"Bret Donnan is a wonderful guy to deal with! I both bought and sold books from/to Bret. He has a great inventory and collection of rare Stephen King books, he's a real fan! The books he sells are packaged to be bulletproof, and the communication is excellent. Buy with confidence from Bret! Cheers from the Netherlands!"

“I recently bought an autographed book by King from Bret and I am really excited about this experience. I live in Italy near Rome, and with courtesy, patience and great professionalism I own today the 1 UK edition of autographed Christine, a dream that has come true thanks to you” ... “I will never know how to thank you.”

"Bret provides an excellent service. He was very kind and patient when I was buying a first signed King book for my friend. All the books that Bret sells are in great condition, and if not, he discloses it. When you're buying from Bret, you can be sure that he will take care of you 100% because he cares about his customers around the world. Either when you're buying from the US or across the world from Prague, Czech Republic as I do. Thank you Bret, looking forward to do business with you again."

“I have worked with Bret on collecting King for some time now, and I can say unequivocally that he has the utmost integrity in buying and selling rare King books. He is not just a seller…he is a patient sharer of knowledge, and has spent countless hours answering questions and providing advice to me, and MANY other collectors. When I have a question about King collecting (values, estimating condition, etc.) Bret is always my go-to, and I consider his word gospel in this hobby. Put your trust in this guy, and will never go wrong.”

They are always readily available to answer any and all of my questions and provide assistance. They made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer. I give Needful Kings a FIVE STAR rating!"

History
I’ve been a fan of Stephen King since 1984. That was the year I read Night Shift and did a book report in high school. Night Shift was a trial run with a "new author" for me. Prior to King, I read a lot of Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stevenson. After Night Shift, I got in trouble for reading Stephen King in class more than once.
First and foremost I am a fan. I have been for most of my life. I became a collector in 1994, the year I got my first signed book. Since then, I've done business on the Betts Books website as a seller (10 years), or you might have bought from me as Donnancastle on Ebay. In any case, I have been a fan of history, autographs and collecting for a long time!
It is a joy to finally have Needful Kings OPEN! My wife Stephanie and I are committed to bringing the finest rare and collectible editions we can find to market.

I'm also avid about original art, so please enjoy Gaunt's Gallery! Our goal to enjoy collecting and provide an interesting one-of-a-kind experience.
I am here as proprietor of Needful Kings, a businessman, collector and friend. I do this as a hobby, an outlet for collecting, and as an fun way to run a collectibles shop.
I hope you find something intriging. Life is full of many interesting "things." Some you just have to have! This is a fun way for me to sell my collection, and a way to help other collectors sell theirs, if needed. Happy to help!
I am a fan. I have been for a long time. I told Mr. King that I would honor his legacy. I intend to do just that.
Won't you come in? I am hoping you will like my store. After all, hope is a good thing. Here's to hoping you find your "Needful King,” and that you are well.
