1: The First Three...
What more can a King fan ask for? This is a brilliant 3 novel edition of King's first 3 published books. I'm sure you don't need my review on the books, since by now you know all of them very well. This Edition has no flaws, unlike mentioned in earlier reviews, so I'm going to guess they fixed that. If you really are looking to expand your Stephen King hardback collection; this is the book to do it with.

2: Beautiful volume.
Three of King's best in a convinent attractive package. Editorial errors mentioned in a previous review are not applicable in the copy I just recieved from Amazon. The publisher must have made the corrections in later editions. So don't let that deter you. The novels sell for up to 3 times as much individually, so you can't beat the deal or the fun this one book offers. Have at it.

3: sweet deal
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mom. She almost had his complete works except for these three! It was a perfect gift! It would also be a great way to introduce a reader with these three classics!

4: Three for One
With the exception of maybe Misery and all but the last 10 minutes of It, these are the three books by King that developed into the best film / TV projects. Salem's Lot (the Tobe Hooper / David Soul version) was an excellent TV movie. The Shining is a Kubrick / Nicholson classic and Carrie is a good De Palma / Spacek vehicle. Therefore it makes sense to entice film fans in by sticking all three of the novels together in one book. What's even better about it, is the fact that no matter how good those films are, these written versions are superior. Highly recommended.

5: The Early Years of the Once and Future King...
The three best horror novels from Stephen King's early career are finally available in one complete volume, and I for one am estatic. King is still the greatest author who ever lived, and these stand as some of the scariest books ever written. Salems' Lot is the best vampire novel of all time, and King's excellent sense of pacing works well with the genre. Carrie is beautifullay wicked, and the Shining... well, it's just good.
Hail to the King.
