A square solid tightclean very carefully used copy. The 15.95 original jacket has always been a weak point to this title because it was produced with no lamination. It is what it is, chipping at the top and heel of the spine, some rubbing wear, some soil to the rear panel, stress to all folds, several short tears. 1982 mistake on the first state jacket. Basis for both movies, Hard to find a first printing this nice. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY This copy will include a shrink wrapped copy of the original movie in DVD format. The book displayed with my listing is not my copy. Pictures upon request.

Size: 1x1x1; FIRST EDITION SIGNED BY STEPHEN KING and professionally authenticated by James Spence Authenticators (JSA); includes their ironclad full Letter of Authentricity (sticker on LOA, not in the book). NOT personalized to anyone. "First Edition" stated on copyright page; gutter code begins "Y" but other numbers are obscured by adjacent page. I've graded the book as very good: clean bright text (possibly unread), very good corners with only mild wear on the hardcover boards. Dust jacket is first state with "1982 Caretakers" on rear. Price is intact on the dust jacket and the cover image remains appealing but there is the usual chipping and creasing along the extremities (see photo). Still looks attractive with the addition of a new mylar cover. Authenticated Stephen King books are extremely scarce, mine seem to be the only ones available anywhere. Expedited and international shipping are welcome; signed by author.
