CARRIE

First UK edition, first printing of Stephen King's first novel. Publisher's original purple cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Ray Feibush illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the spine tips, the cloth and gilt, bright and fresh. The contents are somewhat toned and spotted due to the pulp quality paper used in production and there is a previous owner's name in blue ink on the front endpaper. Complete with the original dustwrapper that is a little rubbed and with a short closed tear at the corners, and ever so slightly faded to the spine. Not price-clipped (£2.50 net to the lower front flap).

The author's debut novel, of which fewer than 1000 copies of the first British edition were printed. The basis for the 1976 Brian De Palma directed film starring Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.
