About this Item

DEAN KOONTZ & PHIL PARKS (ILLUSTRATOR) - ODDKINS, copyright 1988, published by Headline, FIRST UK PRINTING (no references to subsequent printings on copyright page - there never was a 2nd printing but there was a trade paperback edition), illustrated endpapers, white boards with gold gilt spine lettering, unpriced dust jacket (some copies due come with a headline price sticker but it was published without a suggested retail price due to the weight/size of the book). THIS IS A LARGE FORMAT HARDCOVER (SIZE AND WEIGHT OF A COFFEE-TABLE BOOK). Book appears unread with pages that are white with sharp corners, no creased page corners, no foxing to pages, endpapers or outer page edges, nice tight spine with no spine lean, no internal hinge splits or glue tearing at internal spine creases (common defect with this book because its so heavy it puts a lot of strain on the hinge), no former owner's markings or used bookstore stamps/stickers inside, no scotch tape marks or other discoloration to endpapers, no wear to board edges or corners or spine tips, no bumped board corners, internal hinges are still tight (barest hint of age yellowing at board edges). Dust jacket has no chipping, tearing or creasing, no wear to spine tips (minor bumping only), no wear to front flap crease, no age yellowing, no soiling or staining to this all-white dust jacket, no edge wear, no spine sun fading. Overall a N-FINE book in N-FINE condition dust jacket (not price clipped) of a rare illustrated out-of-print Dean Koontz first UK printing hardcover book that is difficult to find in nice condition due to it being a children's book and due to its weight. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Dean Koontz 1st printing hardcover/paperback/magazine appearances up for sale.
