- Second State - The $8.95 is clipped off and a price of $7.95 is printed on instead. Father Cody is referred to instead of Father Callahan Current value = $700 - $900
- Third State - The revised flap shows an unclipped price of $7.95 and the correct Father Callahan is printed. Current value = $200 - $350
The title King originally chose was Second Coming, but he later decided on Jerusalem’s Lot. The publishers, Doubleday, shortened it to the current title, thinking the author's choice sounded too religious.
