Best King-related book ever!!
7. Dezember 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
What can I say. I've been reading Stephen King since 1975, have a collection of some 250 plus books, but never have I been as impressed by a King-related book as I am with Knowing Darkness. The quality of the reproductions is amazing; the all-round quality of the book (paper, binding, etc.) is the best I've ever seen.
Any King-fan will be proud to add this publication to his or her collection!
Highly recommended, without any hesitation.

beyond awesome, with caveats
13. November 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Okay, first of all, the price -- which, yes, is quite steep even when discounted -- does not enter into my rating. I've got some thoughts on it, though, and I'll get to those at the end.
No, my review is based on the book and its contents, which are, in a word, awesome. I haven't read a bit of the text yet (I just got "Under the Dome," so it's a no-brainer as to which to read first), but I did take a quick jaunt through the book looking at the art. It is an absolutely stunning collection that covers King's entire career from 1974 through 2008. The art, as you'd expect, varies in quality, but the presentation is out of this world, and the good art -- which is the vast majority of it -- is frequently wonderful.
I honestly have a hard time imagining a devoted King fan who wouldn't want this book. It would probably also be of great interest to anyone who seriously enjoys horror art. If you fall into one of those camps, and you have the money to spend on this thing, then I say you're well-advised to go ahead and spend it; I'd be surprised if you felt as if you'd been cheated.
However, I'm quite disappointed in one aspect of the product: the slipcase.
I opened the box from Amazon, picked the book up, laid it down on the kitchen table, and unwrapped it. Then, I picked it up so I could remove the book from the slipcase, and as soon as I had it in the air, the book busted out the bottom of the slipcase. It was only through having fast hands that my ultra-expensive limited edition managed to not end up in the floor.
I dearly and honestly hope that no one else who bought this book will have that happen, so maybe (and hopefully) mine was a fluke, BUT ... for a book this expensive to have a slipcase that prone to such severe damage is, frankly, amazing. And a little bit disgusting. I care about the book far more than I care about the slipcase, so I'm not gonna bother returning it. That's what clear packaging tape is for.
Still, though; that's poor, poor stuff, and I expect better for the amount of money I paid for this thing.
Nothing but glowing praise for the book itself, though.

Knowing Greatness
23. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is simply one of the most amazing books to be produced about Stephen King's world ever! The publisher has exceeded my expectations about what this book would be. There is page after page of stunning reproductions of artwork contained within the covers. It is nice to be able to view the images without the lettering (King's name and book title) super-imposed over them. Not only do you get to see the images as the artist made them, but you also learn what inspired them and about the artists themselves. Some share tidbits of what it was like to create something for the Master Stephen King. Although the price is steep for this volume, it is well worth having something like this in your collection. The only downside is the slipcase is not of the best quality, mine cracked along one bottom corner, be forewarned and use precaution when sliding the book out.
