First Edition
First edition, first printing of King's fourth novel and the first to be published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. With the plot resembling actual high school shootings in the 1980s and 90s, King became uncomfortable with the idea of having it remain in print, for fear that it might inspire further such occurrences - "(Rage is) now out of print, and a good thing." It briefly remained available as part of the Bachman Books omnibus, but has since been out of print and is increasingly scarce. New York: Signet Books / New American Library, 1977. Publisher's original illustrated wraps; pp. (x), 211, [3]. A very good copy. Binding remains tight and sturdy with a trace of a lean. Light general shelfwear and rubbing to wraps, crease to spine, rubber stamp to top edge of text block. Tiny puncture to rear wrap and back half of text block. Very scarce.
