Seller: Captain Ahab's Rare Books, ABAA, Stephenson, VA, U.S.A.
First American Hardcover Editions. First Printings. Twenty-one octavo volumes (21-22cm); original paper and cloth-covered boards and dustjackets. Hint of foxing to one or more text edges of two titles (Gray & Indigo), with an early pictorial bookplate in Gray, previous owner's name on front endpaper of Gold, and one tiny inked letter to front endpaper of Purple, else all volumes are fresh, with no remainder marks, and showing the most minimal signs of wear; very Near Fine. All dustjackets are unclipped, with the correct prices and codes (per Shine), except for Turquoise, which was price-clipped by the publisher. A half-dozen or so examples show some pinpoint wear and trivial rubbing to extremities, a few with tiny tears, two titles display a hint of sunning to spine panels (Orange and Brown). Purple comes with a second, trial dustjacket, with flaps and rear panel lacking text, and the panels bearing a noticeably different color scheme. Uniformly Near Fine or better except for three titles (Red, Indigo, and Turquoise), which are solidly Very Good+. Accompanied by a handsome photographic portrait of a bespectacled MacDonald, wearing a trenchcoat and holding his pipe (measuring 4.5" x 6.75"). Complete run of MacDonald's color-coded crime novels featuring beach bum, ladies man, salvage expert, and all-around tough guy Travis McGee. In the twenty-one novels written over as many years, McGee fights crime and corruption throughout the seedy underbelly of Florida, with trips to Mexico and Caribbean. Not an impossible set to assemble, but the early books are deceptively difficult to find in collector's condition and in the correct dustjackets. The first in the Lippincott series, Darker Than Amber, is the toughest to find, almost always plagued by condition issues, and often found masquerading in a price-clipped second printing dustjacket; this copy is the best of the few we've had, virtually flawless. A key installment in 20th century American crime fiction. Hubin, p.261. Seller Inventory # 6763
