Large octavo, pp. [i-v] vi-xi [xii] xiii-xx [1-2] 3-780, illustrations, pictorial boards. First edition, first printing. Limited to 3000 copies. The core of the book is a concordance providing details on virtually every character, location, and physical object mentioned in King's published and unpublished works. The remainder of the book is basically a miscellany of fiction and poetry (by Joseph Payne Brennan, Stanley Wiater and others), articles and essays (by Tyson Blue, Michael R. Collings, the editor and others) and interviews (with Douglas E. Winter, David King, Richard Matheson, Robert R. McCammon, Ray Garton, Joe R. Lansdale and others). A fine copy without dust jacket as issued. (#2936).

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Stephen J. Spignesi - The Shape Under the Sheet: The Complete Stephen King Encyclopedia - Popular Culture, Ink, 1991, First Edition. Ann Arbor, Popular Culture, Ink, 1991. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A fairly exhaustive encyclopedia of King's universe, some outstanding work has been done putting this together. If you want to know the name of Andy Masen's youngest brother in Cujo you can find out easily (I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to get the encyclopedia to find out). One of 3,000 copies so there was clearly quite a demand for the title (and still is no doubt). It's not just one for the hardcore fans, it's a useful reference to use whilst reading if, like me, you frequently fail to recall who a certain character is. Near fine with just a little bumping to the spine tips. Big, heavy and detailed. No jacket, as issued.

From Library Journal This monstrous volume, admits author/compiler Spignesi, "is for the King reader who literally wants to know everything they possibly can about the World of King." That aptly sums up Spignesi's book, grandiose aims, careless grammar, and all. Besides indexing King's published and unpublished works (a job that takes up about half the book's length), Spignesi provides brief primary and secondary bibliographies, a publishing history and table of contents for the King newsletter Castle Rock , and detailed discussions of recordings and film adaptations. There are interviews with King's secretary, brother, critics, admirers, collectors, and others, stories and (very bad) poems by many of these same individuals, and even bibliographies of the works of these peripheral players. Finally, there are more than a dozen pieces that Spignesi himself finds unclassifiable, including an embarrassing dissection of "The Three Levels of Stephen King Fandom." In short, this is a volume whose coverage and organization makes it of marginal reference value, but it is also of enormous potential interest to King's readers. Libraries that already own such basic volumes as The Stephen King Companion (LJ 11/15/84) will need to decide whether this new work's cur rency and level of detail justify its stiff price. The publisher notes that this is a collector's edition, with only 3000 copies being printed, thus the cost.--Ed. -Grove Koger, Boise P.L., Id. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
