How to Become King by Jan Terlouw   [KATOREN #1]

U.S. FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING [1977] HASTINGS HOUSE

Mega Rare first edition!  *DAMAGED - See Description / Photos

Hardcover with dust jacket.  Ex-library copy w/ stamps, water damage and a few torn pages.   Dust jacket is beautiful and like new w/ small sticker on spine.   Price clipped front panel.

Book itself is poor; boards are clean and binding is tight but tape-mark ghosting is visible on front and back.  Interior pages have water damage; rippling to pages.  Also at least two to three pages are torn [see photos].    Not a great reading copy but  cool for collectors.

Seventeen years after the king of Katoren dies, a boy aspires to win the crown and is tested with seven impossible tasks by six Ministers.
