New York: Henry Holt & Company, 1986. 243 pages. Sue Grafton's scarce third Kinsey Millhone mystery. First edition, first printing with number line including "1". This copy is clean and tight in an attractive dust jacket that is clean and has the $14.95 price intact on the front flap. A previous owner has written her name on both front endpapers as well as the date of purchase on the free endpaper. There is a 1/4" slit along the front gutter that I missed the first 2 times I examined the book. The white dust jacket has mellowed slightly but has none of the soiling so common on this book. There is a faint water stain that comes up about 1/2" at the bottom of the spine and along bottom of front panel (again, this is so unnoticeable that I missed this also on my first examination). Much nicer than it sounds and certainly an acceptable copy for the collector--and at an attractive price.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good +. 8vo - over 7¾" -… Read More
