About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc., 2000. First Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Brimming with gossip and humor, with minor tempests and huge embarassments, this is a charming memoir of a modest Englishman's encounters with contemporary America in the fast lanes of Washington, D.C . and New York City. While Chancellor's experiences with power and peril among the politically and socially elite in the American capital have provided him with an abundance of lively anecdotes, they did not prepare him for life at the 'New Yorker', where at the unanticipated bidding of Tina Brown he assumed the monocle of the magazine's famous top-hatted mascot, Eustace Tilly, and edited 'The Talk of the Town'--not always to flattering consequences. Fine, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. ABS1

We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise

Collecting Classic Supernatural Fiction
Classic supernatural fiction is distinct from contemporary horror because it is more literate and often relies upon poetic subtlety rather than unpleasant gratuity to create an atmosphere. Enter if you dare!
