Frik51's Collection

[frik51]

Poland.

I'd love to add some Polish hardcovers to my King collection.
If you ever come across any.....

I thought I had read somewhere that a UK store was carrying all of CD's releases to help cut down on shipping cost. Maybe this was for all of the standard editions that don't sell out. Maybe Dan or Brian can clarify.

True.
Yes, I think you answered your own question.
Numbered/lettered editions are excluded, I'm sure.

PS publishing (which is the UK retailer) standardly carries gift / trades and limited editions (including numbered editions). Also if you request something from him I think he can request from us. Not 100% sure on that though.

But take, for instance, the numered IT. This book could only be ordered through the CD website and once the order is taken (postage included) PS publishing is out, right?
So we're only talking about numbered/lettered editions currently in stock?

I think we still let retailers have a very very very limited quantity. Retailers are different than distributors though, so you'll never see a legit copy of a limited edition of IT on amazon, unless someone is selling their personal copy through there. Your best bet if you're looking for a closer shipping is to contact PS publishing and see if they can get you a copy, it can't hurt to try right?

They have Full Dark No Stars, Storm of the Century, and The Dark Half plus 3 different comics available in hc (twarda means hc).

They also carry some German and English hc editions.

No problem. If you need any help with translations (as some parts of the site are not in english) then let me know.

Amazing collection. This nearly brought me to tears of jealousy! If don't mind me asking, approximately how much have you invested?

[frik51]

Oh, I don't mind you asking at all.
The only answer I can come up with is: too much.

I'm jealous of your collection; I'm a huge King fan. I got 36 of his books; none of them signed...

[peteOcha]

THANKS!!!
I'll be sure to check this out.

So did you decide to get any of the polish hardcovers?

[frik51]

I will, definitely!

[frik51]

On and off we've been discussing the Dark Tower books. It always amazes me that some King-fanatics haven't even read this series yet, because......it's different.
Of course it's different - that's why I love it.
Anyways - here's the cornerstone of my King collection.

Also from the UK, Hodder&Stoughton.
And yes, I never bought part 7, The dark Tower when it came out.
Don't really know why not.
