Doubleday, 1983-10-01. 1st Ed. hardcover. Very Good/Good. 1x1x1. Signed. 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.
