Definately collector worthy a great addition to any collection. On a literary note this is probably my favorite set of books that Stephen King has written.  "The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed" has been quoted many times for good reason.  I think it is one of the best opening lines of a book that I have read.  Definately a MUST read!!
