Stephen King - DIFFERENT SEASONS (Including Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption)

Publisher: Macdonald, London

Publication Date: 1982

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Very Good

Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good

First Printing of the First UK edition. Collects four novellas of which three have been successfully filmed - Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Body ("Stand by Me"), Apt Pupil. The fourth story is titled The Breathing Method.

This edition has never been commonplace and is now becoming hard-to-find. This copy is a well-read one with noticeable reading creasing to the spine, the spine-tips quite crushed. It has a slight lean but the binding remains reasonably firm. There are a few minor marks to the lower cover. The block is surprisingly fresh for a Macdonald from this era with none of the usual tanning you might expect - minor toning at the most. Free from owner names/marks. A VG copy but not Fine.

The dustjacket presents well but is price-clipped. Minor creasing along the edges, very minor laminate chips at upper corners.  A very nice copy.
