Identifying First Editions

Very Fine Books has released a new/updated guide for identifying Stephen King first editions.  Here is their news release:

Here's a handy new guide we just published on our blog for identifying Stephen King first edition books. 

Even though there are similar tables online, this one is unique. It is searchable. That means you don't have to waste your time scrolling through over 50 novels. 

The search bar is located at the top right of table. Just type in what you're looking for and the results should come up. 

For example, let's say you wanted to know if you have a first edition of The Stand. Just type in "The Stand" and you'll see the 2 novels there along with all the 1st printing identifiers. . 

You can even search by publication year. Let's say you wanted to know what King novel was published in 1977, just type in 1977 in the search bar and you'll see The Shining and Rage. 

Very Fine Books Opens: CUJO'S CORNER

Cujo's Corner is open, thanks to Very Fine Books.  So, what's missing from your collection -- because they might just have it!  Need a first edition Dark Tower? -- signed!!!, they have it.  How about the entire Dark Tower set?  Yep, that too.  Need a first edition of Carrie -- yep, they have it.  How about a German bootleg edition of IT? Yes sir, they have it.

A lot of their books (most?) are signed.  If you're looking for signed books, you should definitely buy from someone who deals with Stephen King books on a regular basis.  Places like Very Fine Books is exactly where you want to go -- avoid ebay for signed items!
