Thinner by Richard Bachman AKA Stephen King

FIRST EDITION • FIRST PRINTING [1984] NAL BOOKS

Rare true 1st Printing of this pseudonym published Stephen King classic with full number line on copyright page and $12.95 price on front panel.

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. 

Dust jacket is clean and vibrant with some visible shelf and edge wear; a few scatches and one tiny sealed tear to upper left.    Crease to unclipped front panel with original jacket price of $12.95.   Now housed in a new HQ brodart jacket protector!

Book itself is beautiful:  Pristine red boards bound tightly in black cloth.  Reads good as new!  *Front endpaper appears to have been torn out [see last photo] with remains still visible against spine on half-title page.  Otherwise excellent. 

Billy Halleck, good husband and loving father, is both beneficiary and victim of the American good life: He has an expensive home, a nice family, and a rewarding career as a lawyer...but he is also fifty pounds overweight and edging into heart attack country.
