James Hadley Chase - FIRST PRINTING HARDBACK THRILLER BOOK CLUB EDITION
The Guilty Are Afraid
Thriller Book Club London 1956 Pretty clean and tight and in a gorgeous protected jacket. Okay it is a slightly chipped jacket but it has no serious losses. The book was printed on pulp paper so there is a brittle foxed quality to it but this is the best copy I've ever seen especially with the superb artwork on the cover; this is greatly enhaced because it's got a fresh first print quality. A lone investigator hunts for his partner's killer and in the best Chase style of prose this grips you and keeps you reading. Good straightforward sleuthing in the Chandler vein. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Thriller Book Club London hardcover

CHARLES PORTIS - SIGNED FIRST EDITION, 3rd PRINTING
True Grit
Simon & Schuster 1968 A rare signed first edition hardback third printing same year as the first. SIGNED by the author without a dedication on the front end paper. Untrimmed leading edge to the text block. No owner marks but a tiny line written at the top of the rear endpaper says 'bought autographed for the Hermitage Denver'. When I say 'tiny' I mean it. This in what I would call mouse writing. If mice could write this is how small it would be. But I digress; a signed first print in this condition will fetch two or thee times the price of this copy. VERY SCARCE as an autographed first edition even as a third printing. A stunning novel from an extraordinary writer but I don't need to tell you that because if you are reading this you know how wonderful this writer is. Language: eng Language: eng. Signed by Author.

Hale, John Rigby - SCARCE FIRST PRINTING
The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of the Italian Renaissance
Thames & Hudson LONDON 1981 A scarce hardback first edition. Most copies went to libraries. This one looks almost unread but it does have a neat owner signature and a blind stamp but these are tiny faults. The unclipped jacket has some slight sunning but it is not price clipped and it is protected. 'This is the one indispensable book for the student the scholar or the art lover' said one reviewer. So much more substantial than the copies offered in paperback this one is worth collecting in its own right. Firm binding no bent corners no marginal notes. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Thames & Hudson LONDON hardcover
