Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition Thus is now rare. Re-presents, in an accessible and archival format, Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood: A True Account of A Multiple Murder And Its Consequences". The author's masterpiece, unsurpassable by him and everyone else who followed him: Norman Mailer and Joan Didion, among many notable others. Capote dedicated his book to the two most important figures in his life: Harper Lee ("To Kill A Mockingbird"), who accompanied him on many of his forays for the book, and Jack Dunphy, his lifelong partner and the executor of his estate. "Has the special merit of requiring and repaying thoughtful attention even while it tempts one to devour its contents with uninterrupted excitement" (F. W. Dupee). The basis of the film classic, by Richard Brooks, with Robert Blake in his most memorable screen performance, and who once said that Capote taught him everything he knew about acting. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote collectors. This title is a great book.
