Default Finally!

Yesterday, after years of looking, I finally found a first of Jerzy Kosinski's
"Being There". Fine in a fine dust jacket.


It was a very good day. I also got:

Stephen King, Pet Sematary, first printing in first state dust jacket (fine and vg)

Gunter Grass, Cat and Mouse, 1st US Edition, fine in vg dust jacket.

What are the points for this edition Francis?
Is it a stated 1st?
What is the first state DJ.
Inquiring minds want to know!

Hi Bob:

It's a stated first edition on the copyright page with the date on the title
page (1983) agreeing with the date on the copyright.

The dust jacket first state is indicated by the $15.95 price and the blurb on
the back about the author which mentions "his wife Tabitha (author of the
well-received fantasy novel Small World and, in 1982, of Caretakers)" . And the
year "1982" is an error. It should say "1983". Inner flap bottom of the DJ has
the coded date 1183.

I saw a 2nd state just jacket today. The only difference is the year.
