Mass market paperback. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. The UK edition of Stephen King's third Bachman book, a novel about a man driven to extremes when his son dies, his wife leaves, his job is threatened, and his house is slated for demolition to put in a new road. Roadwork "was written between 'Salem's Lot and The Shining and was an effort to write a straight novel.something serious. It was also an effort to make some sense of my mother's painful death the year before-a lingering cancer had taken her off inch by painful inch. I suspect Roadwork is probably the worst of [the Bachman books] simply because it tries so hard to be good and find some answers to the conundrum of human pain"-Why I Was Bachman. [8], 273, [1:blank], [6:ads] pages. £1.50 rear cover price. First edition (first printing with "First NEL Paperback Edition June 1983" on the copyright page). Near fine. With "New $4.50" pencilled on the first blank, apparently suggesting this copy was imported to the United States.

First edition (first printing with a numberline ending in 1). Some edge wear and creasing to the covers. Very good.

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very good. First Edition. A recently filmed novel set in a dystopian America where each year 100 men are forced to walk at a steady four miles per hour; if they slacken their pace, they are shot.

Mass market paperback. Condition: Very good. First Edition. Stephen King's fourth book (published in the same year as The Shining), a school shooting thriller that he no longer allows to be republished. It was published as a massmarket paperback original destined for sale in drugstores and supermarkets.

Previous bookseller's note "$50 1st ed." on the first page-that will suggest how long ago the previous owner bought it.
