Early portions of the book were written when King was only 19. The Gunslinger was first published in 1982 as a limited edition, with its first mass-market publication as a trade paperback in 1988 followed by several re-issues in various formats and in boxed sets with other volumes of the series. In 2003 the book was reissued in modified form, with scenes added and other changes made to resolve inconsistencies with the later books in the series.
