Listings update for September + Win a signed copy of Hearts in Suspension!
Listings have been updated for the month. Take a look around for deals on your favorite Stephen King books! Our friends over at VeryFineBooks.com have a new contest going where you can enter to win a signed first edition of Hearts in Suspension. No purchase nessisary to win, drawing on September 13th.
I’ve had a few emails about the various anniversary releases coming out and how best to handle coverage depending on the edition. The timing of the discussion is good, since we’re likely to see many more anniversary releases over the next few years. For now, I’m sticking with the site’s main focus - covering first and limited editions. If an anniversary release has a fixed, limited print run, it’ll get its own entry (like the UK 40th Anniversary IT from Special Edition Books, limited to just 1,010 copies). But if the print run is large or open-ended (like the Hodder & Stoughton anniversary editions), I’ll leave those out. Since, by their very nature, anniversary editions are reprints of the first editions, and open-ended runs aren’t limited.
However, for those interested specifically for H&S anniversary editions, I recently found out that Blackwells in the UK has anniversary editions of IT and The Green Mile on sale, with free delivery to the USA. And will likely have similar deals for future H&S anniversary editions going forward. (thank you to skfirsteditions for the tip!)
There are over 40 new remarques up this month. Titles include Misery, Blockade Billy & The Shining. Big thanks to Alex McVey, Kristen Bird, and Sean B!
Lastly, the 11/22/63 traycase, is currently in production at the bindery and I expect it to be back in-stock towards the end of the month. Salem's Lot wont start production until after that.
If you missed it the recently annouced Dark Tower Registry is off to a good start, with over 90 unique entries. Don't hesiate to fill out an entry if you are either looking for, or have, a specific DT number
If you have books you're looking to sell or consign please reach out I'd be happy to work with you.

Have you been looking for a specific Dark Tower number to help complete your set? You're not alone. Over the years collectors have regularly emailed in looking for specific DT numbers to help complete a matching set. Donald M. Grant once kept a manual list, and thedarktower.org has a forum‑based version that is current and looks at FB and eBay lsitings but doesn't nessisarily have email contact options. I’m happy to announce that I’ve built a new Dark Tower Number Registry to finally bring this information together in one place. The site now includes an embedded Google Form where you can enter & see Dark Tower details (Name, Number, Volumes Owned, etc.). If you would like a video overview of how it works i've uploded one here
A short story anthology The Rack has been annouced by LIvidian Publications. Which includes “The Raft” by Stephen King. Llimited to 600 copies - ( this is NOT signed by King)
If you haven't visited the site, or forums, or the FB page in the last couple of weeks you may have missed the announcement about the UK Limited Edition Hansel & Gretel,which you can order HERE. It is NOT available to order/ship in the USA, Canada, or the Philippines. The signed edition sold out right away but the unsigned edition is still available and limited to just 1,000 copies. If you live outside the banned countries or know someone who could buy a copy for you and send it along you may want to consider it. have an info page up about it HERE.
I want to take a moment to share some exciting changes happening in the remarques section. With a huge amount of help and encouragement from fellow remarque fan Thomas J, we’ve been reaching out to multiple artists to get their blessing to include their work when it’s already been shared publicly on social media. The response has been incredible — many artists have been enthusiastic about the idea and are even sending missing remarque files directly to be uploaded. Over the next few months, we expect to add hundreds of new remarques to the site.
I have new info pages up in the Other Editions section for Moth and A Face In The Crowd, head on over and check them out!
The Cemetery Dance forums have shut down abruptly. However one of the regulars there has spun up a replacement form at https://www.bookhavenforum.com/ it won't have all the historical data but people have moved over and are posting there now. You can read more about this up on my own forum:)
Fake copies of Running Man and The Long walk have appeared on Etsy. It's possible they make their way on eBay at some point. I've put a post about it in the forums including how to spot the differences between real 1st edition copies and what's being sold.
There's also quite a bit of new Stephen King book news! As none of this was time sensitive, I didn't put out a dedicated newsletter, but threads are up on the forums, and the latest updates around these will show up there first or if you'd like to chat about any of it the forums are a perfect place for that.
- Talisman 3 - King's final book in the Talisman Trilogy, named Other Worlds Than These has a release date of October 6th! Above is the Amazon link, but as always I'd encourage you to support your local bookstore first if possible.
- The Jaunt - a short story available from Conversation Tree Press! Limited to 500 copies. This is just their announcement, ordering won't be available until next year.

Bad Hand Books is doing a new King related project called The End Times, which looks interesting, you can read more about it on the forums
Phantasia Press has announced that they have recently entered into an agreement to publish Stephen King's Dreamcatcher as a limited edition! There are no specific details at this time beyond that, so please be patient :) There is a thread for this book up on the forums, and for those on Facebook you can keep an eye out on the Fans of Phantassia Press FB page as well.
Did you guys know that our very own forum moderator, Ralph Mulleins, is a published author? He writes under the pen name Adam Kester and his new book titled When a Rabbit Screams is available as an ebook for just 99 cents! I picked up a copy myself a few days ago and it's next up on my reading list. A great way to support a fellow collector for the price of...well... I'm not even sure what else you can get for just 99 cents these days, a coke maybe :)
