New York, NY: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1987. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good+. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The chance discovery of a ship buried underground for millions of years transforms the inhabitants of a New England town into one evil, homicidal entity. First edition, second state, with a full 1 through 10 number line but without the "permissions to come" statement printed beneath as a true first printing would have. This copy features the author's name in red, though it should be noted that both the red and the gold versions are equally desirable. The book itself appears unread and is exceptionally clean with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Not an ex-library copy. Spine is tight and crisp. Corners are square, and the boards are flat and true with virtually no wear at all. Dust jacket is not price-clipped but does have some moderate wear including some scuffing, scratching, some small creases, and some bumping to the corners but no real tears. Also the flaps are moderately browned. The lettering on the front cover, which can be quite worn on these books, is only very, very lightly rubbed in about half of the letters. A great-looking second state for a great price! This collectible, fine/very good+, copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. Satisfaction guaranteed!
