About this Item
Octavo, 276pp. A fine, bright copy in like dust jacket. SIGNED by both Robertson and Stephen King on the title page. King has written an inscription, which reads: "For Jerry Hitt [?] (who knows about the Philtrum!) Best, Stephen King." Robertson, born in Cleveland, was a novelist who became well-known for his "Morris Bird III" novels, the first of which was titled "The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread," and later "Paradise Falls." Stephen King has stated in several interviews that Robertson is "probably" his favorite writer, and the respect and admiration he had for the writer was evident in his publication of Robertson's "The Ideal, Genuine Man" in 1987. It is known that King appeared in Cleveland at least once for a book signing alongside Robertson, as both this copy and a previous example we sold were dated 1/28/1988. We have never seen an example signed by King with quite such a lengthy inscription. As such, a very pleasing copy. An important volume for any truly completist King collector, which is sometimes unjustly unknown by even his most ardent fans. Seller Inventory # 11092
