Question:

Any book appraisers out there?

A possess a collection of about 98% of all first-edition hard cover novels (and the full original soft-cover Dark Tower and The Green Mile series)released by Stephen King (this also includes all works written under his pseudonym, Richard Bachman). Any idea about the range of its worth? Not that I would ever think of cashing in, just out of curiosity. None of them are signed, no limited editions, and most of them are in "well-read" shape, except those purchased in the past 15 years which are in excellent condition. Thank you.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Since King's early novels' runs were all at least 5000 copies (pretty much the standard) at a minimum, with later runs much, much larger because of his popularity, there are going to be lots and lots of first edition copies out there.

Unless you have something quite rare, which it sounds like you don't, the collection's value is probably less than what you paid, assuming you bought them new.

Sorry not to have better news.
