Product ReviewsThe Dark Tower Ser.: The Gunslinger by Stephen King (1982, Hardcover)

The Ultimate steven king collectable

I have been collecting copies of this book for almost 25 years. It is an excellent initial foray into the world of serious Stephen King book collecting. The hardcover trade edition had a run of only 10,000. The copies available today range widely in condition and price. Even a damaged copy will fetch in excess of $100 while a near perfect copy can top $1,000. It is very hard to find a copy without some flaws in the dust jacket. A copy with a torn and damaged DJ will run around $250 to 300 while a copy with minor damage at the spine and small closed tears will run $400 to $600+. This book will continue to rise in price as time passes. A few words of caution are in order.... Insist on clear legible pictures since people will claim something is "mint condition" when it clearly has visible wear. Also, be very careful on buying inscribed or Signed copies unless it is the SIGNED LIMITED EDITION. If you decide to venture into the world of collecting this book, be careful... It can be addicting to try to find a clean copy and a good dealRead full review...

The Dark Tower Gunslinger Born "Grant Edition"

This first book in The Dark Series takes us back in time when the old West had gunslingers, or in this Series we are in an alternate reality where the world has moved on. The Gunslinger begins his quest to right things that are causing his world and all the worlds to fall apart. He is the one that has been selected to right this wrong. This is a great story about the life of the gunslinger and his character.Read full review...

The ultimate.

On a quest to collect every first edition King Book and while the gunslinger is 2nd edition technically (close enough IMO), this set is the nexus of my nearly complete collection ( much like how the Dark Tower is the center of the King-verse.).

Condition and products were as advertised.Read full review...

Amazing Book!! Best Series Ever Written!!

You will not find a tale out there with a better cast of characters and story line. From the GREATEST Horror Mind out there, and possible one of the greatest writers of all-time, comes the story that took him over 30 years to complete. This is the first book and the hardest to find. Don't miss out!! Would you want LOTR 1st/1st. This will be that!!Read full review...
