  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

SOLD-Richard Bachman (Stephen King) "Rage" 1977 1st Edition RARE! (Comanche, OK)

Off-topic, but occasionally people post things on here that aren't arcade related.  I know there are quite a few Stephen King fans here....

I'm selling a quite rare 1977 1st edition paperback (no hardcover release) of Richard Bachman's "Rage" - written under a pseudonym by Stephen King.  King has blocked future publication of this novel because of the sensitive nature of the story within (school massacre).  It was originally re-released in King's The Bachman Books, but new copies do not contain the story.

Wow.  That's really cool.  Do you have any of the limited edition Dark Tower books?

Good luck with your sale.

IMO The best story King ever wrote was The long Walk (can be found in "The Bachman Books") If you have not read it, it is well worth the read. Very hunger games'ish but less teen feel goodness

Also on a side note, I grew up and went to High School in the next town over from where he lives. a lot of the stories have landmarks where I grew up and we used to see him every now and then pull into the local convenience store to buy beer.

My parents bought a TV from the TV repair and sales shop his brother David used to own (I think it was in somersworth NH but it may have been in Dover)

Well, props for admitting it.  Sure seemed like something you bought off a customer....   ;D

Yeah, I picked it up about a year ago at a rummage sale and never got around to looking into its value. It was just collecting dust, so I might as well sell it.

I wasn't asking for a lot of money....only 99 cents to start.  ;D
