About This Item
New York: New Amer Library, 1985. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight carefully read copy. This copy has some light tanning/soil to the edges of the text block and the erasure of a price to the ffep else fine. The19.95 priced jacket has some lightish rubbing wear, some edge wear, bit of chipping to the area at the top and heel of the spine. It has been awhile since I have had one of these in stock especially in a First Printing of the First Omnibus Edition, the true hardcover first. Kind of a rare bird. A compilation edition of the first four Bachman Books which were originally published as PBOs with an introduction by King "Why I was Bachman". Damn nice copy with a so-so jacket. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND WILL NORMALLY SHIP NEXT DAY. I do not upload pictures of my books but if it is pictures that you need they are only an email request away. The picture shown with my listing was supplied by the listing website..
Synopsis
The Bachman Books is a collection of short novels by Stephen King published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman between 1977 and 1982. The book was released in 1985 after the publication of the first hardcover Bachman novel Thinner in order to introduce Bachman to fans who did not know about King's work under this pseudonym (little of which was still in circulation at the time).
