Sobre este artículo
New York:: David McKay Company, Inc. / Ives Washburn, Inc., 1977. A tight copy. The Dust Jacket has minor rubbing at the extremities, and a few short closed tears. There is a light brown spot, smaller than a 50 cent coin, on the jacket's rear panel. NOT price clipped (7.95). The Dust Jacket is now protected by a Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are clean and unmarked, but as usual are browning a little (age-toned). First printing, with complete number row (10 987654321) on the copyright page. Bound in the original red boards, lettered in black on the spine. The author's first book, and first in the influential Sharon McCone mystery series. THIS IS THE BOOK THAT STARTED IT ALL. Before V. I. Warshawski, and before Kinsey Millhone, there was the hardboiled contemporary female P.I. Sharon McCone. "Marcia Muller is widely credited as the first American author to write a detective series starring a woman private eye. In 1977 EDWIN OF THE IRON SHOES launched the career of Sharon McCone" -- Willetta Heising (p. 105 in DETECTING WOMEN, A READER'S GUIDE, 1995). From the Dust Jacket: "Sharon McCone is a female private eye who bears little resemblance to Miss Marple. She's young and tough and stubborn, and her striking good looks reflect her one-eighth American Indian ancestry. Employed as an investigator in San Francisco by a bohemian legal cooperative, she is summoned to the scene of the crime when a client, a small-time antique shop proprietor, is found murdered, stabbed with a valuable bone-handled dagger from one of her own display cases.". First Printing of the First Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good+ condition/Very Good dust jacket.. 8vo. (x), 178pp..

Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well.

Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
