Stephen King – The Stand – First US Edition 1979
£1,200.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Stand’ published by Doubleday in 1978. A very good book without inscriptions. In a very good unclipped wrapper with wear to the corners and to the spine tips and a small internal repair to the bottom edge. The author’s fifth novel of 70,000 copies, identifiable by the ‘First Edition’ statement on the copyright page and ‘T39’ printing code to the bottom gutter of page 823.
A post-apocalyptic epic where a deadly virus wipes out most of humanity. Survivors are drawn to two opposing figures: the benevolent Mother Abagail and the evil Randall Flagg. As society rebuilds, a final battle between good and evil unfolds. Blending horror, fantasy, and social commentary, King explores human nature, morality, and resilience. ‘The Stand’ is a gripping tale of survival, faith, and the choices that define the future of civilisation.
