Doubleday and Company, 1978
First Edition, First impression Near fine book with a Near Fine dust jacket.
The book is in beautiful near fine condition with mustard paper and black quarter cloth boards. Beautiful strong gilt titles to the spine. The boards are unusually clean for this title with vibrant mustard colored paper and black cloth. The book has sharp corners and no edgewear with but a very tiny corner rub to spine corner tip. The binding is tight and square. The end papers have no owner names, and no inscriptions but are a bit wavy with slight ghosting from the removal of a bookplate. The interior of the book is in beautiful clean, crisp condition with no marks, no foxing, no stains and no age toning to the pages.
The original dust jacket benefited from very slight restoration to the outer spine tips and presents in near fine condition. The dust jacket has vibrant colors with no nicking, no chips, no edgewear, no rips, no stains and no fading. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of $12.95. Please see images for more details
A very handsome example of this scarce title. Scarce early signed and inscribed copy. Would make a wonderful special gift for a Stephen King collector.
