About This Item
First American edition of Francis' first novel (preceded by a book about horse racing). Book is in excellent condition, clean and tight. Jacket is worn, rubbed and price-clipped, with spine lettering unevenly faded -- see pictures. The black printing on the jacket and the three-[iece binding contribute to this jacket tending to look pretty ratty over time. A reasonable copy for a collector -- most would want a finer jacket, but for that you can easily double the price.
Synopsis
Dead Cert is Dick Francis' first novel, published in 1962.
