Under the Dome
By Stephen King
 
First edition, first impression: New York: Scribner, 2009. Signed by the author to the title page.
 
Octavo. Quarter dark blue cloth over dark blue paper-covered boards, spine lettered in silver, publisher’s device to foot. With the original pictorial dust jacket, priced $35.00 to the upper corner of the front flap.
 
A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the boards fresh and unfaded, and the contents clean throughout; signed by the author on the title page.
 
The dust jacket near fine, with only light traces of wear at the extremities; an excellent example.
 
A substantial later novel from King, developed from an abandoned 1970s draft titled The Cannibals and here expanded into a panoramic work blending science fiction with political and social commentary on the breakdown of civic order. It was adapted into a CBS television series (2013–15), initially following the novel’s premise before diverging in later seasons.
