First Edition. First issue, with "Permissions to Come" below number row 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. Fine in near fine dustjacket with some of the usual tarnishing to metallic letters 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 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!

The Tommyknockers is a 1987 science fiction novel by Stephen King. While maintaining a horror style, the novel is an excursion into the realm of science fiction for King, as the residents of the Maine town of Haven gradually fall under the influence of a mysterious object buried in the woods. King has since soured on The Tommyknockers, describing it as "an awful book", due to his drug addiction while writing the novel, though acknowledges the story's potential: "There's really a good book in here, underneath all the sort of spurious energy that cocaine provides, and I ought to go back." A miniseries adaptation of the same name was released in 1993.
A square solid tight clean very carefully read copy. Red metalized lettering with no tarnish and light creasing in the spine area. Very nice copy. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND NORMALLY SHIPS NEXT DAY. Permissions to come.
