Glad you like the books. The Waterstones version of Revival was a great looking book, as it has yellow page edges, and looks wonderful closed . Also are you familiar with the UK chain WH Smiths ? When a King book is published, the do a purple varient cover, which even here now in the UK are becoming rare and collectable.

Another great vid! I always learn something. A thought occured to me, SK has delayed release of so many novels like Under the Dome and Pet Semetary. Wouldnt it be a classic King move to have some masterpiece sitting in a drawer for the family to publish posthumously sort of a beyond the grave piece.

He's always so far ahead - I wouldn't be surprised. Some "trunk" novel that he has hidden away.

Love you’re content, thanks for sharing ! What’s your opinion on things in different translations that are 1st editions, I have seen a few French versions but don’t really understand how the value is vs. a US/UK edition.

Thank you, and great question! In my experience, the US is often considered the "top" or "main" first trade hardcover edition, as SK is an American author. The UK is desirable, being in English, but not usually as valuable as the US. Even when the book is far rarer in the UK, it is usually not as expensive as the US version. Translations will have value (of course) for the people who speak those languages. Some titles (like Rage) are of interest to more people due to the notoriety of the work itself, and some are of interest due to interesting artwork or other factors. I purchased the recent German-language special edition of IT (ES) due to the artwork and design, even though I don't speak German. And some people collect every version of their favorite title. But with a few exceptions (a bootleg German-language copy of The Mist that is incredibly rare, for instance), foreign-language translations are not as valuable as the original English-language versions. The market and demand just isn't as broad.

I have that same Dr sleep but with purple instead of the light blue. Honestly I prefer the light blue though.

It's an updated trade paperback version of the omnibus released in 1996 to coincide with the release of The Regulators. It includes Rage, which King pulled just a few years later. I'm not sure but it may be the last time Rage was commercially available in a new release. It has a different introduction than the black-covered version from 1985. Well worth seeking out!
