Less than Perfect but Attractively Priced
Night Shift
Publication: New York: Doubleday, 1977. First Edition.
Notes: A collection of King's early stories, most from Cavalier magazine; dampstained and priced accordingly.
The stories in Night Shift have proven remarkably fertile ground for film adaptations, spawning at least six Hollywood productions including Children of the Corn, Cat's Eye, and most recently, The Boogeyman. This collection brought together King's magazine work, which had helped support his family before Carrie's success. Mystery novelist John D. MacDonald supplied the introduction.
Edition + Condition: First edition (stated). This copy, like all stated first editions, has the code S52 on page 336. Good copy with one-inch radius dampstain visible on rear endpapers. Dust jacket very good with some edge tears, correctly priced at $8.95.
