Six Stories
Philtrum Press, 1997


A now classic release from Philtrum Press, and already a big collectors item. Containing six stories (DUH!), three had allready appeared in different magazines or other collections, and the other three appeared in simular publications after the release.

"Blind Willie" is now in Hearts In Atlantis (different version though), but the other five (the godly "Autopsy Room 4" among others) are collected in Everything's Eventual.

Strictly limited in 1,100 copies - 200 numbered in Roman numbers and 900 numbered in Arabic numbers. View the signature page.

Wizard and Glass
Donald M. Grant, 1997


With the latest view of Roland the Gunslinger's world, the book was subdivided and slipcased, and for those who wonder the signature page is in the first volume! Let's talk figures: 1,200 limited and 40,000 trade copies.

As some might know, Hodder & Stoughton published a limited British edition of this book in 500 copies. This one is bound in red leather and cased in a black slip, it has no dustjacket, no printing (on the cover, that is!) - NOTHING! - it's said to be so boring that I don't find it interesting to have it here. Period. But Dave McKean's illustrations is a nice sight!
The New Lieutenant's Rap
Philtrum Press, 1999
This little chapbook was given away to the guests attending Stephen King's "25-years-in- the-business"-party in the begining of April 1999. The book, in all 22 pages, is handwritten by King, stitched and printed on high-quality paper. With the book, the guests got a silver necklace in the form of a peacesign.

Signed by King, this book is allready a big collectors item. Copies have been seen at eBay at very high biddings, but most of the sellers seems not satisfied with the allready high prices...

The story is kind of an excerpt from "Why We're in Vietnam" from Hearts In Atlantis.
From a Buick 8
Cemetary Dance, 2002

NON-AMERICAN LIMITED EDITIONS
Nebel (The Mist) & Es (It)
Edition Phantasia, 1986


Nebel is an unauthorized limited edition that was made in 500 copies, of which less than 50 exist today. Most of the copies that were imported to the USA were confiscated and destroyed by US customs officials. This is a true collectors item, that pops up at the usual King-bookstores every now and then.

Es is a real book though. Printed in 250 numbered copies, the book is bound in black leather and slipcased in some red velvet. According to Other Worlds Bookstore "this German language edition precedes all English language editions", in other words: this is the TRUE first edition of It!
