The original unrestored dust jacket presents in near fine condition. The jacket has strong, vibrant colors with but a bit of tiny nicks to the top and bottom of the spine, else no nicks, no chips, no edgewear, no rips, no stains and no fading. The dust jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of $22.95. A lovely condition dust jacket.
A very handsome example of this scarce signed title in highly collectible condition. This title is exceedingly scarce to locate signed. We imagine that its sheer size and weight made it difficult to lug about to signing events, and now Stephen King does not sign his older books. **Please inquire for international shipping costs**
