About This Item
New York: HarperPrism, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Good/good. Hardcover 1st in jacket, signed by Dean Koontz on the half title page in blue ink - no inscription. A good only copy with heavy bumping to the spine ends and lower corners. A loose crease to all beginning pages up to page 27, as if the book had been dropped, but no tearing or lack of readability. Binding is solid, though lacking in tightness and the pages are clean and unmarked other than Koontz' signature. Unclipped dustjacket has matching bumps and chips at the upper front corner and spine heel. 508 pp., indexed, with some b/w photos at center. Ramsland, best known for her biographical materials of Anne Rice, takes a crack at another horror legend.
