BACHMAN, Richard [KING, Stephen]. Thinner.
New York: New American Library, 1984.

8vo (223 × 146 mm). (3) ff., 209 pp., (3) ff. Publisher’s hardcover, dust-jacket.

First edition, first printing.
The last of the Bachman novels to appear before King’s pseudonym was exposed. Thinner became a publishing phenomenon after bookseller Stephen Brown uncovered Bachman’s true identity and publicly revealed that Stephen King was the author. By then the book had already sold modestly; after the revelation, it surpassed three million copies sold. Prior to this, King reportedly received letters accusing “Bachman” of shamelessly imitating Stephen King’s style.

Dust-jacket in very good condition; interior perfectly clean.
