About this Item

DEANNA DWYER (DEAN KOONTZ penname) - DEMON CHILD, copyright 1971, published by Lancer, True First Printing (no references to subsequent printings on copyright page - the second printing has a blue background on the cover with the title centered and states as such on the copyright page). NOTE - THIS BOOK WAS REPRINTED ONLY ONCE BUT THEN NEVER REPUBLISHED OR REISSUED BY KOONTZ, WHO LATER BOUGHT UP ALL OF THE RIGHTS TO HIS EARLY PB WORK TO PREVENT REPRINTING. SECOND NOTE - IMPORTANT BOOK FOR THOSE WHO COLLECT DEAN'S "ADULT" BOOKS WHICH HE NOW DENIES WRITING - THE DEDICATION ON THE COPYRIGHT PAGE READS: "DEDICATION: TO ANN, GRACIE, DAN, LEONARD, ELY, AND K.R." WHICH ARE REFERENCES TO THE FIRST NAMES OF SEVERAL OF KOONTZ'S PENNAMES (INCLUDING 2 PENNAMES ANN GRIFFIN AND GRACIE AMBER) THAT HE USED ON HIS 1970 CAMEO "ADULT" NOVELS. Book has faint vertical spine creasing, no creased page corners, ALMOST NO AGE YELLOWING TO SPINE/RIGHT EDGE ON REAR PANEL (common defect with this book for some reason), almost no wear to spine tips, no cover creases, no edge wear, no soiling or staining, no cover rubbing (another common problem with this book), no former ownership markings or used bookstore stamp inside (common defect - these romance books are nearly always found with used bookstore stamping), pages just starting to age yellow at edges (as is often found with this book), pages are tight and flat. Overall a FINE- book of a rare Dean Koontz first printing book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Dean Koontz 1st printing hardcover/paperback/magazine appearances up for sale.
