My Stephen King Hardcover Book Collection - First Editions and Curiosities!

[@KeyDyer]

I personally loved revival, and being able to find an affordable first edition is awesome. It will only bring me more joy with time. Fingers crossed i can get him to sign it !!!

[@towerjunkie1947]

Fantastic collection! I collect hardcovers too, but not first editions particularly. I have the same Ghost Brothers of Darkland County as you, but I got it in late 2018 so it was $60, but worth it. It would make a great movie. I only managed to get The Gunslinger and The Wind Through The Keyhole in Hardcover in The Dark Tower series. I wish I had them all in Hardcover because I love those books so much. Keep on collecting!

[@YannLL]

Thanks, I've kept on buying the new ones since the video... I must go back to buying more classic SK!

[@agwooding1]

You have a really good collection, that edition of Carrie has me very jealous even if it isn't a true 1st edition :)

[@YannLL]

Thanks, look for it on ebay, you never know! It wasn't expensive.

[@dougsworld7533]

Nice collection! . Loved The institute , especially the 2nd half of the story. One of King's best climax & endings for sure !

[@YannLL]

Cool, still reading it! Got distracted by the Castle Rock blu-ray set that I received recently. So much SK fun lol

[@PaperbackJourneys]

This is a great collection mate!! I just started with Stephen King recently. I've been reading and reviewing The Dark Tower on my channel. These books are something special. First Editions too?? man!

[@carlostaborda2418]

Hermosa colección! Me encanta que los mostraste en detalle a cada libro. Felicitaciones! Un gran saludo!

[@staceyh8654]

Great video! Thanks for sharing all your tips on finding 1st editions.

[@YannLL]

Thanks for watching! And go get these 1st editions, it's a fun egg hunt!

[@staceyh8654]

@@YannLL I'm going to start checking the books in the 2nd hand stores and yard sales! Now I have some ideas of what to look for.

Awesome collection!

[@cynthiaquan5141]

Nice collection! I like how you have all of them in mylar covers

[@YannLL]

Oh yeah, I protect these babies 😉

[@joefpsunset]

Nice collection. I collect as well. Just want to let you know that Hard Case Crime came out with a hardback Joyland Illustrated Edition Published in 2013. Also, on the Dark Tower Book 7. The true 1st edition is the Donald M. Grant artist edition. Only 5k printed. Last time I checked they still had some available on their website. Also, PS Publishing in the U.K. will do special editions of SK books From time to time. I have their version of Thinner which is illustrated, artist signed, With a low under 1k print run. Happy collecting!

[@YannLL]

Many thanks for solving the Joyland mystery for me! And I wasn't aware of the artist version for DK7. 👍

[@divad44]

Did you put all those clear protectors on the dust jackets yourself? What material is it? AWESOME collection

[@YannLL]

Hey, I use BRODART Just-A-Fold 10" protective covers. You can adjust the size when you fold them, and you can find them on Amazon

[@divad44]

@@YannLL awesome thanks I’ll check them out

[@CapAnson12345]

I've gotten into book collecting and it's surprised me just how few Stephen King hardcovers/first editions are around. I figured he'd be an easy author to collect considering he's been the most famous author on the planet for over 40 years. Nope.. just oceans of paperbacks and a couple of recent hardbacks usually.

[@emmaphilo4049]

I had never seen the Bachman picture, it's hilarious!!! Love it Great collection ! I would love to collect but I have very limited budget so I am studying what to buy! I am French (I think you are too!) so I might try first French editions...

[@YannLL]

Haha oui je suis Français of course, bonne chance pour ta collection!

[@lewys9204]

Stephen bachman - rage; now that's a collectors book $1800!!! Not kidding. As you know bachman was kings pseudo name :D Rage is one of the books I still havent got yet

[@Valera_Scotland]

Fantastic collection well done! I recently started collecting and ended up buying a dozen or so UK hard backs... and now I'm wondering if I've made a mistake and should start again but with original USA versions. Would you say they are nicer in terms of illustrations etc? The UK editions don't seem to have much artwork in the first few pages

[@YannLL]

Glad you enjoyed the collection! I can't really comment on UK editions as I only have one (Bag of Bones) but in general I prefer the US covers. And also, US editions are more fun to hunt down 🙂

[@Valera_Scotland]

@@YannLL that's a good point about the hunt! I'm using abebooks to buy them. Would you recommend any other websites? Some usa shops don't charge too much to post, which is great. Of course as I'm sure you'll agree the trickiest part is quality. Half the ones I bought so far have been a little poor .... and also I didn't know about book club. So when I first bought 10 or so, half of them arrived really small and the paper is thin! Not great. So they'll be going straight to charity shops

[@YannLL]

@@Valera_Scotland I did buy some from abebooks, but the majority was on ebay, also found a couple in second hand bookshops in London. Also try on Amazon UK and look for resellers based in the US. Shipping costs are very low.

[@joshfulcifan1015]

Great Stephen King novel collection. I was wondering if you could help me - I have a hardcover of his "IT" with the picture of the Demonic Neibolt House "with teeth" artwork, what can you tell me about that edition?

[@YannLL]

Thanks! I'm afraid I don't know about your edition. Sorry, can't help ☹️

[@JoelBN_]

This is a fantastic collection. I’m in the UK so it’s a bit tricky to get a hold of the US editions but EBay helps a lot. I have quite a few of these but of course want to collect all of the first uk and us editions. Some are hard to tell though

[@YannLL]

Yeah ebay is great for US editions, you don't always get them as advertised though!

[@JoelBN_]

Yann LL I know. I always try and check that it has photos of both the copyright page and the price in the dust jacket and making sure that the photos are of the actual book before buying. It has worked so I haven’t been missold a book yet but it rules out a good 80% of the search results

[@YannLL]

@@JoelBN_ Yeah believe me I am a lot more careful now!

[@JoelBN_]

Yann LL I really like how you’ve covered all your books I’ve just got a roll of cellophane but have no idea how to use it

[@YannLL]

@@JoelBN_ I use BRODART Just-A-Fold 10" archival plastic book jacket covers. You can buy them on Amazon UK, about £15 for 10 covers including postage. Bit pricey but very good quality and super easy to use.

[@NiHiKata]

Hi! Do u know if the hardcover edition for It by scribned book company comes with the pages swen or glued?

[@YannLL]

Hi, like any other book I have. I think they're glued.

[@jesussalomon5273]

Hey quick question regarding the dust jackets. It appears you have your books wrapped in plastic. What do you recommend to get so I can also protect my first editions?

[@YannLL]

Just got back from London. Have you ever been to Henry Pordes books in Charing Cross?

[@YannLL]

No, I haven't. Did you spot interesting finds there?

[@JoelBN_]

Yann LL yeah a few. First UK edition of Pet Semetary but for me it was overpriced for what it was at £80 but I was able to pick up a signed US edition first printing and SIGNED of Hearts in Atlantis

[@YannLL]

@@JoelBN_ Wow, amazing. I'll check it out when in the area - thanks for the tip!

[@jordanclark6972]

I’d rather have a book club edition in perfect condition than have a first edition that looks terrible in awful condition. That’s just me

[@EseTipoConUnLibro]

Awesome!!

[@BuhhaDog]

That’s nice what’s your favorite ones?

[@YannLL]

Ironically given the current situation, my favourite is The Stand. But I also love Pet Sematary, IT, Firestarter, Misery, The Dark Tower books... most of them in fact!

[@l.a.m7645]

Do you have his 1st book Night Surf 1969?

[@YannLL]

I'm afraid not...

[@jeffcarlson3269]

I don't mean to burst your bubble but you do Not have the complete collection of King novels.. at least you did not show every one...I on the other hand..DO have every book in the first edition...1st printing......except for Carrie.. which is the first edition second printing..... 6 books I know you did not show... Tommy knockers... Cujo .... Dead Zone.... Christine... Skeleton crew Misery.. unless I missed you showing these in this video if so my apologies.. there are some other novellas you did not mention...as well... all told.. with the new ones released in the last 2-3 years.. there are well over 70books.. in the Stephen King collection.. and of course since you do Not have first editions.. and have gotten some books later... due to later editions. .your chronology is off as well

[@MrBoots1987]

That sucks you don’t really have any first editions. Not really worth showing a video if you don’t have anything rare...

[@YannLL]

Hmm not sure what you mean, at least 50% are first editions...

[@MrBoots1987]

I just meant that the first editions you do have aren’t rare. But whatever doesn’t matter.
