Okay and thanks :)

Nonfiction by King or an interview?

Ari, what's in the magazine Premiere with Will Smith on the cover?

It's "Characters" in the magazine.

What's in that little Party Magazine? I guess the American Vampire anthology is an omnibus containing King's contributions? And these game magazines, are they King related?

Some SK Library editions have another one-page letter titled From the Desk of Stephen King. It's also in two versions, the first from 1998, the second from 2005. Then there was a rumor of yet a...

The piece in Self is definitely an excerpt from Danse Macabre, or rather several portions of DM thrown together. It is, however, strange that it's billed as an interview by Sheila Weller.

Ari, that Nugget contains Weeds, right? Wow, good haul, many are looking for that one. Is that a screenplay next to the Prism book?

What's in the two NYT Book Reviews?

Theli, thanks;) It is the same afterword, no doubt. I guess I got confused since the info in Justin Brooks' bibliography lists the 81 paperback as the one that first carried the afterword. Now I need...

But the first PB printing (1980) did not contain the afterword. Oh well, this leads no where, I give up;)

I got that - but which edition carried the afterword first? The one you displayed?

Bruce, I've attached a link to the paperback: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=12668201627&searchurl=tn%3Dfirestarter%26sortby%3D20%26an%3Dstephen+king

Will do...but you're right, Bruce has amazed me countless times with his amazing items and know-how. He made me go crazy (again) with E.C. comics a few years ago

You did but this time I was right;)

According to Justin's book and what I found on Amazon, the Aug. 1981 paperback I have is the first appearance of the afterword.

Thanks. I have a Signet paperback edition of Firestarter which contains the afterword, and always figured it was the first appearance since it fits with the ISNB in Justin's bibliography. As it has a...

Jonp, does the Firestarter paperback you displayed have an afterword by King? Or maybe it was later printings..

Ari, the New York Times and New York Times Book Review to the right, what pieces do they contain?
