E Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Putnam Pub Group, 1987. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/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. 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 red, though it should be noted that both the red and the gold versions are equally desirable. Aside from a bit of foxing and soiling to the textblock edges (including a bit of blue dye to the foreedge), 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. Corners are square, and the boards are clean, flat, and true with very little wear. Dust jacket is not price-clipped but does have some scuffing and edge wear, including a 1/4" tear to the lower edge of the front cover. The lettering in the author's name on the front cover, which can be quite worn on these books, is rubbed but only on six out of the eleven letters. This highly collectible, very good/very good, first edition/first printing copy is protected with an archival mylar dust jacket cover. A great price for a classic King novel! Satisfaction guaranteed!
