We get the same as the UK versions .. they must be just standard international release or something.
And yes, most of them suck but theyre all like $25 so thats ok

Are those hardcover or softcover? $25 for a softcover book seems expensive!
John
That's got to be for the hardcover, I couldn't see paying 25 for a softcover.
AU$25 ($20 US) for the large size soft cover normally, AU$35 ($28 US) for the hardcover. Small size softcovers (novel sizes) usually AU$15-$20
Remember to incorporate freight costs for internationally published books

Man, that is expensive Zone!! A paperback here is generally £7.99 with hardbacks more pricey at about £17.99...although I paid £25 for Lisey's Story.
EXCHANGE RATES PEOPLE
DT Its exactly the same price doofus
£7.99 = AU$20
£17.99 = AU$44
So its all in the same ballpark as our hardcovers can range from $35 to $50

I was wondering, when Scott's father cut himself, how was he able to heal those wounds? Scott healed himself and his brother by going to the pool, but his father never traveled to that side, yet he seem to have healed just as well as his sons.
I guess talking logic about a book describing parallel universes doesn't make much sense, but I still have to say that it felt like a logical error. Or simply that I missed out on something.
I think that Scotts father may have visited as a boy. At least I got the impression that this had been a part of his family for generations.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I Agree With Matt.
i didn't get them impression that scott's dad cut as badly or as deeply on himself as he did the boys. i assumed it was more of the cutting behavior that is seen today.
People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
I am going to merge this with the existing Lisey's Story thread with a brief redirect.
Great thoughts by the way.
Sigh, the US covers are so much better than the UK/Aus ones we get
next king release im ordering it online.

Even if he visited the world as a boy, which I personally do not believe from what was written, he could not do it as an adult. And even cutting (like some (emos?) do today) leaves scars and marks.
All Landons are fast healers, as we are told, but in what degree and how his father were is not something that's told in the book as far as I know. He did have the secret "tea-recipe", but I'm not sure what that was supposed to be. I felt that Scott used that as a decoy to not have to tell Lisey the truth about how he heals so well.
About covers, they are copyrighted to the company that prints the books, UK releases have different printing companies so they have to make a new cover. That's why there has to be different covers for different releases.
Does anyone know the value of the below book selling on Ebay? It is a Lisey's Story UK Proof without a hand written number on the title page. Help appreciated.....

You'll probably find an answer there.
I'm about 250 pages in and so far, it's pretty typical King.....awesome!
So far, I see similarities with this story and Bag of Bones. So, yeah, I like it!
Boo Ya Moon sounds like a kick ass place.
I think this is a non-typical SK book myself due to the language he's using. The first half of the book I was a bit irritated by it, but after that I got a bit more used to it and I think it's an overall well written book. Far from a favourite though.
It took me three times to get through this book as I really hated it. But once I got to the middle of it I really enjoyed it. Not my favorite either, but I really did enjoy it unlike some other people that just didn't lke it.
that would be me
