Scribner, 2020
First Edition, First impression, Signed Released in the middle of the pandemic with no book signing events, Stephen King signed about 350 copies for the Sarasota 1 Bookstore, all of which we shipped to their customers by mail. This copy includes both the requisite bookstore bookmark which accompanied the book, but also includes the actual sale receipt showing proof of purchase from the Sarasota bookstore. A near fine SIGNED example with a fine condition original jacket. Signed by Stephen King on the title page “Stephen King” All first edition points present including the requisite First Edition statement on the copyright page, and the full number line. A fresh, clean, unread copy.
The book is in beautiful near fine condition with brown paper and black quarter cloth boards. The boards have sharp corners, with but two very tiny tip bumps, and no edgewear. The binding is very tight still snapping shut when opened and the book appears as unread. Strong unfaded vibrant copper titles to the spine. Signed by Stephen King on the title page “Stephen King”. The interior of the book is in crisp clean condition with bright flat crisp pages. This copy is accompanied by both the bookstore bookmark and the original invoice sales receipt identifying the book by title, the bookstore, the date, and the price including the cost to ship.
The stunning original unrestored dust jacket is in beautiful fine condition. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of $30.00.
An exemplary copy in outstanding collectible condition, with a fresh, crisp interior. Would make a wonderful special gift for a Stephen King collector.
