I agree. However you would be surprised how many people don’t know this Brian. Like shocked lol

I wouldn't be surprised. I bought ~sixty of these for DR. I'd ask about the address and a lot of sellers would respond that "First published in 1981 by The Viking Press" is on the copyright page. I'd say, "That's nice, but is the address 625 Madison Avenue?" They'd tell me that the first published statement is a first edition point. I'd agree and tell them I'm not only looking for first editions but first printings which must have the Madison address.

Oh right! I bet you ran into that a LOT during that search. It’s crazy how many collectors don’t know.

A lot of booksellers would take offense. They'd list their bona fides as booksellers to "prove" they knew what they were talking about. Occasionally one would thank me.

Yes, many do take offense even though you're just asking a question, trying to help, or just verifying before you purchase. Hey Brian, Sound like someone recently on eBay?

Is this about Cujo. I am coming in in the middle I am really upset because my address is not 625 Madison Ave. Shit, Now I have to buy another Cujo? Mine says first published by Viking in 1981 but the address is 40 west 23rd street. It only has one date though, 1981.
Then it talks about the limited ed. If this is not a true first, I will be very upset. So I am guessing I am going to be very upset. So I don't have a first printing so that means it's not a true !st\\1st. I wonder how many other books I have are like that.
Sorry for the OT post. Please carry on.

Yes, it's about Cujo. Doubleday moved from 625 Madison Avenue to 40 West 23rd Street during the publication of Cujo. First printings have the Madison Avenue address on the copyright page.

As for your other books, identifying first printings is a bit harder for the older books. Once a numberline came into use, it became much easier. So double-check your earlier books against the catalog descriptions. Also read the comments for each book.

I updated the Cujo page to explicitly state the address is required for a 1st Print. The same address should also be present on the Dust Jacket (inner end flap).

Thanks guys. So I don't have a true first first. Thanks. I may check my other books. But I will end this conversation now and move it to my thread if I choose
to take this further.

Why would any reasonable person act that way? :orely: Perhaps they are not quite reasonable.

Hello,

Looking for a full sized hardcover of Danse Macabre in great shape. I don’t care about the print number or if it’s a club edition. I just want one in great shape (book and jacket), hardcover and full sized. The ones on eBay are always beat to shit with rips, stains, fading, etc.

Please help me complete my collection!

This is THE last book I need and have been looking for almost two years now...crazy!

My first round of items will be for Stephen King T-shirts...stay tuned

What are you talking about? You haven't (as you said) posted here in months and now you post some babble in the King Books/Items WANTED thread.

Go play your games elsewhere.

Hey all,
I'm also looking for a Danse Macabre however I would like a 1/1. I have one but recently acquired an inscribed edition and I want a better DJ for the signed copy. Book itself doesn't matter, DJ doesn't have to be perfect but as close as possible would be good :)
Please PM if anyone can help a sister out!
Thank you!
