Stephen King The Stand TRUE 1st Edition (T39) $12.95 DOUBLEDAY

Description: States "First Edition" on the copyright page with appropriate gutter code "T39" between the last and second-to-last numbered . The blurb on the back of the jacket and the title are both centered. (Later printings would change some of these aspects.) The dust jacket has minor tears. The book is in very good shape. It has some yellowing and a bit of foxing along the edges. No dog eared pages. Book Condition: Boards are relatively clean and intact but do have some spotting here and there. The lettering on the spine is slightly dulled as on most copies, with typical wear the text-block is solid and no fraying along the bottom of the cloth spine. This copy is a first edition/first printing of the original novel as published by Doubleday in 1978 in which King edited heavily his draft of around 1200 published pages (probably 2000+ in manuscript) at the behest of Doubleday who felt the price for a book of more than 1200 pages would be prohibitively expensive to most buyers. After circa 1980 when word got out that the book had heavily downsized, readers began inquiring about the missing material. King reinserted the missing material in a new edition published in 1990 called "The Stand Uncut".
