🎈 This is a True First Edition / First Printing of IT (1986), 🎈 Stephen King’s monumental 1,138‑page epic and one of the most influential horror novels ever written. Set in the haunted town of Derry, Maine, the story follows the Losers’ Club as they confront an ancient, shape‑shifting evil that resurfaces every 27 years. Blending childhood nostalgia, cosmic terror, and psychological depth, IT stands as a cornerstone of King’s career and modern horror literature.

First printings of IT are highly collectible, especially in strong condition, due to the novel’s cultural impact, its massive popularity, and its enduring legacy through multiple film adaptations. Because of the book’s size, many copies show spine lean, jacket wear, or binding stress—making clean examples increasingly scarce.

This copy retains its original $22.95 price, first‑state identifiers, and the expected Viking first‑printing points. A sharp, well‑preserved example is a centerpiece volume for any serious Stephen King collection. This copy is being offered with a very good book and very good dust jacket. There is some very light foxing on the top page block (see pics).
