    Love Stephen king, very excited to have the Shining back in my collection.

    My biggest concern was the book I received was not the book pictured. And the spine is cracked. However, I do like the book sent to me and iam position they would exchange the book has I only asked. I will definitely give them another chance when iam ready for another book. Clean, no oder, no stains and the jacket is perfect.
