Can anyone help me in identifying a first edition/first printing of this book. I have two that are different and one is signed and need to be sure it is a first/first.
Thank you for any help..Tom

By the way- this book is one of the best books of Don Robertson's. I lived down in that area of Texas for about a year and know exactly where those places are that he describes in the book. I also have met people like the characters he's uses in the book. I love Robertson's novels! He was an excellent writer and a huge influence on Stephen King.
That is the copy I have signed by SK and DR. I just need to know price on dust cover and color of end boards on a first/ first. Mine is not a limited edition but a trade copy..
How can I get a picture on here...
...this one?......BTW, welcome!!......
I'm pretty sure there was only one printing, so all copies that look like that should be first editions
...If your posting a photo, just click on "upload a file" and choose your pic....might have to edit for size.....

There was the unsigned Philtrum Press edition which uses a much better grade of paper than the edition that was available in the regular book stores. My Philtrum trade has the 'Limited edition: $25' and below that 'Signed Edition: $50' on the inside front flap of the dust jacket. The inside front and end board color is beige and the outside cloth color is a brownish-green color. The paper used is quite thick, enough so that if you run your finger over the letters you can feel the indentations. There was a version that was published (and available at regular outlets) but I can't remember who the publisher was. It wasn't Philtrum Press.
I never heard of this book before. I better see if I can find a copy.
Linda- if you find copies make sure you get the original one published by Steve's own Philtrum Press, not the one that was printed up to sell in the 'big box' stores. You are a book lover and you will appreciate the nicer edition.
If you've never read any Don Robertson before let me know what you think of his writing. He's one of my favorites! You can definitely see the influence he had on Steve when he was a young kid reading those Robertson paperbacks.
I never have read any of his work. Will let you know.
I have a signed first printing and a second printing that I will sell. I am on face book...tom northrop
