About this Item

1st Printing. Signed. 389 pages. Published in 2000. The author's breakthrough debut novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Peter Moore Smith's "Raveling". Unputdownable. "The novel's strength lies in the deftness with which Peter Moore Smith captures Pilot's schizophrenia. The reader follows Pilot in each unsteady attempt to negotiate the ever-fluctuating boundary between reality and illusion. Weaves the fragile threads that bind families and selves into a tapestry that both cloaks its characters and leaves them starkly vulnerable" (Kelly Flynn). "Eyes closed, I was in a bed upstairs, my arms under the covers so they wouldn't float away. Outside the window a single branch was reaching toward the room, unfurling itself to tap against the glass, warning me" (Peter Moore Smith). An absolute "must-have" title for Peter Moore Smith collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Peter Moore Smith. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant mystery writers of our time. A fine copy. ISBN 0316442178.
