I have read that there are 3 different timelines in The Stand; 1980, 1985 & 1990. Is this true?

I have the 1980 & 1990 timeline versions, original and complete & uncut. But my question is when did the 1985 timeline get published, and which edition can I find it in please?

The 1978 hardcover edition had the timeline of 1980. I believe it was changed to 1985 for the first paperback edition.

ive only read the 1980 and 1990 timelines. the only one i reread is the 1980 timeline.

That's strange. My paperback (ISBN 9780450045523, NEL, 1990) has the 1980 timeline. Book 1, Captain Trips, 16 June - 4 July 1980.

Do you have details of the 1st paperback please?

The 1980 paperback edition had the 1985 time apparently. At some point it was changed back.

In wizard and glass (DR#3), the katet travels back to Captain Tripps ravaged Topeka in 1986.

Ah I see, didn't realise that. Thank you.

Do you know if there are any other differences between the 1980 timeline and the 1985 timeline, or is it just the dates that have been changed?

I don't know of any other references to timelines of The Stand. There probably are, but I cant remember anymore.
