there is an entire thread dedicated to the variants. see here
"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
Speaking of variants of the trade editions. I know of most of them and have most of them..at least I think I do.
I recently learned of 2 I didn't know about.
Does anyone have a list of the trade editions that have differences and what those differences are?
See my post above.

Terrible.
Ok, thanks guys. I appreciate it. It was in a Book Club edition of Christine, which was another red flag.
Wouldn't give it to an enemy for free.
You don't know my kind.....You don't my mind.....Dark necessities are part of my design.....
I'm not actively seeking them but I agree that you need all three for EOTD. Hard to find in Fine shape and if you do, it'll probably be the variant you already have. Murphy's Law being what it is. I do have all the Black House printer variants. Mainly by accident.

So it's just the rarity that makes these three more desirable than something like the three variants of Dolores Claiborne?I'm not actively seeking them but I agree that you need all three for EOTD.

I'll leave that one for the experts.So it's just the rarity that makes these three more desirable than something like the three variants of Dolores Claiborne?I'm not actively seeking them but I agree that you need all three for EOTD.

It's because of the scales.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
The scales are cool for sure!
Since I had not seen this post previously, I thought I would quote the portion about US 1st editions here as it has a lot of good information.
I knew about most of the DJ variants....and TEOTD variants.....but gotta say I did not know about the rest.
Not sure if Just After Sunset should be on this list as it is kind of like a gift edition....not unlike the unsigned Under the Dome that came with cards.

Personally I don't collect the variants. (as soon as you do, the publishers will start making 5 variants of each book). The one exception would be 'Salems's Lot, although I only own 2nd state, I would buy a 3rd state if I ever saw one, and a 1st state if I could ever afford one.
Wanted:
'Salem's Lot Portfolio #606
Fairy Tale UK S/L
Only variants I have are Salem's Lot 2 & 3. I use to collect comics and am not going down that long and expensive (and space taking) road.
Wish List:
Any of the following flatsigned or inscribed-
It, Shining, Salem’s Lot, Mr. Mercedes, The Stand
Brother ARC, Seed ARC
I am happy with the EOTD I have. I just can't start collecting variants of everything. I hardly have enough space as it is.

Probably the wrong place for this but FYI
Mrs. Todd’s Shortcut is included in The Big Book of Modern Fantasy edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer on sale July 21st
On the plus side....in the grand scheme, there are not a lot of US variants.
6 dust jackets (I am not counting the 'Salem's Lot 1st, Bachman Books, and Just After Sunset)
14 books.
What's 20 extra books on your shelves?

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned elsewhere, but based on my digging, it’s possible to get a copy of Insomnia in either color combination from either printer, so there are really four different variants of that book. Although, in that case, I think I’d be plenty happy having a red/white from one printer and a white/red from the other.
Edit: printer, not publisher
My head just exploded.
Thats 21 books now.
