In January 2010 I found a first printing of this edition with a sticker affixed to the front cover stating "Receive $200 OFF at the register when you purchase bestselling author Dean Koontz's Odd Hours. Odd is back!" This is the only copy of this sticker I have ever seen. [Pictured below]
Early copies of this edition contained a typographic error in the last sentence of the first page. Later copies were distributed with the error corrected and included a note from the book club.
The error reads “The problem is that a few of my dreams have come have died.” It should read “The problem is that a few of my dreams have come and people have died.” [emphasis added, pictured below]
Page Count: 213 (yes, the pages are numbered backwards.)
Digital read-out chapter numbers printed in red with a unique 6 X 12 inch binding make this a very odd book.
