Have you read the Gunslinger?What extra 30 pages of whatever does the Revised extended edition of Dark Tower have anyway?
...see Spidey’s post above....Yes I've read only the original version of Dark Tower 1.
Recently this year months ago I bought the hardcover of the series and the hardcover of Dark Tower 1 is the newer "revised" extended version but haven't had time to read it.
So what exactly is "new" in it?

While I liked the revisions, I still have a for-special place in my heart for the original version.Most of the revisions make the original printing sound better to me lol.Changing Allie to Walter's insane victim is like making Han Solo shoot second. So what if Roland was a mean bastard? He learned to love again after the gathering of his new ka-tet, and especially after he redeemed himself with Jake. I'm not the author so I can only criticize so much but that change kinda sucked.
Also, reading The Gunslinger almost 20 years ago for the first time, I have a memory of a scene that didn't show in my recent read-through. Perhaps I missed it, and it's certainly not an important detail and I could be mixing it up with The Talisman because I read that (and The Stand) around the same time. There's a scene where Roland is dehydrated and close to fading. He finds water but forces himself to sip it, knowing that if he gulps it down his body will refuse it and it will all be regurgitated. Was that The Gunslinger? I can't even remember anymore.
I totally agree.While I liked the revisions, I still have a for-special place in my heart for the original version.
