The Howling

Shifnal: MHB Press, 2010. Book. Illus. by Dan Harding. Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Brand, on title page. Special Limited Edition.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First published in the dim dark past that is 1977. Remember 1977? The winner of the Stanley Cup was some team from Quebec; the #1 song on Billboard's top 100 was "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright") by Rod Stewart; the World Series was won by the New York Yankees; Steve Biko was murdered by South African police; New York City endured its infamous 25-hour blackout, a serious boon to looters and lowlife morons; and nobody took advantage of that marvellous 25-hour opportunity to kneecap a pathological liar who would later become a second-rate television reality show host before becoming known as Donnie One-Term, judged by eminent historians as the fourth worst president in U.S. history. Essentially a seriously lousy year all-round, except for the original publication of this title, which became the 1981 movie of the same name, and starred Dee Wallace, Patrick Macnee and Dennis Dugan. This is a Signed Limited Collectors Edition, signed by Brandner on a special bound-in sheet at front. This is a Presentation Copy, as indicated on the aforementioned page. Garnet cloth w/gilt spine lettering, 197 pages, bound-in silver ribbon bookmark. The book is unmarked, and the dust jacket has light rubbing and thin scratches. All in all a nice copy, w/jacket now in protective mylar sleeve..
