Hello,
Looking for some help to properly identify a copy of Thinner that I found recently.
I believe that this is a first edition, however, a lot of the information that should be there, is not. The dust jacket lacks a price and an code number; The copyright page lacks Library of Congress information; Missing the "First Printing, November, 1984" and code "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9" printed on copyright page.
What is also interesting is that the book only has 282 pages, which is the same page count as the UK release (which doesn't come out until, I believe, 1988), and NOT the 308 that usually accompanies the US version.
I have attached a few photos here in case someone might want to take a look.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
