About This Item
New York: William Morrow, 1954. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good +/fair. Octavo, 272pp., illustrated. A crisp, clean copy, very good or better, with mild edgewear. In a fair dust jacket, with a large piece missing from the top of the spine. SIGNED and warmly and lengthily INSCRIBED by Gardner on the half-title page to his good friend Leo Roripaugh: "To Leo, friend, neighbor, fishing and hunting companion-with all my heart, yours, Erle. 1959." Gardner was close with the Rorpiaugh family in Temecula, CA, who lived near his ranch there. Laid-in is a small leaflet, representing the funeral program for Gardner, who died in March 1970. A previous bookseller's description laid in here notes that the book came from Louis Roripaugh's estate; he had a brother named Leo. Though Gardner is best-known for his Perry Mason novels and short stories, he was also a gifted writer on the landscape of the southwest.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
