KING, Stephen (b. 1947). The Stand. Garden City: Doubleday & Company, 1978. 8vo. Original black and tan cloth; original dust jacket (chipping along extremities, closed tear on dust jacket rear). FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING with ?T39? code in gutter on p. 823. Written in large part as a response to the overwhelming sense of disorder prevalent throughout the 1970s, The Stand takes a great deal of inspiration from George R. Stewart?s 1949 post-apocalyptic tale Earth Abides as well as J.R.R. Tolkien?s Lord of the Rings trilogy.
