Add to basketHardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 327 pages. Published in 1984. Collection of "private eye" thriller/mystery short stories. The single most important - and most beautiful - book ever published by The Mysterious Press in the 20th century. Deluxe Slipcased Edition of 26 lettered and signed copies. Sh…ould not be confused with the Limited Edition of 250 numbered and signed copies. Although the books are exactly the same, the labelling of the Deluxe Edition with the Roman alphabet instead of Roman numerals is not arbitrary, and is clearly intended to distinguish between the two, the Roman-Lettered copies being obviously much fewer in number therefore more collectible. This is a distinction that the publisher has continued to this day. An austerely elegant production by The Mysterious Press: Regular-sized volume format. Black cloth boards with gilt titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Short stories by sixteen major contributors. In sequence: Lawrence Block, Max Allan Collins, Michael Collins, Loren D. Estleman, Stephen Greenleaf, Edward D. Hoch, Richard Hoyt, Stuart M. Kaminsky, Rob Kantner, Michael Z. Lewin, John Lutz, Marcia Muller, William F. Nolan, Sara Paretsky, Bill Pronzini, and L. J. Washburn. ALL of these writers are now established names of the genre. Some of them are "Permanent Members" of the thriller/mystery canon. Matching cloth slipcase. Printed on archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its ultimate collectible format, "The Eyes Have It: The First Private Eye Writers of America Anthology". The ground-breaking and single most valuable thriller/mystery anthology of its kind ever published in our time. Reaffirms the pleasures one gets from reading "gumshoe" narratives, a popular art whose greatest writers enjoy canonical status. "Provides a combination of intellectual engagement, escapism, and satisfying resolutions. Readers are drawn to the puzzle-solving aspect, allowing them to be active participants in a story. Additionally, the genre offers a safe way to experience suspense and explore dark or taboo subjects from a secure distance. Finally, the genre often delivers a satisfying conclusion, where a crime is solved and order is restored, even in more ambiguous sub-genres like noir". The essence of cinema is suspense, which is why Alfred Hitchcock is, arguably, the greatest film director of the 20th century: He re-defined the film medium in the terms these writers developed and mastered. Notably, Rob Kantner ("Alfred Hitchcock Presents"), who wrote for him extensively. An absolute "must-have" title for thriller-mystery collectors. This is a copy of the Deluxe Slipcased Edition of 26 Roman Lettered copies: Letter "F". It is very prominently and beautifully signed in various ink and fountain pens on the Back Limitation Page by ALL of the writers and Editor Robert J. Randisi. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the Deluxe Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Should NOT be confused with the Limited Edition of 250 numbered copies, which was issued simultaneously. A rare signed copy thus. Some of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine collectible copy. Signed by Author(s).
