LEIGH NICHOLS (DEAN KOONTZ penname) - THE KEY TO MIDNIGHT, copyright 1979, published by Pocket (there was no hardcover trade printing until 1989), First Printing (complete 10 - 1 numberline on copyright page), double cover.

FLAT SIGNED (NOT INSCRIBED TO A PERSON) BY DEAN KOONTZ ON TITLE PAGE \"LEIGH NICHOLS AKA DEAN R. KOONTZ\"

Book has no creased page corners, much less than normal vertical spine creasing (near impossible to find this book without significant multiple spine creasing), no spine lean, no front cover creases, hint of wear to spine tips, no wear to left/right on spine, just slight color rubbing to front cover (common defect with this book - normally this book is found badly color rubbed/scratched on the cover as its an all-black semi-glossy cover), no staining or soiling to covers, no former ownership markings or used bookstore stamps inside, pages not starting to age yellow at edges.

Overall a VG+/FINE- book of this 1970s Dean Koontz first printing pen name book. I have a number of other U.S. and U.K. Dean Koontz 1st printing hardcover/paperback/magazine appearances up for sale on - just click on the \'see other items\' link to the right of the picture.

NOTE - MEDIA MAIL ROUTINELY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT MAY SAY - THEY DON\'T CONTROL THE POST OFFICE). For U.S. buyers, both priority mail (3-5 days) and media mail (3-4 weeks) shipping options will be listed in the invoice (or if the book is a paperback or small magazine both 1st class mail (5-7 days) and media mail shipping options will be listed in the invoice) - SIMPLY CLICK ON THE BLUE \'OTHER SHIPPING OPTIONS\' LINK IN THE INVOICE TO SEE BOTH SHIPPING OPTIONS/COST. DELIVERY CONFIRMATION IS NOT TRACKING (despite what and paypal want to call it - again they don\'t control the U.S. post office). Delivery confirmation is merely what it says it is - it confirms delivery to prevent fraudulent chargebacks of claimed unreceived items (which is why I don\'t charge for delivery confirmation in the shipping costs). Also, since I print shipping labels from home (as opposed to purchasing shipping at the post office), the delivery confirmation number IS NOT SCANNED BY THE POST OFFICE AT THIS END. Therefore, in most cases, the first time that the Post Office will show anything when you check the delivery confirmation number is when the package hits your local post office/sorting center (basically the day before its delivered to you). Occasionally (about 25% of the time) a package will get scanned at the Federal Way, WA transfer station, but in the vast majority of the cases the delivery confirmation won\'t show anything until basically the day before you get the package.

I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WON (if you would like estimates of what combined shipping costs might be for a certain group of sales, please e-mail me before the sales close but a very rough estimate is $.50-$1.00 per additional book for media mail, $1.00-$2.00 per additional book for priority mail, and $6.00-$7.00 per additional book for international mail).

As for returns -All items are used (not new) books and therefore are sold as-is, which is why I try to provide a fairly detailed description of the item itself (i.e. what it is and what it is not) as well its specific condition, noting any significant defects (for collectible items). Book grades are provided in the posting, however book grading standards/categories very widely from seller to seller, so please do not rely solely on the grade that I have given a book or \'s provided \"condition\" box description, without considering the specific condition/defects described for that particular book. I do, on occasion, miss a significant defect in an item or simply make a cut/paste error in the description (i.e. an error in the description from using a prior posting as the \"shell\" for this book\'s description), and for collectible items, if that happens, on a case-by-case basis I do issue a full refund (including the cost of return shipping) depending upon the collectible significance of the undisclosed defect.
