THE SKYLARK

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Original green cloth with red foil titles to the spine, in the Susan Bee illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the boards a little bowed, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. The closed text-block edge is slightly spotted. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped ($50 on the front flap).

Issued in a limited edition of 500 copies, this example is numbered 201 and signed by Peter Straub in blue ink on the limitation page. A longer, earlier draft of the author's Bram Stoker Award winning novel 'A Dark Matter'.
