----------13 paperbacks, all Canadian printings. Perhaps of interest to a King collector, the now uncommon first Canadian printings published by Signet Books of 13 of his earlier books. Some number strings on the copyright page start at 1, and that indicates that this is the first Canadian printing, simultaneous with the first US printing, and thus a true first printing. Some other number strings start at 2, and that indicates that this is the first Canadian printing, simultaneous with the first US printing, thus a true first printing, with there being no US printings with the string starting at 2. Following for each book is the year published, the book number, the ISBN, condition and other notes: Carrie : 1975, E6410, no ISBN (oddly), partial spine crease, modest edgewear, modest edgewear, near fine / 'Salem's Lot: 1976, J7112, no ISBN (oddly), faint reading crease, back cover corner creases, black front cover with embossed face and no title or author text and a single red blood drop, near fine / Shining: 1978, E7872, 0451078721, slight spine tilt, spine creases, very mild edgewear, foil covers almost unrubbed and cover text fully readable (unusual for this book), VG+ to near fine / Night Shift: 1979, E8510, 0451085108, some edgewear, mild cover scuffs, near fine / Cujo: AE1729, 0451117298, spine crease, very mild edgewear, near fine / Different Seasons: 1979, AE2434, 0451124340, blue cover varient, spine crease, front cover corner creases, gouge to spine, VG+ / Sematary: 1984, AE3237, 0451132378, faint reading crease, near fine / Thinner: 1985, AE3796, 0451137965, faint spine creases, mild edgewear, near fine / Tommyknockers: 1988, AE5660, 0451156609, spine and cover creases, VG / Misery: 1988, AE5355, 0451153553, spine and reading creases, mild edgewear, VG-VG+ / Dark Half: 1990, AE6731, 0451167317, faint spine creases, modest edgewear, VG+ / Stand (complete and uncut): 1991, AE6953, 0451169530, modest shelfwear, unread near fine to fine / The Wastelands, 1993, AE7331, 0451173317, very modest shelfwear, unread fine.

Store description
Online sales only, since 2002. I am a longtime collector and accumulator of good books in my fields of interest, mainly science fiction and fantasy, vintage paperbacks, early Canadian paperbacks, and pulp magazines. By no means do I limit myself to those categories, and seek out interesting books in all fields at every opportunity. Now, the time has come to share my finds. I still have thousands of books to put online, mainly science fiction paperbacks, pulps and digests, so please visit me again from time to time to see if I have something of interest, or send me your wants. I go to great pains to describe condition accurately, listing all flaws, sometimes with the result that the book description may not look all that attractive. Often, the book is better than my detailed nit-picking would indicate, so please contact me if you have any concerns or questions on the condition of a book. Images of the actual book for sale are included with all listings.…

Terms of sale
The image beside my book listing is a picture of the ACTUAL BOOK I have for sale, and not a generic image provided by the publisher. Additional JPEG images are available for all books-just tell me what you would like to see. All book prices and all shipping rates are in US dollars (OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS see VERY important note below). Accepted are personal cheques/checks in US dollars, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, pounds sterling and euros, DIRECT DEPOSIT TO MY BANK ACCOUNT (USA and Canada only) and INTERAC e-Transfer Canada only), bank money orders, postal money orders (if from the US, the pink INTERNATIONAL one, please), PayPal at www.paypal.com to account johnmccor@rogers.com. For CREDIT CARD ORDERS (recommended for my customers outside Canada and the US, or if you just prefer to order that way), click on "Add to Basket" and proceed as instructed. For ALL OTHER ORDERS, click on "Ask Bookseller a Question", send me a message with your address (Canadians, please provide POSTAL CODE, everyone else only your country is needed), what you are ordering, delivery option (surface or air), and how you would like to pay, and I will inform you of the shipping rates, which will be approximately my postage costs (I make my money on the book, not on excessive shipping charges), and other details. NOTE TO MY US CUSTOMERS: Postage on envelopes to Canada is higher than within the United States. Please use the correct postage. NOTE TO MY CANADIAN CUSTOMERS: I am NOT required to charge you GST, also, an order to me means you won't have to pay service fees and GST for items processed by Canada Customs. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE TO MY OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: The default shipping rates shown are for a book weighing 250 to 500 grams. For books below 250 grams, the shipping charge is much less. When I process your order, I first try to ship your book by air even if you have requested surface (surface/sea mail can take months!), and/or I reduce your shipping charge. Contact me prior to ordering for exact costs if you have concerns. Books may be returned for refund for any good reason within 7 days of receipt, but I MUST be notified first, as SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS are necessary.
