That's my favourite HST book along with Proud Highway (personal letters vol 1). Unbelievable to think he typed all the personal letters with typing machine and kept a carbon copy.

Yes sir! Truly amazing journalism, indeed! And that movie was the most closest to a book I've ever seen. Of course, it helped that Hunter and Johnny Depp were friends AND Hunter was on the set to make sure that every detail would get transferred from the book to the screen. I still need to buy a copy of Proud Highway... sounds like another good read.

I've been trying to track down those too Lids, picked up three or four of them in the large trade paperback format. It's the OCD in me that makes me want to collect the set before I start reading them! Cheesy

I've just read the Stieg Larsson books, which were superb, and now I'm reading The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo. I recently read Day Of The Jack Russell by Colin Bateman, a Northern Irish black comedy crime book, he's the same guy who wrote Murphys Law, the James Nesbitt TV show.

My favourite author is Robert Rankin, I've read pretty much everything he's done. It's kind of sci-fi, but not! Most of it is absolutely ridiculous!

I had every SK book except two copies from the gunslinger series, #3 and#4.  My OCD has been replacing my paperback copies with UK 1st Editions and that's anything prior to 1989!  I still have to hunt down a large paperback copy of Wizard and Glass to complete the series, but I thought I would start them now.

UK 1st Edition of Carrie went on ebay for £1500, the US editions  = $100!!!!!
