Item description from seller

The 13-Year Trial by Doris S. Ramirez. Col-Medi, Inc., 2000. Stated First Edition/First Printing. Book Condition / Dust Jacket Condition Book Condition: As New Dust Jacket Condition: As New (original publisher shrinkwrap present, split cleanly along seam to allow inspection). Condition Notes: Original shrinkwrap remains intact around the boards with a factory seam split (not removed, not replaced). No handling wear to boards, spine, or corners. Interior pages are clean, bright, and unread, with no marks, toning, or defects observed. Effectively an opened-but-unread publisher-wrapped copy, which is highly desirable for collectors of controversial nonfiction. (see photos) Printing Identification Note: First edition and first printing are clearly stated on the copyright page; no ambiguity or conflicting print indicators. A controversial investigative account of a Texas medical prosecution in which plastic surgeon Dr. Hugo Ramirez was accused of malpractice involving alleged flesh-eating bacteria. Drawing on court transcripts, expert testimony, and medical records, the book argues that the case represented a miscarriage of justice driven by professional politics and regulatory overreach. This title has low print distribution, minimal surviving sealed or near-sealed copies, and appeals to: medical professionals, legal scholars, true-crime collectors, niche healthcare ethics readers. Most circulating copies show handling wear; publisher-wrapped examples are scarce.…

Store description

My late wife and I spent a lot of time accumulating books, especially during COVID. With her gone, the books are a reminder of her. Hence, it's time for me to Turn the Page. Update: Please note I have recently moved to New Mexico (September 2026) where our chihuahua, Pedro, will no longer have to slog through snow and ice - the state where my beloved wife and his mommy lived before we met. Thank you for all your orders since opening this storefront!
