Product Details
A signed hardcover copy of Stephen King’s landmark debut novel, Carrie, originally published in 1974. This copy is an early Doubleday hardcover printing featuring the W16 gutter code on the final page of text, dating its printing to the 16th week of 1981 (April 1981).
Unlike the true 1974 first printing (which carries a P6 gutter code and a $5.95 jacket price), early 1980s Doubleday trade printings like this W16 issue retain the classic Doubleday hardcover boards and original cover artwork while bearing a later dust jacket price $10.95.
This copy is being offered in VG/NF condition.

All Signed Products Have Been Authenticated and Verified with Lifetime Provenance Validation
High-level authentication is an advanced discipline that operates at the intersection of long-term expertise, detailed observation, and controlled verification standards. All items are verified for its origin, composition, production context, and historical alignment. First editions, first printings, and original works require a different level of scrutiny.
Extremely Limited Availability
Once a specific item, edition, or production run exits the market, it cannot be reproduced, reissued, or replaced. Many pieces offered here originate from private collections assembled decades ago and have been permanently removed from normal circulation, placing them beyond conventional availability. When verifiable rarity is combined with expert authentication grounded in over 30 years of specialization, these items represent asymmetric investment opportunities, where limited supply, protected provenance, and sustained collector demand create meaningful long-term appreciation potential.
