About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Barnes & Noble, Inc., 1999. First Thus . Hardcover. VG+/Fine. Gorey, Edward. Fantastic DJ cover art by Edward Gorey. Traces the history & evolution of Scotland Yard in London & its investigation of various notorious crimes, including Jack the Ripper, serial killer Dennis Nilsen, child killer Constance Kent, IRA terrorists, drug lords, & more. In 278 pages with Index. The First Printing of this special edition from Barnes & Noble from 1999 (First, thus), this hardcover 8vo has a black half-cloth spine with red paper over the remaining boards. Downgraded to VG+ because it is an Ex-Lib copy, with minimal stamps & markings in front matter & to top & bottom outside page edges. Red paper on both boards is torn where tape that had affixed old DJ library mylar was removed. The DJ itself is Fine: virtually flawless & protected in brand new clear mylar cover to stay that way! A nice edition to any Gorey collection! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
