  • Used

  • first
First lettered limited edition, A Fine unread book, without a dust jacket as issued; in a Fine drop-lid tray case that has a window of glass to display the art deco cover design, that is done in colored leather inlays. Book is bound in full, black leather. Note that the book has slightly tan pages used in its second half, which is the text of the "cursed" book. The first half of the book is Koontz's background story of how all this came to be. Briefly, Koontz often quoted from The Book of Counted Sorrows, a volume of dark poetry. However, such a book did not exist but so many of his fans wanted a copy that he eventually had to write it himself. The back board has undergone sophistication at Panther Peak Bindery in Tucson, where the light tan, circular inlay at lower left corner - which had gone missing - has been replaced. This copy is letter "L" of 26 such copies. Signed by Koontz on the limitation page.
