Hundreds of books, collectibles and antiques; you're sure to find that special item you've been wanting. THIS ITEM'S SPECIFICS: 1st edition/1st printing, Phantasia Press, 1980. Firestarter was Stephen King's first signed limited edition and, though beautifully constructed, it was not as well protected as many of his later signed limited editions, being housed in an open sided slipcase and also having a dustjacket which many times got considerable wear from sliding in and out of the slipcase. Consequently, few have survived in excellent condition. This is # 311 of 725 only copies, SIGNED and dated: 'Stephen King, July 6, 1980' (the 2nd of the 4 days that it took King to sign these limited editions). The book is bound in dark blue leather (or leatherette?) boards with gilt printing and is fine: straight, clean and tight with no damage or soiling, and no handwriting other than the author's on the limitation page at the back of the text. The dustjacket is also fine: price intact ($35.00), clean, crisp and bright with Whelan's famous artwork in unfaded condition and with no damage or wear. It has been protected by a removable, clear mylar cover. The leather-textured paper-covered boards slipcase is also in fine condition, with no tears, soiling or damage, though there are a couple of tiny surface indentations on one side (like something sat on it for a while). Especially important because it 'is' the first of King's signed limited editions. Made into a movie in 1984. Charlie, born after her parents participated in a government controlled drug experiment, can start fires with her mind alone, and The Shop wants her as a weapon.
