Dancing The Dream 1st edition question

[MJalen]

I finally got my 1st edition of Dancing The Dream, but something seems different.
Everything is the same like other 1st editions, but the cover of the book is completely black instead of half black, half red with golden signature.

Do you have the same version or any useful information? Thanks.

My 1st edition copy is also fully black.

My 1st edition copy is also fully black.

You made my day. I'm not alone in this. LOL

 

[andy75]

My copy (first edition) is also all black.

 

[MJalen]

What if only US first edition has half black, half red cover?

Does anybody have US 1st edition with the black cover?

I think you are right... I bought mine the week it was released, and it says my all black version is printed in Germany for the UK, so maybe the first US edition has the red/black cover?

I think you are right too...I have the 1st ed published by Doubleday in New York, priced in Canadian and USD on the paper cover (on the inside fold) and the hard cover is half black- half red, with the signature.

Haha no problem

Fascinating...we're comparing out first editions, kinda makes my day.

I have a bilingual First Edition (German and English) and I seem to recall it being all black. (I don't have it with me unfortunately) How many bilingual First Editions are there???

Mine is US first edition with Black & Red Cover. The same with Moonwalk.

Mine is all black and it is the british first edition.

 

[soulmum]

UK bought, all black.

I think the US Red and Black cover version is rarer, and more expensive as a result. Eitherways, the value of the book has dropped somewhat. I've seen them go for as little as $25-30 (black cover version especially) on ebay in the past few months

I live in the US and got mine when it first came out and the cover is half red-half black with Michael's gold signature. I didn't know there were different versions, that's interesting.

 

[roomdownstairs]

I've got the UK version, mine is all black too.

Yep, me too Nina. Never knew about different versions of the first editions.

 

[bubbyduck4MJ]

Mine is all black too I didn't even notice that myself haha.

 

[jay_bee]

My first edition copy has the black and red cover. It seems to be the US edition. I've had it so long now, I don't even remember where I got it.

This says its the 92 edition, but it has a different cover to what I thought is the original.

Is this a reprint does any one know?

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure this is the reprint. Amazon UK mentions the 1992 date too, allthough the one they sell is a reprint too.

Mine is US first edition with Black & Red Cover. The same with Moonwalk.

[paisleyCUTtop]

[johnlomas2012]

[Sunflowers]

Mine is US first edition with Black & Red Cover. The same with Moonwalk.

I have both of those as well. Wasn't there a difference between first edition and first print? I remember reading something about it but can't quit recall it.

Mine are both US editions from Doubleday.

My version of Dancing the Dream has the black cover on it & I was totally surprised to have gotten it as well, because my stepdad had actually BID on Ebay for it, I got just 2 days after christmas back in 2011, & was only having to pay $50 which seemed like a pretty good deal & I have to say, it's truly an AMAZING book with all the beautiful poems, not to mention STUNNING photographs of Michael! I love it & I'm thrilled to have the first edition of "DTD"

 

[MjsLovelyOne88]

Can anyone give me a link where Moonwalk or DTD are being sold for a good price? I just searched on eBay and Moonwalk doesn't seem to show up, Dancing the Dream only appears on expensive biddings :sigh: thanks in advance.
