How to identify this edition

These points tell this edition apart from other printings and editions of Salems Lot.

✓ Copyright page: “First Edition” stated, under “Printed in the United States of America”

✓ Page 439: the code Q37 printed in the gutter (inner margin) of the last page

✓ Binding: red paper-covered boards, black cloth spine lettered in gilt

✓ Price: $8.95 at the top of the front flap (first-state jacket); first printings also come in jackets price-clipped and overprinted $7.95, or printed $7.95. The $8.95 jacket also turns up on early reprints, so the price alone doesn't prove a first

✓ Dust jacket: front flap names “Father Cody” in the first two jacket states, “Father Callahan” in the third
