Flat signed by the author to the title page. Accompanied by a photograph of King at a book signing event, at Borders Books and Music, Oxford Street, London on 22 August 1998 - attendees can be seen carrying Borders bookshop bags with copies of the book displayed behind the author and on the signing table. King can be seen signing the current copy. Borders price sticker to the back panel of the dust jacket further confirms this provenance. Due to his immense popularity, the increasing value of signed items and King's refusal to sign books mailed in to him, his signature is often forged - the current copy, then, is particularly desirable with unusually good provenance confirming the authenticity of the signature.
Very Good -
Some tide marks to the head and tail of the lower board, jacket verso and front panel recto, mild rippling to the final 15 leaves, light shelfwear, minor chips to the foot of the spine. A touch of foxing to the prelims and edges. Binding tight and square. Overall handsome and desirable despite some minor faults.
