This is a tasty, first printing, signed copy of the Gunslinger. The dust jacket was obtained from Donald Grant and folded onto the book. The book is as close to fine as you can get except for a bit of softening to the heel of the spine and a previous owners faint embossing to the illustrated front endpaper (which is not as obvious as would be on plain white endpaper).
Michael Whelan signed this in 1982, which is the publication date. Also signed by KING in that beautiful vintage style. A beautiful signed copy. More than likely this was signed by Whelan at the eighth annual World fantasy convention in New Haven Connecticut. It’s very likely that King signedthere also.
For sale is a Stunning SIGNED 1st Edition, 1st Printing of Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger, published by Donald M. Grant in 1982.
SLIPCASE: Also included is a beautiful aftermarket The Gunslinger slipcase.
Printed prices of $20.00 & $60.00 on the dust jacket
