Sobre este artículo
First UK Edition (First Hardcover Edition); A Very Good or better book in a Near Fine dust jacket. A handsome copy of this Travis McGee novel; this edition precedes the US first hardcover edition by 5 years. This copy is in very good or better condition showing some minor spotting to the top exterior text block and some mild rubbing to the board edges; housed in a clean and bright near fine dust jacket that shows only some light rubbing with a couple of tiny chips at the spine ends. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover 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. From the Trade Paperback edition.
