Before 'It' came out in hardcover in 1986, I got a promise from my rep that he would send me an uncorrected proof. I then made plans to take the day off when it arrived at the bookstore.

And when it did, I remember fondling it with great care and then doing exactly what I had promised to do: Take the day off and start reading.

I still have my Uncorrected Proof, and it's in absolutely perfect condition inside and outside.

The photo below is not my copy, but one that I wanted Mobileread's members to see. Mine looks exactly the same. One of these days, I might even try to get it inscribed...

THIS IS A GREAT BARGAIN AT $2.99
