Stephen King "Carrie" Special Edition Hard Coverwith Dust Jacket Illustrated by Jim PhiesenFirst published in 1974, I believe this edition was reissued by Doubleday in 1990. According to the numbers, this appears to be the 14th printing.NOTE: As a little extra related to "Carrie," I am also including a copy of the 2011 Reader's Digest with an article, written by Stephen King, about his sale of Carrie to the publisher and how it impacted his life. It's a touching read. (See last two photos.) PLEASE READ: The book is in excellent, clean condition, but there is a tear on the spine of the dust jacket, which has been taped (please see photos), and a little shelf wear along its edges. The book boards are clean. and the spine is tight and square. There are no torn pages, marks, or writings within the book. Even with the tear in the dust jacket, this is still a rare and hard to find edition.Thank You for Stopping By! CONDITION: Please peruse pictures carefully, as they are part of the description.
