London, New English Library / NEL, 1979. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. This is the first British issue. A fantastic novel, the Dark Tower is always viewed as King's magnum opus, but I think that's just a confusion of the term magnum opus; The Stand is a much better representation of King's greatest work. Some creasing to the laminate, as usual. A couple of areas of rubbing and some wear to the corners. Bumping to the spine tips. A handful of short tears to the jacket, fixed by tape to the reverse.
