Sobre este artículo
First Hardcover Edition/First Printing of the author's first published work; A Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. A stunning copy of this debut novel from the author of the Travis McGee series, first published as a PB original in 1950, published in hardcover by Robert Hale in 1974; very scarce in today's market, particularly in this pristine condition. The book is in fine condition with a square, tight binding, bright silver lettering over clean black boards, and clean, white pages throughout; housed in a near fine price clipped dust jacket that is crisp and vibrant with only slight age-toning to the back panel and flaps, else Fine. Overall, a beautiful copy and a great addition to any MacDonald collection! Not remaindered, not ex-library; protected in a Mylar sleeve and will ship in a sturdy box.
Sinopsis
John D. MacDonald was an American novelist and short-story writer. His works include the Travis McGee series and the novel The Executioners, which was adapted into the film Cape Fear . In 1962 MacDonald was named a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America; in 1980, he won a National Book Award. In print he delighted in smashing the bad guys, deflating the pompous, and exposing the venal. In life, he was a truly empathetic man; his friends, family, and colleagues found him to be loyal, generous, and practical. In business, he was fastidiously ethical. About being a writer, he once expressed with gleeful astonishment, “They pay me to do this! They don’t realize, I would pay them.” He spent the later part of his life in Florida with his wife and son. He died in 1986.
