About this Item

----------13 paperbacks, all Canadian printings. Perhaps of interest to a King collector, the now uncommon first Canadian printings published by Signet Books of 13 of his earlier books. Some number strings on the copyright page start at 1, and that indicates that this is the first Canadian printing, simultaneous with the first US printing, and thus a true first printing. Some other number strings start at 2, and that indicates that this is the first Canadian printing, simultaneous with the first US printing, thus a true first printing, with there being no US printings with the string starting at 2.
