Thinner

First UK. 309pp. Hardback in dust jacket. With yellow wraparound band mentioning Stephen King as the author. Age-toning to leaves as usual. Jacket very slightly creased to edges. A near fine copy. *** Soon after the publication of the novel Thinner, author Richard Bachman was ‘exposed’ as Stephen King. A belly band was added to the first edition with Stephen King’s name as the author. It was the last time the author used the pseudonym until 1996. Our copy with the scarce belly band. First printing. Preceded by the American edition.
