I bought this at the Omaha Public Library book sale last week. It doesn't have any library markings.
From the back of the book:
Here are twenty superlative stories devilishly designed by Stephen King to take you where you never dreamed of going before. Included, too, are a telescript that made home screen history, a startling poem, and an essay that Stephen King regards as his best nonfiction writing.
These versatile selections vary widely in style and subject matter and vidily display the full range of Stephen King's matchless imagination. And to add to his readers' pleasure and curiosity, King includes his own entrancing inside accounts of how the stories came into being and why.
Stephen King calls this extraordinary retrospective Nightmares & Dreamscapes. But don't let his title fool you. When you read it, sleep will be the furthest thing from your mind.

Notes
A couple of notable things about this book:
1) The essay "Head Down" was included in the compilation book "The Best American Sports Writing, 1991. It deserves to be there - it wasn't included just for the author's name.
2) When I joined Bookcrossing this is one of the first books I wanted to register so I could send it out to the poor miserable people who haven't had a chance to read the stories. I couldn't find it! Apparently I lost my old copy at some point. Very depressing moment.
3) When I was typing the table of contents I recognized and remembered about 80% of the stories even though it's been a year or two since I read them. "The Moving Finger" in particular has stuck with me... I still don't like using sinks that don't have a cover on the drain. :) "Popsy", "The Night Flier", "The Ten O'Clock People, "Rainy Season", "Chattery Teeth", "Suffer the Little Children", and "You Know They Got a Hell of a Band" are great stories. "Sorry Right Number" is creepy as hell. All of the stories are good, but those ones left deep impressions.
