This is the First Plume Printing (November 1990). Books are in very good vintage condition with clean pages and solid bindings. The slipcase shows minor shelf wear consistent with age but remains sturdy. Perfect for collectors of vintage Rice or dark fantasy/romance." Collector Note: "First Edition" Clarification While these are First Plume Printings (the first time they were issued in this specific trade paperback format), they are not the "True First Editions". The true first editions were published in hardcover in the early 1980s (1983-1985). The 1990 Plume set is still highly collectible among Anne Rice fans due to the iconic cover art and its status as the first high-quality trade paperback release.
