The paperback is the true first edition of this, the fifth and final Leigh
Nichols title, and is fairly easy to locate. The trade,
numbered and lettered editions contain the complete text as Koontz intended it
to be published. The trade edition hardcover and the numbered have identical
dustjackets; the difference being that the numbered edition was issued with a
slipcase and a different binding, including a signed limitation page. The
lettered edition came with a wooden traycase and was issued without a
dustjacket. Both the trade edition and the numbered edition are fairly difficult
to locate, and the lettered is even harder to find. The price of the trade
edition is usually reasonable but the price for the numbered is to the higher
end of the casual collector's range. As for the lettered edition, expect to pay
even more. A revised paperback edition was published under Koontz's name by
Berkley in 1993.
You have the paperback first edition if it states "First Avon Printing: February 1987" and has the number series "K-R 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1" printed on the copyright page.
