story which makes my collection complete I believe whoopee 🤪
I’m in Canada , I have 19 and the rest are just impossible
@@missblink4611 oof, I'll bet. Still, being stuck on 19 is a very King-appropriate number!
What happened to the audio? I had to mute it with subs. Anyway, cool collection!
Do you mean the slight buzz? Yeah, I didn't find out that had happened until the edit and was not going to rerecord, lol
@@DaveReadsKing fair enough, i wouldn’t have re-recorded a long ass video like this either. :) love your channel btw. Reading the shining at the moment
@@FullStewart ha! Thanks for understanding - of all the videos for it happen on, it had to be one of the longest! And thanks for the kind words - how are you enjoying your stay at The Overlook?
I like the taglines but maybe i’m in the minority lol
Some of them are fine, but most of them just annoy me!
The covers are UGLY.
Lies! How dare you speak on my children like that! 🙂
J/k - I know not everyone is a fan. These editions just clicked for me...I love them!
@@DaveReadsKing They look awesome from the spine side.
@@brianmelendy1194 oh yes, for sure!
Sorry I’m new ish to Stephen king and have fallen in love with these rainbow editions! I ordered my first one but going forwards I’m a little confused on what to look for - I have no idea what ISPN means 🥲
No worries! So the ISBN numbers are codes unique to each edition of a book, so they’re very handy when trying to track down a particular edition. There are a few lists out there, but this one was something I found very useful: www.tattooedbibliophile.com/post/stephen-king-hodder-uk-paperbacks
