by Stephen King

Illustrated by Bernie Wrightson
Book design by Bill Walker

For twenty years the officers in Pennsylvania State Police Barracks have kept a secret in SHED B. A vintage Buick which lures the troopers to come and take a look. Now young Ned Wilcox, son of Officer Curt Wilcox, has started hanging around the Barracks. One day he can't resist peeking through the windows... and it's finally time to share the secret. So the veteran troopers sit Ned down on the smoking bench and tell him the story -- every skin-curdling detail...

This was one of my earliest SK limited edition purchases. I still love it. Special kudos for going with a color scheme other than black!

[Randall Flagg]

I agree. I just recently obtained a Lettered FAB8 and it is a wonderful production.

Im still looking to find a signed limited of this book. This is one that some how got away from me. ;-(

[frik51]

I was lucky to get all three editions.
Love what CD did with it.

This is one I want to get for my collection but don't expect to find one I'd be able to afford, at least not any time soon

I managed to get one but from somewhere else. Nicely done, one of the best looking of all my King limiteds.

There is a copy of this on eBay at the moment but I don't think I can justify spending any more money this month on books http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stephen-Ki...-/231163978200

That sure isn't cheap for a gift edition.

Yeah you can find better deals than that on Ebay. That seller is trying to scalp someone.

Yes that's what I thought, I will try & find a more reasonably priced copy somehwere

That sure isn't cheap for a gift edition.

The seller has now reduced it by £20 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2311639782...84.m1423.l2649

Shame it's so expensive as this is definitely on my want list

Even with the price being reduced by £20, it is still almost 3 times the original price of $75 (approx £45). I think it is worth asking if there are any copies left available on Dan's awesome 'Out of Print' thread before paying over the odds for a copy of this book on Ebay.

Oooh, I'll give that a try... thank you
