A gorgeous, pristine copy -- fresh and crisp. Obviously never read. Bright, shiny, clean, square, tight, and unmarked. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or… bookplate. NO remainder mark. NOT a book club edition. The Dust Jacket is NOT price clipped ($23.95). No chips. No tears. No creases. No fading. Signed by the Author on title page -- signature only. [Note: A profusion of signed copies on the market has led to speculation that the author's signature in this title may have been accomplished via autopen. For what it is worth, we have compared the signatures in the three copies we have in inventory and all three bear distinct differences, thus autopen appears very unlikely, at least for our copies]. Bound in the original blue boards & black spine. From the Dust Jacket: "Literary agent Anthea Landau, legendary resident of the Paddington Hotel, is auctioning off her personal correspondence from enigmatic writer Gulliver Fairborn. Her famous ex-client, who guards his private life so jealously that he has never been photographed or interviewed, is reportedly outraged by Landau's betrayal -- yet can't afford to outbid the collectors who are fighting to get their hands on his letters. Bernie Rhodenbarr is at the Paddington to make sure they never do. Gully Fairborn is Bernie's literary idol, so when Fairborn's ex-lover, Alice Cottrell, asks the bookseller-burglar to help her return the letters to their rightful author, Bernie doesn't hesitate. He breaks into Anthea Landau's suite and finds her -- dead.". Signed by Author (on title page - signature only). First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. As New condition/As New dust jacket. Illus. by Henry, Doug (jacket art). 8vo. 280pp. Henry, Doug (jacket art) (illustrator).
