darktower.net said:In preperation for the release of Wolves of the Calla, King rewrote The Gunslinger and published a "revised" edition in June of 2003. King wrote a wonderful forward (titled "On Being Nineteen") for the new edition which explains why he rewrote it. To paraphrase: He felt that because The Gunslinger was written such a long time before the other six volumes, it had a different feel to it and didn't quite "flow" with the other books. Also, the original edition wasn't quite reader-friendly enough. Many first time Tower readers became discouraged while reading The Gunslinger and never made it past the first book. The revised novel is a lot more open to new readers.
Yup. Same goes for the 3rd. But like Halo said, there's a "story thus far" thing in the beginning of some (all?) editions.Throughtout the second book there are a lot of references to events from the first
