    The limited gift edition of Full Dark, No Stars from Cemetery Dance. Also, a lithograph print from the Phil Hale cover art of the limited edition of Insomnia from Mark Z Publishers. The print is 12x18 and very neat looking. Best though, is the fact that King and Hale signed it! It's being framed as we speak...

    It had been a good year for my King collection so far!

    Hi SCMT:

    Phil Hale & King signed lithograph? NICE! Once you get the framed litho back take a picture and post it on photobucket so I can see it in all its glory!! Congrats on getting that, I see it is SOLD OUT. The Limited Gift Edition for 'FDNS' is awesome too. You really have added a couple of unique items to your collection this year. Way to go Tim! :0)

    Aww, don't hate me for my nook JK (I'm sure you'll get one soon, I bet you wouldn't regret it.) Believe it or not it makes reading for me much more convenient and I also read alot faster than before the nook. I still read and buy traditional books but the beauty of having so many books with me at all times was/is so appealing to me.

    I'm leaning towards a traditional Nook, to be honest. I'd rather have the black and white and the two week battery than the color, back-lit display 8 hour battery life. We'll see though.

    I also think I'd get a lot more reading done too, since the only books I've been buying in the last year are collectible in some fashion or another (even if it's only a 1/1 trade hardcover) that I am reluctant to throw in my backpack and all get beat up. So I can really see the appeal of an e-reader more and more these days...

    Hey D. :)

    Sweet. How long has it been out in your country? That's one cover I have yet to see. What is the name on the cover I may be able to find it online and see it. Have a great day/night D.!

    SCMT:

    Last Christmas I got the original nook I have to say I have no complaints about that one either. The best things about the old syle was free 3g wireless and eInk. It was just like reading an actual book for those stay-up-all-night-reading types of evenings.

    The Bulgarian name of "Under the Dome" is "Под купола". The book was published 2 or 3 months ago in two volumes, each of it about 600 pages. You can see the covers here:

    99% of King's books are already published in Bulgaria, he has many fans here. Now we are waiting for the release of "Full Dark, No Stars".
    Btw, I have read all King's novels and short fiction in English, even the uncollected stories. And I have watched all of his movies :)

    I mean that King has thousands of fans in Bulgaria and most of his books have several diff. editions, some of them like "The Dead Zone" - 4 or 5. Here are the recently published:

    "The book was published 2 or 3 months ago in two volumes, each of it about 600 pages." - Each of them, sorry for the mistake.

    Hi D.

    Thanks for the photos of the cover artwork (really awesome) for "Pod Kupola". I now know how to read the Bulgarian name for "Under The Dome". I had no idea how popular King is in your country. So much so, that there are so many different covers for some of the books.

    What an Uberfan you are D. Not only do you read them in Bulgarian, you read them in English plus you have seen all the movies. I'm not worthy!!! :) D., I'm still trying to read everything King has written. You rock D.!!!

    Hah, thanks :) I read a lot, all kind of fiction, both for pleasure and work (I'm translator, publisher's reader & writer), but I'm addicted to horror. I started to read King in 1991 (the 1st book was "Night Shift" and I was 12) and since then I'm obsessed by his dark imagination. There are plenty of great horror writers, but King is the king. Awesome style and cool ideas - a killing combination :)

    Hi D.

    For me, if only I could get paid for reading and writing..... (trailing off dreamily) I too, enjoy horror but mostly only King. Whenever I read other fiction, any fiction I find myself (unfair as it is to other writers) comparing them to King and they almost always pale in comparison.

    I feel that his writing style is unique, funny, honest, and wonderfully terrifying. Really, most would probably agree that he is a literary genius.
