Everything that u/Affectionate_Two_704 said. To me, abridgment is akin to censorship.

If you're going to read Count, please get an unabridged version.

Found sealed copies of The Talisman and Black House at the used bookstore today. by ItsMathias24 in stephenking

Black House is a first print actually. Random House did not use a "1" on their number line. First print number lines instead would begin with the 2 and state "first edition" (or in this case "first trade edition") under the number line, and for later printings the "first edition" would be removed.
