Is the novel rage still in the bachman books?

[SKfan]

I am aware that the novel rage which king wrote under the name richard bachman was taken out of print due to high school shootings and was apparently taken out of the bachman books aswell but everywhere I check on amazon and such it appears that the reprints in the 21st century have this novel yet it is meant to be out of print can somebody tell me if it is actually still avaidable in the bachman books?

No (in the UK, at least).

By chance I had the current edition[#] of "The Bachman Books" delivered last week... In the foreward "Why I was Richard Bachman", SK lists 13 reason. Within number one he lists the original 5 titles he had published as RB, starting with "Rage" (1977). There's a footnote against "Rage"..."Now out of print, and a good thing."

# - Effectively a 1986 imprint

However, places like Amazon still sell earlier editions which DO include it.

E.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bachman-Books-Rage-Roadwork-Running/dp/0451147367/

Edit: after checking, these are "used" editions.

I think he took it out because of the Columbine incident. Just look in used book stores you should find it there.
