    I understand that. I live near a Barnes & Noble and rarely bother with it. I am so spoiled by Powell's, they are the last destination bookstore for me.

    The Mist = $6.99 Amazon.com: The Mist (9781982103521): King, Stephen: Books
    Apt Pupil = $11.35 Amazon.com: Apt Pupil (9781982115449): King, Stephen: Books
    The Sun Dog = $8.47 Amazon.com: The Sun Dog (9781982115425): King, Stephen: Books
    The Body = $10.17 Amazon.com: The Body (9781982103538): King, Stephen: Books

    Purchased alone they total $36.98
    Purchased with Slipcase total $52.00

    Scribner released these little individual story paperbacks a few years ago. I have encountered them at Powell's. They never stock all of them at once. They usually have two or three stories stocked at a time. Each visit seems to have a different assortment. The possible exception appears to be Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption which they usually have.

    Go to Facebook. Find Overlook Connection. It's mentioned there although it is not an Overlook Connection release. ~Cap

  • I Haven't Seen This New Set Mentioned Here Which Surprises Me

    So I stumbled upon a new SK release, four books in a slipcase. I actually learned of this release on Facebook. I do not see the release mentioned here. One of the books is one I wanted and missed out on. I just preordered it.
