New York: Random House, 1971. First edition, as stated. Hardcover. Good/very good. The first of the Parker novels to be published as a hardcover original, and now quite scarce. As is typical for Random House books of this period, the number line goes from 9 down to 2; the statement "First Edition" on the verso of the title page implies this is a first printing.This is a Good copy in a VG dustjacket; the book would be VG except that a small portion (3-1/2x11cm) of the rear free endpaper is cut out. Moderate spine rolling, spine ends slightly bent, a bit of general wear. Jacket has noticeable edge wear, a few small cuts and one cut on the bottom foredge of the rear fold. It'll look quite reasonable on the shelf, and it has no problems affecting the text -- but that little bit of missing paper lowers its price considerably.

Garden City: Doubleday, 1965. First edition thus. Hardcover. Near Fine/very good. First collected edition of these two novels, and the first US hardback edition of either of them. From the time when Ballard was still a secret known mostly to science fiction fans. Both the trade and the book club editions on this book are moderately scarce -- the trade scarcer and more desirable, of course. Clipped dustjacket with several closed tears, the longest about 5cm at the head of the spine; now in a protector to prevent further damage. The book is clean, with slight flaking of the gold on the spine title. A difficult title to find for the Ballard completist.
