What does S10 in the gutter on page 447 mean? Everything else about this book tells me its a first edition?

From what I can decipher from the website https://isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/Gutter_code , S10 translates to March 1977 (where "S" is 1977 and "10" is March).

Going off Tomas' site for 1st editions, the gutter code for a first edition, first printing of "The Shining" is R49, or December 1976.

Does your copy have the words "First Edition" on copyright page? If it does, maybe your copy is a second or third printing?

Yep - it means it was printed the 10th week of 1977. If you want a cliff notes version of the Wiki Page Sherlock Joe posted, cliff check out the FAQ page
