It
by King, Stephen
IT weaves a supernatural tale of seven socially outcast kids who find themselves brought together one summer to battle an ancient and deadly shape-shifter known as IT. IT emerges from the sewers once every 27 years, using it's polymorphic abilities to terrify and prey upon children in the rural town of Derry, Maine - often in the form of the demonic Pennywise the Clown. IT was made into a television mini-series in 1990, starring Tim Curry and more recently as a blockbuster film (2017).
First Edition Identification
Stephen King's 22nd book, IT was published in 1986 by Viking, with an initial print run of 800,000 copies. It has black boards and a grey and black jacket with IT emblazoned across the front in stark red letters. The dust jacket inner flap has a price of $22.95. The copyright page states "First Published in 1986 by Viking Penguin, Inc.". Owing to it's recent popularity, prices for a first edition are rather volatile, but tend to be in the $200-300 range.
Other Collectible or Notable Editions
In 2011, a 25th anniversary edition of IT was issued by Cemetery Dance comprising three editions and featuring jacket illustrations by Glen Orbik: a limited edition of 2750 copies, a signed limited edition of 750 copies, and a signed and lettered edition of 52 copies. Each is housed in a slipcase or traycase.
