Demand for the limited edition far exceeded supply and was sold thru a hand-pick list of specialty booksellers. The limited edition was carefully allocated, although Waldenbooks reportedly recieved a disproportionate number of them.

Legends (1998) is a collection of "short novels" by a number of noteworthy fantasy authors, edited by Robert Silverberg. All the stories were original to the collection, and set in the authors' established fictional worlds. King's contribution was an original Dark Tower story "The LIttle Sisters of Eluia" which, predicibly it is not only the lead story but King's name is first on the dustjacket of the trade edition as well.
