Dear Stephen King,
Look, The Colorado Kid is a really nifty little book (although overpriced by about $3.50), and I don't regret any of the forty minutes or so I spent reading it.
That said:
If you're going to set a story in 1980, please, for the love of The Overlook, don't have characters in Denver step out to go to Starbuck's (which was still in Washington only at the time) or refer to renting movies at Blockbuster (which didn't even exist back then).
Otherwise, a damned fine novella.
