I have man in high castle and childhood though not read them yet. Have you seen man in the high castle series? Thoroughly enjoyable I thought. Thanks for the pics. Would have been good see the covers, I have a thing about book covers. Rik mentioned in another thread about buying second hand paperbacks in markets, I did this every Saturday with my paper round money, Longton Market in Stoke on Trent, Herbert Van Thal, Dennis Wheatley, James Herbert, Shaun Hutson, King, Guy N Smith. James Herbert was my favourite with my best cover being a severed head for The Fog.

Such magical times for a monster kid, finding new authors, covers, hoping new stuff had come in etc.

The copy of the Exorcist that I read more or less once a year came from the market stall I mentioned, paid 95p for it in either 1991 or 1992, the sequel Legion came from there too

I used to do the same picking up any horror books that were cheap and looked suitably interesting or nasty.

Used to have a lot of movie tie ins and collections like the Pan book of Horror etc, along with any Stephen King and James Herbert i could get my hands on.

THe modern covers for Stephen king books are terrible.

Wish i'd kept hold of all that stuff now.

The latest range isn't great is it.

I really like this range of covers from the late 90's. I bought them all. WH Smith had them for buy one get one half price so you could get two for a tenner. I always bought a couple after bollocking meetings at work.

They are all examples of a road you'll travel on, a metaphor for King's writing perhaps?

Your copy of the Stand is in better nick than mine, I’ve read it that many times that the spine has a permanent curve now
