Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. The second of the four novels of Ellroy's acclaimed "LA Quartet." Set in 1950s Los Angeles, it features three men caught up in a net of ambition, perversion and deceit. Sheriff's Deputy Upshaw is stuck with a bunch of dead bodies and cases no one c…ares about but that may make his name. Considine is one of the top brass in the DA's office, climbing on the Red Scare bandwagon as the quick way to get to the top of the career ladder; and Meeks, bagman, ex-narco goon and pimp for Howard Hughes, is fighting Communism for the money. All three have bought in to a nightmare in this crime noir novel. First Printing, First Edition. Text edges are lightly foxed, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows only a touch of edge and surface wear, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped. Collectable.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. James Ellroy's classic The Big Nowhere is a meticulously plotted, utterly gripping picture of cop life on the L.A. streets. This is an advance reading copy, provided by the publisher to booksellers and reviewers ahead of the first edition publication. This copy is admittedly n…ot in spectacular shape. The blue spine has faded toward green. There's a dent in the top front cover, probably a paperclip mark. On the back cover there's a corner fold, and a stain on the top of the cover and the text block, and a couple more on the side of the text block. It's unread, the spine isn't creased, and the interior is square and tight. It's INSCRIBED by Ellroy to your humble bookseller: "To Jeff--The Nowhere is Everywhere!" In plain wrappers, as issued. All signatures on my books are guaranteed authentic. These are books from my personal collection, amassed over decades as a bookseller/author/publisher. Unless otherwise noted, signatures/inscriptions were obtained in person. Inscribed by Author(s).
