I think I read somewhere that Rose Madder 1st/1st has four different variant covers.

I'm aware of three, two of which were never officially offered. The most common (but still fairly scarce) of the two is:



This differs from the trade in that the title is on one line and King's name is in black and and smaller. Interestingly, this is the one shown on eBay if you choose the Stock Photo!

The second that I know of is identical to the trade edition except that the Viking logo is missing from the spine. I know of only one of these in collector's hands (and it doesn't belong to me!)

I never knew that about the ROSE MADDER jackets. Another quest to begin!
I picked this book up cheap. There is no price and no dust jacket, published by Little Brown in the UK in 1999. Is this a book club edition or is it missing a jacket? Anyone know?

First, I want to say that I have figured out there IS another unused variation of the Rose Madder dust jacket--it's identical to the trade jacket except King's name is in red!

Second, there are a number of different omnibus editions of King's works that were put out by Little Brown. In 1994, there was Carrie/Tommyknockers and in 1999, Cujo/Dead Zone. I'm pretty sure there was at least one more, but I have them all boxed away and nothing else shows on my listings. If I remember correctly, both did have dust jackets. Neither was very expensive--I got both for $21.95 each, including shipping.

All 3 books should have dustjackets with a price of £9.99 on each of them.

Thanks again for the info. I will add these to my two mile long King want list. I'm glad I bought my omnibus cheap, since it doesn't have the dust wrapper! Great picture!
