About This Item
London: W. H. Allen, 1970. First UK edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/good. Presentation copy of Gores' first novel, a rather gripping hard-boiled tale of revenge. Inscribed to (according to friends) Gores' agent at the time: "Art -- Since you're hung up on hardcovers, here," a note pointing out where "the sex-stuff" is in the book, "Enjoy ... enjoy/Joe, Oct '71". A very warm and personal inscription on the book that started a major career in modern hard-boiled mysteries, Book is very clean, with slight spine bumping; dustjacket is worn on the edges, with a noticeable closed tear at the upper left corner of the front panel, about 1cm in length, and two whitened rubbed patches about 1mm round on the left edge of the front panel. Winner of the Edgar for Best First Novel in 1970. A very nice associational copy of an important book. Gores died early in 2011.
