Stephen King and Peter Straub – The Talisman – First US Edition 1984 – With SIGNED Promotional Photograph

First edition, first printing published by Viking in New York in 1984. A very good book without inscriptions, in a very good unclipped dust wrapper with a little rubbing to the extremities.

Accompanied by an original black-and-white promotional photograph of Stephen King and Peter Straub, boldly SIGNED by King and dated ‘2/3/85’, without dedication. The photograph bears the printed publication announcement for ‘The Talisman’ beneath the image and the photographer’s credit, ©1984 Andrew Unangst. Supplied unframed. The signature is on the accompanying photograph; the book itself is unsigned.

King and Straub’s first novel together follows twelve-year-old Jack Sawyer’s journey through America and the parallel world of the Territories. An attractive pairing of the first US edition and a signed photograph produced to promote its publication.
