Eyes of the Dragon differences between Philtrum and Viking

[mae]

I did a search and couldn't find anything on the subject. Sorry if it came up before. It probably did, but oh well. It's been bothering me for a long time. Obviously, I have the Viking edition, as the Philtrum edition is way too expensive for me. I know the book was revised between the two editions. So the question is, what exactly was changed?

Good question!!! Wish I had an answer!! EOTD was never my favorite, but maybe in fairness I owe it a re-read!! Thanks, Pablo................................again!!!!

Yes, I knew they both had different artwork (I prefer Viking's), but I meant textual differences.

I know the Philtrum Press edition is very big.
Would love to get one but are out of my price range. We are talking about the S/L's aren't we?

I believe the question had to do with the textual differences, not the physical differences. It really is a question (if I understand it correctly) for another forum, however the forums discussing the trade edition likely won't be of much help either.
Only a Collector that has read both versions would likely have an idea. I do believe Jhanic has read both versions-perhaps he will chime in.

I've read them both, but it was a long time ago. I'll have to refresh my memory.

That's be great, John, and very helpful!

Or you could just mail that S/L to me John and I'll read it so you needn't trouble yourself.

Yes, that's the reason I posted this here (but I also copied my question to the general EOTD discussion thread. The textual differences between the two versions of The Gunslinger were pretty thoroughly documented, but apart from the fact that EOTD was "revised" between its 1984 and 1987 editions, there's no information about it.

Probably an unpopular opinion but from what little I've seen I prefer the art from the Viking edition. Just seems to fit the story better.

I am curious though about the extra chapter.

I like the Viking art better too.

This never got answered, but Pablo did find an old thread from dt.net that compared the revisions in DTI.

That article on The Gunslinger is awesome.
