Was this book really sold for 95 cents?
I had been under the impression that it was a freebie that was given away with the WG chapbook when you bought Desperation and The Regulators.

It was released as part of a set of "A Little box of Penguins"
"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
no this is the only chapbook that came with Desperation/The Regulators.Originally Posted by tippy4
and were given away after they ran out of the FREE "Keep-You-UP-All-Night" LIGHT.
I assume you mean it was released this way in the UK....was it released in a similar fashion (box set) in the US....or was it truly sold individually for 95 cents?

I remember buying mine individually. I can't remember where I bought it though. It was the US edition.
Yes, it really was sold for 95 cents. It was part of the Penguin 60s promo. There was also The Blue Rose by Peter Straub. The books were in a big display rack, and you could buy any of the individual booklets for less than a buck. Another of the 60s was Bartleby the Scrivener, which influenced both King and Straub in subsequent writing (Bag of Bones and "Mr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff" respectively).
