Suppressed Rage in Hardcover
The Bachman Books: Rage; The Long Walk; Roadwork; The Running Man
Publication: New York: New American Library / NAL, 1985. First Edition.
Notes: The only hardcover appearance of King's controversial novel Rage, now permanently withdrawn from print.
This crucial omnibus collects four novels published under King's Richard Bachman pseudonym, featuring two elements never reprinted: the original version of his essay "Why I Was Bachman" and the complete text of Rage. After several school shooters cited Rage as an influence, King allowed it to go out of print permanently.

Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing with a number line ending in 1 and a dust jacket priced at $19.95). A fine copy in a dust jacket with some shallow chipping at the top of the spine and a tiny spot on the copper lettering on the cover. A nice copy.
