My Pretty Pony: During a conversation with his grandson, an elderly man explains his belief that time moves differently as people age and approach death. Barbara Kruger's large-format design, photographs, and typography turn King's meditation into an art-book presentation.

Verification Summary

Verified Edition

Photographs show the oversized Knopf edition with matching slipcase, not the stainless-steel Whitney limited edition. The copyright statement identifies the first trade edition. The 1989 Knopf trade issue comprised 15,000 unsigned copies. Slipcase wear is common and materially affects value.
