1/1 or Pristine Later Printing?
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2022 3:49 pm
A recent find got me thinking and I'm curious what y'all think ...
Would you prefer a first edition/first printing of an early SK book or a later printing that is in almost perfect condition?
Given that first printings of his older books like 'Salem's Lot, Firestarter, and The Shining were printed with such poor materials, I know it's almost impossible to find a 1/1 in excellent shape nowadays.
I'm also not talking about the Book Club printings that you can find today in excellent shape; I'm talking about finding a true later printing of those older books that has been well cared for and still looks bright and vibrant
