About This Item
823 pages. First edition (first printing, a stated "First Edition" and yes, there is the code T39 on page 823, which is not a point of issue, all copies that state "first editions" have that code). Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with the $12.95 price. This is a very nice copy, inscribed by King, "For Barry-hoped you liked this tale of love and horror beyond the end of the world-Stephen King. 4/22/83." This is King's typical good inscription in The Stand and you won't find many nicer copies.
Synopsis
A deadly virus, accidentally released from a government lab, wipes out most of the world's population. The survivors are left to rebuild society, but two factions emerge - one led by a kind-hearted woman named Mother Abagail and the other by a demonic figure known as Randall Flagg. The two sides ultimately face off in a battle between good and evil. The book explores themes of humanity, morality, and the consequences of our actions. King's intricate character development and immersive storytelling create a haunting and thought-provoking tale. "The Stand" is a chilling reminder of the fragility of life and the potential for both destruction and redemption in the face of disaster.
