I have 2 copies of this book, both hardcover. One has "The Talisman" written at the top of the spine in more block like letters, the other has "The Talisman" written is script like lettering down the top half of the spine. Which was published first? I recently found the script lettering copy and bought it to use the dust jacket on my original, better copy that had none. Were the dust jackets different for these different editions? Thanks in advance.

There's two hardcovers I can think of off the top of my head. The original and the reissue for when Black House was published.

Thanks, based on the publication date I realized that I have an original and the reissue hardcover from when Black House was released (pictured above). The lettering on the spine under the dust jacket is different and that threw me off.
