THE SHINING by Stephen King
1st Trade Hardcover Edition ~ 1st Printing
Published by Doubleday in 1977
Printing code "R49" appears in the gutter of page 447, indicating a true first printing
This copy is MUCH nicer than most. It is square, solid, and very tight, with a beautiful, unblemished spine. The only significant flaw is purple remainder spray to the text block head (see photo). This is not foxing or mold or spotting, it was a spray added to the book by the publisher to indicate an unsold copy. Other than very minor overall shelf wear, the book is in about near fine condition.
The jacket is unclipped, bearing the original publisher's price of $8.95. It is protected in a mylar sleeve. Other than minor evidence of general shelfwear, it is also in about near fine condition. Please see photos of some wear to the spine heel.
A very solid, presentable copy overall.
Mint condition copies of The Shining sell for close to $1,000 or more. Due to the remainder spray, I am marking this copy down significantly. It is still much nicer than 98% of the copies you'll find on eBay! Grab it now!
This is neither an ex-library copy nor a Book Club Edition.
