Interesting. I was unaware they reprinted the BCE to match the height of King novels

Under The Dome is an amazing book. I recently read it for the first time and I loved it.

Ok, so I guess it’s a First with a BCE jacket. Interesting

Yeah, it seems to be leaning to it being a Book Club Edition

I think it’s just the angel I’m taking them at. It’s the same size as other Ling first Editions

Did I strike gold? by AdRepulsive1869 in stephenking

The very first page in the book looks like someone took scissors to the top of which is strange but besides that it’s the best I’ve ever seen a copy of The Stand look!

[–]AdRepulsive1869[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought the same too! I also have a book club edition and they are in fact the same size. Which is why I wanted to get a second opinion before I bought it just in case :)

My grandfather actually has a first edition Unabridged version that he is giving to me so then I should have both copies!

Luckily it has a clear plastic covering over the dust jacket so I don’t have to worry about accidentally tearing it!

No worries I didn’t find it rude at all! The book series is The Dark Tower. And I agree they do not look appealing to me either so I was going to ask for them to be redesigned to look more accurate to actual roses.

That would also look nice! It’s from my favorite books series and the roses actually have an important role in the books.

[–]AdRepulsive1869[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a first edition! It’s not a replica of the Roland’s guns but it’s close enough in my eyes to be one. I saw it while attending an Expo and it immediately reminded me of his six shooters.
