You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
I picked this up on eBay for well under cover price. Not pristine by any means, but a fun little item.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
It's a flipback edition of the book. The entire text is included, and the book itself is only about the size of a smartphone. The pages are super thin, like a Bible. Onion skin? Whatever it's called.
It may not be very practical - I doubt I'll ever read it - but it's a fun variant on the usual.
Size relative to a standard paperback, chosen at random:

You were supposed to take them to the beach and pretend to read them while you looked at girls.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
That's cool... I wonder if it's only a format done for Misery...
It wasnt done just for Misery, but that's the only King title done in that format.
I am not sure how many titles by misc authors were done before they decided to discard that format
edit : amazon.co.uk lists 31 titles from 2011-2014

Thanks for the comments and info, everyone. As needfulthings said, you can still order them new from Amazon UK, and there are usually a few up on eBay. So it's not a rarity, but it's a fun collectible.
I'm actually really happy with the condition mine is in. It's used, and I definitely wouldn't rate it "as new", but it's a solid "VG", maybe even "VG+". Frankly, it's in better condition than some new books arrive via post.
My inability to sleep is making me desperate.
(Some recent acquisitions.)

I did not like that book for some reason, but I do like the limited editions of it. I still covet the lettered edition.

Don't care for the story either but nice add all the same, Jack!

I don't care much for the story, either, but it's a nice edition, and I like the illustrations. They don't come up as often as I'd expect either, given the largish print run.

Great additions.. You been busy, man!
