- I heard this from my local book shop (A specialty
- Science-Fiction/Mystery bookshop) that has been very reliable in their
- information in the past. They claimed to have heard this directly
- from Donald M. Grant, so.....

- Yes, but fan demand in the sense of it had always been listed in the
- "BY STEPHEN KING" pages of his books, but never available. There was

- mystery when they published the first two.

- Please check on that one.....
- I'm meaning to write Mr. Grant and Mr. King asking about this one
- myself, and I'd love to hear the story behind this one...
