About This Item
Blakeney, Glos: England: Scorpion Press, 1997. 1st ed. Only 15 LETTERED DELUXE COPIES were produced for private distribution and were SIGNED BY BOTH O'CONNELL AND VAL MCDERMID. This is LETTER "K". Very fine in crimson red goatskin with five raised bands, striking red and cream patterned marbled paper sides, red top edge and cream end papers in transparent dust jacket. A Kate Mallory novel by an author who is fast becoming one of the most sought-after of the new wave of women writers. Laid in is a note on Scorpion Press letterhead describing the De Luxe Specifications : "The de luxe presentation copies are produced in small numbers as they are intended primarily for the use of the author, contributor, editor, publisher and others associated with the authors work. These books are given a letter rather than a number and are especially handsome, bound in goatskin rather than bonded leather with five raised bands. The spine blocking is horizontal because of the raised bands. In addition these books contain the signature of the contributor. Prices vary slightly due to the costs involved, the difficulty of obtaining the signatures and overall desirability of the volumes.". Signed by All Contributors. First Edition. Quarter-Goatskin. Fine/Fine. Limited / Lettered Edition.
