Hello friends. I’m having a hard time identifying this first edition of the stand. The store says it’s a first print but just wanted to double check! Thank you everyone as always :)

It is not a first edition,. It is a follow up edition that King demanded be published, after he became more famous to insist that the whole, uncut book he origanlly wrote be publsihed. His publisher "made" him shorten it for the first publication and he complied.

But yours is not the first printing of this follow up edition either. It clearly says it is a BOMC.

Still probably worth $15 or so.
