I have discussed other covers for specific books but I always have an interest in UK V US covers and thought a thread just for covers in general would be good

Is this the UK 1st edition cover for Misery?

Found it yesterday! Can always find lots of info on US 1st editions but not so much on the UK ones.

I have this copy too, didn't know it was a first UK edition. I used to have a paperback copy but my mum saw this in my local free to take or swap library and didn't know if I had it so took it for me. So i donated my old one to the same place, and a few days later my sister saw it and picked it up for me in case I didn't have a copy. :facepalm:

This sort of thing always happens to me haha! Yeah, always check the numbers and year on the copyright page, but this is the first edition cover :)
