It looks to me as if the quadrille grid may have been omitted in later printings as a cost saving, and this may be bourne out by the darker (more solid) printing of my copy without the quadrille grid.With Grid (1st print), without grid (2nd print)? I'd be interested to see what other people have in their copies of Dark Tower (and of course the thoughts of the two resident JG gurus).

How have you confirmed the print sequence?

Good luck at trying to establish a print sequence. There seems to be no difference between the text, and with four possible 1st DTs, the ink saving theory doesn't seem to hold up.
