    Okay now I feel old. I own all the ones you call "vintage" (the American editions, anyway) because I bought them when they were published! All the rest are "the new versions" to me.

    Always cool to see a fellow author’s shelf, particularly one with so many books by a single author. My King section doesn’t even come close to this, but I have a helluva lot of Andre Dubus (American short story author).

    It's really cool that you made your own copy of The Plant, I agree it's not as nice to read off a screen.

    Lovely tour Dave. I need to get Charlie the Choochoo in my life! I remember I worked in Waterstones when TGWLTG pop-up book came out and can't remember why I didn't grab one!

    Wow great channel - just started a full re read of all the King books in order- I first started in 1980ish with Salems Lot and have been a fan ever since - so Carrie and Salem not reread so far and they hold up so well still

    Nice collection! Still tracking down my last 5 rainbow editions (The Dark Half, Gerald's Game, Dolores Claiborne, Rose Madder, Desperation). I'd be interested to know the ISBN for Just After Sunset with the matching blue cover

    I didn’t realize there was that cool alternative Billy Summer’s cover out already. I thought the one we have in the US w/ the red trees was the only one. Classic US-centrism 🤦

    Enjoyed that. Just wondering why you dont collect the Hardbacks? I understand that Paperbacks are easier to read, but Hardbacks look so cool.

    • @DaveReadsKing
      @DaveReadsKing  Рік тому +4

      Good question! I don’t do hardbacks for a few reasons; too expensive, too big and awkward to read, too heavy to carry around, and too much fear of damaging the spine. Also, for my money, I don’t like the look of them on a shelf - for my tastes, paperbacks look way cooler

      @@DaveReadsKing All fair points. Personally I love the covers on them and I enjoy the large look of them too. However, I agree a papeback is much nicer to read through.

    Lol I got the original Christine (Hardback) The Dark Half (Paperback) and the very strange UK IT edition with the house with the clowns face - not sure if it's a first edition print lol. My Mum had it and it used to creep me out as a child along with the cover of The Keep - shudders lol.

    I went on ThriftBooks to get many of my collection. However, the frustrating part about that is they don’t come with the dust jackets half the time, and there’s no way of knowing beforehand. Etsy is much better. Idk if it’s USA only but it’s helped me tremendously.
    I’ve noticed you have a lot of copies that I’ve never seen. Maybe it’s different with each country/region. I wouldn’t mind collecting many of the ones you have, brother! Keep doing what you do! Love this channel and am loving your book by the way 🤘 🎈 💀 🔪 📚

    • @DaveReadsKing
      @DaveReadsKing  5 місяців тому +2

      Good question! The short answer is that, yes, I just prefer them 😊 the slightly longer version is that they’re easier to hold and have in your work bag, no faffy cover jackets to deal with, and the sight of an old paperback with a spine that has been cracked over and over again is something I love!
