First Edition/First Printing with no mention of subsequent printings. A near fine book in a near fine dust jacket. This volume is clean and bright with a tight binding, bright spine lettering, and clean white pages; the book does show some light rubbing to the boards and a few faint soiled spots to the text block; housed in a crisp, clean, and bright dust jacket that shows some mild rubbing and light chipping to the spine ends and an inconspicuous dampstain to the lower front panel (visible on the verso). Not remaindered, not price clipped (6.50 price intact), not ex-lib. This is a classic story by one of the masters of 20th century horror fiction which is very difficult to find in fine condition, particularly signed; a must for the Matheson fan or the horror collector! Protected in a mylar cover.
