And the gunslinger follows… With two recent Dark Tower releases and a forthcoming grand finale, fans of Stephen King’s dark fantasy series may want to brush up on the first four volumes of the series. “The Gunslinger,” “the Drawing of the Three,” “The Waste Lands” and “Wizard’s Glass” all have their individual flaws, but the overall effect is excellent.
Mass market editions It should be noted that this box set contains the first four books of the Dark Tower series in mass market paperback.

The mass market editions do not contain any illustrations. I would say go for the trade paperback editions. If you don’t care for the illustrations then you do save money with this box set although you can find good deals on the trade paperbacks in used condition.

Roland’s quest is to find the Dark Tower, a fabled building said to either be, or be located at, the nexus of all universes. Roland’s world is said to have “moved on,” and indeed it appears to be coming apart at the seams — mighty nations are being torn apart by war, entire cities and regions vanish from the face of the earth without a trace, time does not flow in an orderly fashion; even the sun sometimes rises in the north and sets in the east. As the series opens, Roland’s motives, goals, and even his age are unclear, though later installments shed light on these mysteries…
