Product Details
This listing offers a First Edition of Stephen King’s Misery, published by Viking in 1987. One of King’s most enduring and chilling novels, Misery tells the harrowing story of author Paul Sheldon and his captor, Annie Wilkes—widely considered one of King’s most unforgettable characters.
The first printing is identifiable by the full number line and the original Viking dust jacket, making this a desirable early‑state copy for collectors. Misery remains a cornerstone of King’s bibliography, adapted into an Academy Award–winning film and still celebrated for its tight, claustrophobic storytelling and psychological intensity.
This edition is ideal for collectors seeking an authentic first printing of one of King’s most famous works.
This copy is being offered with a near-fine condition book and fine dust jacket. The spine of the book has slight wrinkling and slight spine lean (see pictures).

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.
