Dean R. Koontz Whispers 1st edition hb/dj unclipped ultra rare

Whispers fully bound black boards, silver gilt spine lettering, white pastedowns. Unclipped $12.95 dustjacket first state.
G.P. Putnam’s Sons New York, 1980. This is the real deal first edition, first printing of the authors break through novel under his own real name. One of the hardest to find in any condition.
Condition is strange VG/VG on my end. Obviously previously owned by a teenage girl. Kathy loves Brian btw. Pics speak for themselves. The unclipped jacket however, alone can fetch a few glances. Price intact with just the lower heel chipping and upper spine edge tear missing a bit of real estate. A lower rear panel closed tear. I mean like really try to find a better jacket under 1k. Ultra rare. Mo
