What Merlin said rings true for me - the gift editions and s/l are more specialty "collectible" books.Originally Posted by Merlin1958
Well, technically I suppose, they are the 1/1 of the Limited Press run. LOL
Nevertheless, I agree!!
Yeah, that's how I view them. Same with "PC" copies. I know that is not a popular thought, but I still think they are somehow "Special" IMHOWhat Merlin said rings true for me - the gift editions and s/l are more specialty "collectible" books.Well, technically I suppose, they are the 1/1 of the Limited Press run.

I have seen the binding of the first edition described in various places in the past as maroon. When I think of maroon I think of a dark red. I always thought the binding on the gunslinger as light brown.The First edition Gunsllinger dustjacket had lettering that was lighter in shade. More of a true yellow. The 2nd edtion was almost burnt orange.
In addition, the first book had brown fabric boards, the 2nd had black.
The first lists the price of $20 for the trade, and $60 for the limited on the inside front dj. The first advertises Conan on the back inside dj. The 2nd has a color picture added to the Conan advertisement.
That's a few of the differences.

I suppose that is why the Catalog entry says "brown". Display devices may show a different "shade", but the images are direct scans of my books.I have seen the binding of the first edition described in various passes in the past as maroon.

Yep I really appreciate that the description here on the site says brown. I am away from home right now, so I can't double check but I think the Stephen king companion say's maroon, and I know the description on The Collector says maroon. I just don't know how this book could ever be described as maroon.I suppose that is why the Catalog entry says "brown".

Afraid I've got to respectfully disagree - it is reddish brown otherwise known as maroon IMHO. It is perhaps not a deep red shading of brown, but is definitely not just brown either.
According to the highly respected Wikipedia, there's a liberal interpretation for what maroon is. I always thought of maroon as the Crayola crayon color of maroon but they're showing three different shades that are quite different.

None of their examples look the "brown" that the DTI First is:
Yeah, I never would have called it maroon.
Rust?
Russet:
Hex:

RGB:
(128, 70, 27)
Isn't the second edition a different color?
Black.
maybe that pis is a faded 2nd edition then next to a 1st?
It seems the only way to clear up this confusion is for everyone to mail me all their Gunslinger 1sts and 2nds.
You're probably correct...
At some point will someone be posting some King Books/Items Wanted ?
Sorry...someone just left me a snarky ebay comment and I am pissy.

I am looking for Dark tower books with Remarque. Im willing to trade signed King books and or cash for them. Top of the list would be a really nice DT 7 and a LSOE if there is such a thing. I have never heard of a remarqued TWOC but I would pay handsomely for that one. also looking for a SOS remarqued although I hear they are very anticlimactic. Thanks for any help finding some.
