DEAN KOONTZ - FEAR NOTHING, copyright 1998 (although this proof would have been released in the late summer/early fall of 1997), published by Bantam, UNCORRECTED PROOF (also commonly referred to as Advance Reader's Edition, Advanced Reading Copy or "ARC"), larger trade pb format with plain wrapper cover, printed in very small quantities several months before the trade hardcover release (book was used by editors/book reviewers in advance of hardcover publication. NOTE - FOR SOME REASON THIS PLAIN COVER PROOF WAS QUITE RARE AT THE TIME OF RELEASE (UNLIKE EARLIER KOONTZ PROOFS LIKE SOLE SURVIVOR OR INTENSITY WHICH WERE VERY COMMON). Book has no cover creases, no vertical spine creasing, no spine lean, pages that are white with sharp corners, one tiny (likely poor handling rather than reading) creased page corner, nice tight spine, no internal hinge splits, no former owner's markings or used bookstore stamps/stickers inside, no scotch tape marks or other discoloration to endpapers, no wear to spine tips, no edge wear on spine, no dust rubbing to covers, no soiling/staining to covers, no bumped corners, no spine sun darkening. Overall a FINE-/N-FINE book of a rare advance state (predating the hardcover trade edition) Dean Koontz first printing proof book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Dean Koontz 1st printing hardcover/paperback/magazine appearances up for sale. Seller Inventory # ABE-1657246551260
