About This Item
This is a first edition of Dinner at Antoine's, a murder mystery set at the famous New Orleans restaurant that has been a landmark since 1840. It was written in 1948 by the prolific American author Frances Parkinson Keyes; it was a huge best-seller at the time and people still flock to Antoine's.
Keyes' dedication to its owner at the time, her friend Roy Alciatore, is printed at the front.
This copy is in excellent condition. No dust jacket. A tiny amount of shelfwear and fading to the spine. On the inside, it looks like the binding may have been repaired. Aside from some darkening of the paper, it's perfect.
Note: If you are outside of North America, the quoted shipping price is for surface mail without tracking. For other options, please contact me.
