Yes, this is listed in the applicable thread which I see you did link to. Might be a good idea to post this over there sharki67 for reference.
Thanks guys - that's what I thought
Since it's Friday night and I have nothing else to do....LOL.... I found this minor variant as well. What's wrong with me ???
It was reported to be a 2nd.Originally Posted by needfulthings
Can anyone confirm if The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon that came with The New Lieutenant's Rap was a 1st or 2nd edition?

"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
The red one is a BCE.If I'm asking question that has been asked - my apologies. Please Bare with me on this one
I found today 2 copies of Cell Hardcover with the different DJ's - the regular 1st edition as appears at the catalog and the DJ with the larger show on spine BCE as stated on other thread.
Both DJ's have the price $26.95 on inner flap. and both books have full number line 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2
As far as I know - BCE has no price on it and don't have number line.
Thoughts ?

Yep. I don't recall who it was, (needfulthings?) but a member here stated that he remembers receiving that book as a member of the SKBC with the price and numberline.
There are many BCEs with full numberlines. The price on the dustjacket is the real anomaly.
ps. Even though it's a BCE, and even though I am not a completist, and even though it isn't a "collectible", I have one in my collection.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
Thanks for your explanation Brian
Not a problem. Another tell of a BCE is if there is a bar code with another numerical code under it. The 1st editions never have the extra numerical code.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
I know it's not one of the first states, but any value since its $8.95 ?
We'd have to see the rest of the jacket to be sure.I know it's not one of the first states, but any value since its $8.95 ?

Is it just a later edition/printing DJ, with it being Father Callahan and the $8.95 price?

A early printing to be sure. But not a first.
Check for a gutter code to see when it was printed.
It certainly looks like a third state dust jacket.

I would like to bid on a US only eBay auction. If they do not ship to UK, I would be grateful if someone could help me out with sending the book to them first and forwarding it on to me. Yours grovellingly, Jon!
Happy to help Jon
