This is the two\u2011volume Book\u2011of\u2011the\u2011Month Club (BOMC) Manuscript Edition of The Tommyknockers, an uncommon pre\u2011publication format produced exclusively for internal BOMC editorial review. These manuscript sets were never sold to the public, and were created for staff readers, selection committees, and production departments evaluating the novel for potential BOMC selection. Purported that less than ten exist. This is the first photocopied transcript submission with corrections from King’s typed original transcript submission for Tommyknockers.<\/p>\n
Each volume is mechanically reproduced from the publisher\u2019s working manuscript and bound in plain, utilitarian wrappers, typical of BOMC\u2019s internal manuscript program. These sets often contain early\u2011state text, pre\u2011final formatting, and editorial notations or layout differences not present in the finished trade edition. As such, they represent a unique bibliographic stage between the publisher\u2019s typescript and the commercial hardcover.<\/p>\n
Complete two\u2011part sets are significantly scarcer than single volumes, as many were separated, discarded, or heavily used during the review process. Surviving examples\u2014especially clean, intact sets\u2014are highly desirable among collectors of King\u2019s pre\u2011publication material and those documenting the full lifecycle of his 1980s works. This is being offered in near fine condition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
