The book was an oversize edition bound in black goatskin and engraved with a latticework of gilt. It came in its own two-piece black wooden box, lined with padded red satin, the book was wrapped in glassine. The title and author were engraved on a brass plate on the top of the box. Originally there were to have been 1,000 signed and numbered copies, along with 52 lettered copies (A-Z, AA-ZZ). However, after most of the limiteds had been presold, the two major chains, Walden's and Barnes & Noble, insisted that they each wanted 125 copies for their stores. King graciously agreed to sign the additional 250 tip-in signature pages, bringing the total to 1,250 numbered editions. Perhaps the most visually stunning of all King limiteds.
