About this Item

Debut novel When the Bough Breaks introduced the world to Dr. Alex Delaware and author Jonathan Kellerman. Kellerman won a well-deserved Edgar Award for the mystery, and Delaware became a beloved character of mystery fiction. This is a clean, bright, square first edition copy, with only a small red spot on the red tops of the text block keeping it from as new or very fine condition. It has been archivally protected in a nonsmoking environment since the original purchase. The dust jacket is intact and unclipped, with slight fading of the spine. All in all, a beautiful copy of an important book. Kellerman INSCRIBED it, simply but warmly, to prominent mystery booksellers. Seller Inventory # 151075

Store Description

A bookseller's passion is connecting people with books they'll love. To that end, I try to provide more than just a sales listing, but a description of what makes each book a special and unique item, maybe a little personal history of my relationship with the author, and of course, a detailed accounting of any flaws (hey, I'm a collector, too). I'm a long-time bookseller/author/publisher/editor with almost 40 years of experience in virtually every aspect of the book business, and I'm slowly liquidating my massive personal collection. The books are mostly high-quality modern first editions, primarily in the genres of SF/Fantasy, Horror, Crime/Mystery, Thriller, but assorted other gems as well. For more about my work, you can check my rarely updated website at jeffmariotte.com, and you can always drop me a line through ABE. Thanks for taking a look at my store.
