I'm always on the lookout for an original HB of The Stand. I have a BCE HB now, but would like to eventually have the normal-sized book. GREAT find, Lin!
Same here-- got my BCE at a goodwill for a dollar. The dust jacket has definitely seen better days. I'd like to find a normal-sized edition but have never seen one anywhere.

The "normal-sized" edition of the original Stand is the same size at the BCE. The Stand was not issued in a larger size until The Revised Edition was done in 1990.

Thank you, John! I had no idea. I'd just assumed mine was BCE because of the size--now I have to take another look!

What do you know--it's not a BCE. Wrong # on pg 823 to make it a first edition (T45 vs. T39), but it's nice to know :) Thanks again, John. Now I need to take another look at the book I assumed was another BCE at one of our secondhand book stores... :)

Glad I could help. Good luck on finding others!
