KING, STEPHEN. The Stand.

Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1978. First edition, first printing with “First Edition” statement on the copyright page and the correct “T39” gutter code at page 823. Octavo. Original publisher’s black cloth spine lettered in gilt over tan paper-covered boards. In the original unclipped dust jacket priced $12.95. Owner bookplate on the front pastedown; old glue stains to both pastedowns from a previous owner having once affixed the jacket to the boards.
