The Shining King, Stephen Mystery-Thriller-Suspense-Horror

King's stunning third book (far superior to the movie, which he hated), with a nearly pristine original issue DJ illustrated by Dave Christensen. Same design as on the First Edition, but this is a Book Club Edition, slightly larger (6.25" x 9.5"), in 447 pages. Tan paper over quarter black cloth-covered boards, lettered in bright gilt to spine, is in Near Fine condition, marred only by light soil & dust dulling to external page surfaces. Else, clean & crisp, pages creamy white & completely unmarked EXCEPT for this writing: looks like someone attempted to forge King's signature on the half-title page: based on our professional experience, it just looks & feels & smells wrong. The unclipped (no price) DJ VG+, with extremely slight edgewear, including some light crazing/wrinkling at both ends of spine & vertically along back cover-spine interface around midway; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover free! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
