Notes

No number line on first printing. Later printings have number line. BCEs have blind stamp on rear board and no price on DJ. Very large print run makes this relatively common. However, first printings in NF/NF condition or better are increasingly rare and can fetch a premium.

Binding

Black quarter cloth over red boards, silver 'SK' initials on front

Dust Jacket

$16.95 price printed on the inner front flap.

Copyright Page

"First published in 1983 by The Viking Press". No other text after, "Art by Craig DeCamps."

Notes

270,000 copies for the first printing. One of the largest first printings for any King novel at that time.
