    Default 1st Edition of Duma Key

    Hi everyone:

    I'm hoping there is someone here who can help me with this. I bought what I thought was a 1st edition of Duma Key off of eBay. Now I did my research and wrote down the information which is given on the PDF that's on the FAQ.

    I get the book today and these are the numbers that are listed:

    ISBN-13:978-1-4165-5251-2
    ISBN-10: 1-4165-5251-0

    There are no other numbers listed on the copyright page other than the date (2008).

    I was going to have Stephen autograph it and give it as a gift. Is this in fact a first edition or was I taken? YAY, I was able to up load a pic of the copyright page!

    Thanks everyone!

    This is what the copyright page should look like for the first edition. As you can see, there is a string of numbers above the ISBN area beginning with the number "1" which identifies it as a first edition.

    Also, Steve only autographs books at book signings these days.

    Ms. Mod, I have a question about that for you......Is there more than 1 first edition? I think it just sounds funny to say there are 2 kinds of first editions! Anyway, my copy of Under the Dome has a copyright page that does have the string of numbers with the one, but there are other things that are different from the pic you posted. Just the year for one. Got any answers?

    Nope, I'm the one that messed up. I scanned the page from Duma Key but for some reason saved it as UTD. Trying to do 2 things at once didn't work so well that time.

    Oh don't be so hard on yourself-at least you aren't working in bomb disposal...

    I get so aggravated at eBay and the other sites that try to pass off 1st editions. Some of it (I think) is probably not intentional. There are enough odd cases that people don't realize there are multiple 1st editions. You really have to do your research to make sure you are paying for what you think you are paying for.
