U.S.A.: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1987. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. A fine copy in a very good plus unclipped dustjacket. First edition first printing with "Permissions to Come" and a full numberline. A tight and clean unmarked unread copy. The dustjacket is unclipped and has just light rubbing from shelfwear--mostly due to the black background--a very nice copy.
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. Aside from some browning to the pages and textblock edges, this is a very clean copy 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 minimal wear. Dust jacket is unfortunately price-clipped and has a 1" tear with associated creasing in the back cover that is mirrored in the rear jacket flap. The jacket also has some scratching on the back cover, some browning to the flaps, and some bumping to the corners but otherwise shows only minor edge wear/scuffing. The red lettering on the front cover, which can be quite worn on these books, is in beautiful condition with only very slight rubbing to the letter "S." This collectible, very good+/very good, first edition/second printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. Satisfaction guaranteed!
First Edition. Second issue, without "Permissions to Come" below number line on copyright page.

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. This is a true first printing with the phrase "Permissions to Come" printed beneath a correct full number line sequence. This copy features the author's name in gold, though it should be noted that both the red and the gold versions are equally desirable. Save for some very light soiling to the textblock edges, this is a clean copy with no writing, marks, underlining, or bookplates. No remainder marks. Not an ex-library copy. Spine is tight and crisp, though the binding is visible along the gutter of the title page. Corners are square, and the boards are flat and true, though they do show some bumping/edge wear. Pages 33 through 64 are moderately browned and stand out from the rest of the textblock, which is generally much brighter. Dust jacket is price-clipped and also has some scuffing, edge wear, and browning to the flaps and inside edges. The lettering on the front cover, which can be quite worn on these books, is slightly rubbed but consistent throughout the author's name. This collectible, very good/very good, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. A great price for a true first of this classic King novel! Satisfaction guaranteed!
