I have a Turtleback Gunslinger that has no "book 2" on it. The lettering on that appears to be gold color, mine is white.

Yeah, so far it seems like it is unabridged and normal besides the spine. Hopefully, someone can figure this one out. Thanks for the responses. I am new here.
Some more pictures would help. The front, back and copyright page please.

I'm guessing someone has done some custom rebinding here and decided that LSOE is Book One and renumbered accordingly.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
It's hard to tell from the picture but to me it looks like the "BOOK 2" was added after the fact. Looks like some discoloration of the black around it. Better resolution pic would help.
Here is the copyright page. Thanks to everyone for the help.
That's a real puzzle.
All of these first Plume printings are paperbacks. The hardback versions are publishers taking the paperback page block and binding them as hardcovers. This usually happens for library editions to make them more durable.
Turtlebound and Perma-Bound are the two main players for that market. This isn't either of those.
Maybe someone will come along with the answer.

Hello! I'm not sure if this place is still active or not, but I was digging around online, and hoping to find some DT peeps who are as excited as I am about the movie coming out. ^_^
Yes we are active. Welcome. Take a look around.
I've been trying to make some posts in the 'Dutch Hill -> Other authors you collect' - subforum, but it has been well over a week since I made them and they still don't appear. I don't think there was anything wrong with them. Is there a way for me to contact one of the moderators of that forum? I can't use the PM system yet.

Finally I figured out why none of my posts were showing up!
Is it ok if I do all my 5 posts here?
This seems to be a good place for book collectors in general, not just Stephen King! I am glad I found this place.
Welcome. Poke around. I'm sure you will find things you enjoy.
This is my first post. Excited to be here! I recently finished all seven books of the Dark Tower.
