I don't admit to being a raving King fan (though his writing is fantastic), but I bring this up because I think it's interesting that during this season of eBook frenzy, he's choosing to go hard copy only. Why? What does it mean?
Besides being a playful slap in the face to eBook venues, it will be a huge boost to brick and mortar stores. His choice is curious, though, because his last story release was eBook only and not in paperback format.
Perhaps King likes variety. Perhaps his favorite first cousin once removed runs a bookstore down the block. Perhaps he's waxing nostalgic. Who knows?
The fact remains that he's a big enough name to do whatever he wants, and I suspect bookstores are ecstatic.

I've never read any of his books, but I've seen some movies based off his books 'The Green Mile' and 'It'...a bit freaky, but interesting. Oh, and 'The Langoliers'.
Be praying for me, my grandson leaves tomorrow for Idaho. It is going to hit me pretty hard. Thanks.
Oh buddy, that will be tough! Yes, I pray that God will bless you with an extra measure of His presence to ease the ache in your heart for your sweet grandson.
