I am curious What version of "The Stand" do I have ?
The thing is, I don't know. I found it in a used bookstore in hardcover without a jacket. Was it revised? I dunno. I could use some help with the detective work.
Here is what I do know:
1. It's hardcover
2. It's by Doubleday
3. No Author's note
4. 823 pages
5. 68 chapters
6. Copyright date is 1978
So What version of "The Stand" do I have ? Is there any tell-tale signs/revisions I should look for?
And here's the main reason for my posting. It was a slow read for me. It was laborious for me to read. I know, "blasphemy" right? The next question to follow is, would I like the other version better? How is its readability? Or would I just rather make out with the trashcan man?
