First Printing of the First Dark Tower Book

The Gunslinger [The Dark Tower, Book 1]

King, Stephen

Publication: West Kingston, RI: Donald M. Grant, 1982. First Edition.

Notes: The first edition of the first book in the perennially popular series, in a very good to near fine example of the correct dust jacket ($20 / $60 price). Stephen King revised the novel in 2003; these early Grant editions are the only way to get the original text.

Illustrated by Michael Whelan with five full-page color plates.

[1–10] 11–224 pages. Bound in maroon cloth.

Edition + Condition: First edition (stated) in the correct first printing dust jacket with both the trade ($20) and limited edition ($60) prices on the front flap. The book is near fine; the jacket has some wear at the spine ends, as usual with this title (the jacket is printed on thin paper that wears easily). This copy is housed in an after-market slipcase with the title on the spine.
