Is that the leatherette edition? I picked up the dustjacketed edition last year, then kicked myself when I saw the new one last week. It's bee-yoo-tiful. There's a Ray Bradbury collection as well.

B&N has a great selection of discount hardcover editions of classic works, and I have quite a few on my bookshelf.

My first Dean Koontz book "Breathless". I'm a King fan, and I've always been told I should try Koontz. I've almost dozed off at every attempt to read this book. Like King my @$$.

Same here - I resisted for so long, then tried a few. Barely finished them.
