I am new to this chat room and am having trouble posting my input. I am looking at a first edition, first printing, possibly first state of Salem's Lot. The dust jacket has the $8.95 price in the upper right corner on the front flap of the dust jacket but refers to Father Callahan instead of Father Cody. The book is definitely first edition with the code Q37 on page 493 and is signed by Stephen King four years after initial publication. It has first edition on the copyright page of the book. My question: is this a first, second, or third state of the dust jacket or is this a publisher's print anomaly? Any help with this matter would be appreciated.
