  • BOOK HAUL!!! I found SO many great books at Half Price Book's 20% off sale, including one of my rarest holy grail finds. I cannot believe I found such a collectible book at Half Price Books for so cheap! IT by Stephen King is so hard to get as a first edition unless you're willing to shell out $60 or more. Now this has a happy place in my Stephen King first edition collection, along with all the other awesome books I found at the sale! I hauled so many great books, including some vintage horror paperbacks, Goosebumps books and early works by R.L. Stine, vinatge science fiction and fantasy books, Baby-Sitters Club, Sweet Valley, scary middle grade books, new thrillers, books by Alice Hoffman, and so many more books for my ever-growing collection. I hope you enjoy this book haul. Please let me know if you would like to see more. :-)

    I stumbled upon a Stephen King goldmine a couple of years ago at a library book sale. I'm talking 30ish books, most of them either first or second printings, $2 a piece. Promptly bought them all and brought them home and realized they all had come from a woman's collection who had recently passed. It's sweet because almost each book was gifted to her from different members of her family as they were being published (there's little inscriptions in most of them). I can only hope it would make her happy to know a fellow Constant Reader has given them the same love she has. They're all prominently displayed in my library as my pride and joy 😂

    • @LibraryMacabre
      @LibraryMacabre  7 месяцев назад +7

      Aww, I love this!! I’m glad her books went to a loving home. I hope the same for my own library one day. Maybe by then they’ll be displayed in museum. Only time will tell if these books will garner that kind of treatment in the future.

It has so much geeky love in it and I can feel it even though I’m not a horror fan.

      I don't know because I sold them as a ghostwriter. Both had a teenage female protagonist because that was the request. The first one began dream-like. It was a fantasy with magic. The other started faster with a lot of dialogue as a group of friends got ready to go out on the town. It was like a Nancy Drew with magic powers. I can't concentrate well enough to be a ghostwriter now. It's hard to type on this device so sorry if my writing is bad.@@LibraryMacabre

    The Novelization for Funhouse is AWFUL....but the covers are great hahahahaha I was about to offer to send you the Owen West release.
    The first edition of IT has great cover. I think I have a book club in that regard because the price tag spot was snipped, so someone somewhere probably tried to sell a bookclub as a 1st edition lol (I got it for cheap).

      Indeed! They were rarely that expensive back then. I think because it was so thick, and by then King was a household name so they knew it would sell regardless. I’m sure it was discounted at most retailers though.

I have nothing to do with it, nor do any other content creators on here, so you should never ever take it out on us, by any means.
