First Edition. Second issue, without "Permissions to Come" below number line on copyright page. A spaceship is found in the forest where it has been buried for millions of years but it is still vibrating faintly. Gift inscription on front endpaper, else fine in fine dustjacket with usual tarnishing to King's name on front panel.

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!
