The difference in page numbers has to do with the size of the book and the font choice, not the actual text of the novel.Also noticed that the uncut (1990) version of the Stand is somewhere around 1152 pages. The version I bought is 1439 pages. Is this the same as the 1990 version?
I suppose I'll start the book, just really hope it isn't ruined. I was so upset after reading that back cover and getting so invested.
