that was my thought too! but i am absolutely no expert!
If that is the case the HIGH END bookstores would have ordered both hard and soft...or just the HARD cover in Beverly Hills.
Spoiler:
I got mine at the now-defunct Waldenbooks.

It's interesting how the proof had the Plume imprint and not NAL. So the proof is more for the trade paperback.
But it has no HARDCOVER ad in the back.
You're all killing me here.
The Bachman Books is one of the firsts I still need.
Nice copies Bruce! I'm sure John's are nice too since he bought them on the release date.
I think I might know where to buy the paperback in nice condition. I suppose I better just do it.
"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
And I never noticed that! Just checked now and you're right.
Yes, you should just do it Brian. I had the trade paperback for the longest time, and could never find the hardcover. Wasn't looking too hard though. Eventually got one, and if you want a complete collection of 1st trade editions, it's definitely one you should have in your collection. Good luck!

WANTED
Signed 1st Edition of Storm of The Century (Paperback)
I too would like a replacement 1st Edition The Bachman Books, but they are rare and pricey. Tons of later printings and BCEs on ebay, but only a couple of the real deal and seeing as I am currently unemployed they are totally out of my price range! My copy has an embossed "from the library of" on the first page. That was years before I realized how much that devalued the book! I have all of the other firsts editions, but would like to replace this one.
After this the only firsts that I don't have but would like are the individual Bachman paperbacks. I have The Running Man but need the other three! These are also pricey at least to me now and the only way I'll get them is to stumble upon them in a yard sale most likely.

I know crazy or plain crazy...pick one.
Shortly after I had one offered to me for $800. I think $700 is already too much, but you know when it itches you have to scratch,
thought I had a MM link to post for sale but I didn't read the auction properly and it was Finders Keepers.
Anyone have a small b/w or color Bernie Wrightson sketch they would part with?
