    THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS A REPRINT ORDER FORM. (The SIGNET PAPERBACK WAS PRINTED IN OCT 1996.)

    THE BACHMAN BOOKS STEPHEN KING TRADE PAPERBACK OCT 1985. THIS IS ALSO A TRUE 1st EDITION RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE HARDCOVER (IF NOT BEFORE) Most bookstores only carried the paperback $9.95 compared to $19.95 hardcover(That is why the hardcover offer was in the back of the trade paperback.)

    Why would the ad/order sheet for the hardback edition be printed inside the TPB?
    Presuming the person had the TPB in hand, why would they want to order a hardback?

    Based on that letter the article is incorrect on the 1st edition print run (currently states 15,000). I have amended it.
    "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

    I checked in here to confirm my recollection of a simultaneous release of the US hardcover and paperback (I bought the hardcover as a Christmas gift for my sister while another sister bought me the paperback; I think it's the only King hardcover from that era that I don't own).
