Inspired by a 1949 case of supposed demonic possession and exorcism, Blatty's novel details the demonic possession of eleven-year-old Regan MacNeil, the daughter of a famous actress, and the two priests who attempt to exorcise the demon from her.The novel was highly successful, resulting in a 1973 film adaptation for which Blatty himself won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. Blatty's classic horror novel that has withstood the test of time and garnered numerous movies and sequels based on it. Second printing. Hardcover and original unclipped dust jacket protected by archival Mylar cover. Great opportunity to put this on your shelf. Nice alternative to the spendy true first printing! This is NOT an ex-Library or Remainder copy! A presentable copy of the 2nd printing of the True hardcover First Edition. A NEAR FINE book in a VERY GOOD- Jacket. Book is square and solidly bound. Light soil to page edges (see photos). NO writing, remainders, inscriptions, underlining etc... a nice looking book, just not quite crisp enough to grade higher. PROPER 1st printing (and second) Dust jacket in Mylar cover. Decent, but has rub/wrinkle/chips to edges/folds (see pics). Age toning to paper, but is UNCLIPPED with $6.95 price on the front flap of the dj. PROPER 1st Printing jacket with SBN code to bottom right corner of rear cover, and full Tippi Hedren photo of Blatty with striped coffee mug. Later printings (3rd printing on) have a different photo of the author on the rear cover. SCARCE All items are carefully packed in bubble-wrap and placed INSIDE a BOX for shipping. BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector. Please refer to description for confirmation of condition.
