Cover art by Michael Alpert. This is Number 80 of only 1,100 produced. A thin trade paperback with a water-marked brown cover, the words "STEPHEN KING Six Stories" humbly printed in white text across the top of the cover. Inside, the paper is of heavy stock and acid-free. The last page, 199, contains the printing information, the book number and Stephen King's signature. This is the Arabic numbered edition. Fine/Fine.

This edition stands out as having had exemplary care. Few have survived in this condition, considering it is a fragile softcover book. Photos of actual item. 

Includes a custom matching tray-case with magnetic enclosure system. 

Six Stories is one of King’s limited edition books, which means there was a very small initial print run and now seldom available for purchase.

Its rarity, limited print run, special features, and King’s status as a legendary author all contribute to Six Stories being a highly sought-after item for collectors. If you manage to find one in Fine condition like this one, it’s likely going to be a unique piece to add to any collection!
