That's a different "The Dark Half" than I have...Those are Russian, correct?
I think I prefer that cover--mine looks like it could easily be mistaken for a Hardy Boys book! (Same with my Russian "Rage").
It is Bulgarian, I believe.
Those Bulgarian covers are pretty scary...
The Firestarter (Charlie) cover you seem to like bothers me a bit since I don't see the link between the cover and the story. I mean apart from the implied heat.
I also think "Marche ou crève" is a better title than "The Long Walk". It's a lot closer to the story and that's partly because of the title that I bought the book in the first place. It took them 10 years to translate that one so hopefully they got a good title for it!
Ah, Bulgarian...they are really cool.
A good friend of mine (which is always updating the french bibliography) is currently working on the list of all the mass paperback editions from a publisher.
And i was "amazed" to see what the publisher is doing.
Well, first of all the type on the covers is not always the same (but over the time they all get the same), but something that is shocking me is all the different colors of the type.
It's not harmonised at all, and look stupid !
Look at some of em:

WTF ???
Even when they do the same color, it's not the same. Blue, baby blue...WTF ??? Seriously!

Thank you! I think they are fabulously creepy!
These are South Korean covers for "The Stand".
In South Korea, this version of "The Stand" published all 6 volumes in 2007.

Yes, those are cool. I hadn't seen all 6 covers before. I have the Korean 3 volume IT.
There is a german edition of ES, that i really like!
The one on the picture page 95, of Bev's book : "the illustrated stephen king companion"
The picture shows it well!
Do you mean the ES Cut-out HC from Heyne?

I do like them!
I love these Korean editions and would order them without a moment's hesitation, but aren't these paperback editions?
(AS I only collect harcovers I'll give them a pass....)
sk
Yeah, but the picture in the book makes it look even better!
The blood seems to be embossed, different color... and one can show his eyes through it!
Such a great picture!

(the quality of this one isnt)
There are quite a few HC Korean SK books available at Hanbooks. It is where I ordered my copies of IT. There is also an entire series of books that match along with the IT....alll HCs I believe.
That is great news. I'm definitely going to check this out.
sk
Only Yellow and Red covers.
Al Sarrantonio 999 + Stephen King Atlantis, still wrapped
German publisher Piazza published only this two SK related HC books.

(japanese covers from a japanese illustrator :

I LOVE these Japanese covers.
If only these would be available as hardcovers.
I contacted the artist and hope to find out.
sk
I think at least some are. I know Riding The Bullet was. I have the Blue Lettered cover. :)
If you find where to buy them please let me know.
Yes, Riding The Bullet is also in my collection - lovely book.
If I find out more about these editions, I'll post it here.
sk
Right on! :thumbsup: Do you have the blue lettered, red lettered, or both covers of the Riding The Bullet.
Minor correction: Apparently from what I can find the cover with blue text is a trade edition and the red text version also has the cover picture larger and was a limited printing of 2,000 copies by Artist House. This info is just gleaned from one site though so I'm not sure on any of that. Both were unsigned/unnumbered.
This is mine: neither signed, lettered nor numbered.

I don't claim to be an authority on foreign editions but, according to my notes, the Japanese edition is the first hardcover appearance of the story. There was an initial printing of 2000 copies with the title in red letters. It quickly sold out and another printing was done with the the title in blue letters.

thanks for the explaination everybody.
What is the publication date of the japanese ed?
The french one was published at the beginning of september, with a printing being given away with a mag which issue date is : 24-30th of august 2000.
They were not signed, lettered, or numbered. The difference is all on the cover as far as I know. Bob posted both above. I have the same one you have and the other one coming sometime soon.
I'm not an authority on them either. I do somewhat actively collect foreign editions though. Anyhow I'd trust your notes and opinions on virtually anything in the King collecting world. According to this page where I found out what I know of them you are correct. :)
The page I linked to gives a date of Sept. 6th. I'm not sure if that's accurate though. A cursory search yielded no more info or mentions of the book and the site they link to there of where to purchase it is dead.
@Brice :
so the french edition could be the truely first worldwide edition. Even better with the publication in the mag :-)Quote:
The Japanese are releasing a limited edition of Riding the Bullet in book form on September 6th! The run will be limited to 2000 copies. Riding the Bullet Limited
