    I believe the only one of mine that has anything that isn't in the cheaper version is my 1/200 20th Century Ghost by Joe Hill.


    Is there additional material in the original EotD?

I started running out of King books to read and finally picked up The Gunslinger. I was hooked

    no no, that would be my actual name, not a nickname, . But I've thought of another nickname I have.
    One of my former bosses used to call me "Ronnie Danger" because I got into alot of trouble and caused alot of messes just by being in the area for no real reason or fault of my own.

    The two editions (the Philtrum Press original and the trade edition from Viking) have a number of textual differences. The main reason I read the limited edition was that it came out in 1984, while the trade didn't get issued until 1987. When I first got the limited, there was no indication that a trade edition would ever be published.

    Thanks! I knew about both editions. I just didn't know about the textual differences. Would you say they are significant enough to warrant getting the original to read?

    This is from Rocky Woods, et al's "The Complete Guide to the Works of Stephen King":

    "King's Philtrum Press first published "Eyes of the Dragon" in 1984 in a Limited Edition of 1250. The Mass Market edition, published in 1987, contains important differences in the text, including Character changes and an entire chapter that was not included in the Mass Market edition."

    What Rocky meant to say was that the Mass Market edition has an entire chapter that was not included in the Limited.

    I would say that it is worthwhile to get the limited to see just what was changed. The changes are not as drastic as those between the original Stand and the Uncut Stand, though, and don't really affect the story at all. (For example, one of the changes is in the color of the dog. In the Limited, the dog is all white, while in the Mass Market edition, it is white and black.)

    Yeah, not by much, but it's always off for me. It only cuts off the dark background on the right, so it's not like I can't read all of the posts without scrolling over or anything.
