Details: Title: The Paper Doorway: Funny Verse and Nothing Worse Author: Dean Koontz Illustrator: Phil Parks Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books Copyright: 2001 ISBN: 0-06-029488-4 Format: Hardcover with Dust Jacket (protected in Mylar/Brodart cover) Edition: First Edition (number line: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) Genre: Children's Poetry / Humor / Illustrated
A rare and charming find: a first edition of Dean Koontz's delightful children's poetry collection, signed and dated by both Koontz and illustrator Phil Parks on October 28, 2001 — likely during the book's release tour. Most Koontz collectors focus on his horror novels, which makes this signed children's book a genuinely unusual addition to any collection. 160 pages of witty, whimsical verse with Parks's illustrations throughout.
Hardcover binding is solid and in very good condition. Pages are clean with no names, inscriptions, or highlights beyond the signatures. Dust jacket is protected in a Mylar cover.
