About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Scribner, 2009. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. A FIRST EDITION, first printing from 2009, this King thriller was the basis for the 2013 TV series about a small Maine town encased in a mysterious dome. With a quarter black cloth-wrapped spine & matte black paper covering the remaining boards, this hardcover is Near Fine: looks, feels, & smells just about new & never read. Only flaw is a slight inward bowing to spine in center & a few infinitesimal spots to lower outside page edges. Else, completely clean & tight & square; pages white. The unclipped DJ is also Near Fine, with extremely slight edgewear; beautifully protected in Free clear mylar cover. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (PST); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day. SORRY: book is too heavy & thick for expedited domestic or international shipping without preapproval of substantial postage increase (at least double per USPS rates).
Synopsis
The town of Chester's Mill, Maine, is suddenly covered by a dome, an invisible force field on a normal, autumn day. A small team of honorable townspeople stand up to try to figure out what is happening, and why, only to draw the attention of Big Jim Rennie, a loud-mouthed town politician. Is the dome truly the largest threat facing the town?
Reviews
On May 31 2011, West of Eden Books said:
Stephen King fans will love this book. The size, over a thousand pages, won't daunt anyone who read "The Stand" or "It". It's King at his best; a Maine town full of interesting characters, both good and bad; a fight between evil and good; tales of corruption and insanity.The premise is simple- what happens if a small town is suddenly submerged under an impregnable dome? The slow realization of what it means as the townspeople struggle for supplies, power and ultimately for air, makes for a great read. The interaction of the characters is what makes it a great King book.
