There are many, many lesser copies out there; the internet is rife with Ex Lib editions, later printings (selling for $100s!), book club editions, and many other dubious offerings - so be very wary. This is a superb collector copy with BIN a good $200 less than copies in equivalent condition. Reasonable offers reasonably considered! If you love books and mysteries, this is a must have.

No. $19.95 REMAINDER MARKS? OWNER STAMPS? WRITING IN BOOK? No. No. No. FIRST PRINTING ? Yes, complete number line. PUBLISHER, YEAR Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1992 IN BRODART PROTECTOR ? Yes. PRICE RANGE FOR BOOKS OF SAME QUALITY AS FOUND ON LINE I'll be the first to admit that I don't understand the sometimes wild variation in pricing found online; maybe it can be explained by slight variation in condition, different overhead, or just sheer optimism! I have noticed though, that a $20 F/F is usually not as F/F as a $100 one! The low price quoted at right is one of the lowest prices found  online as quoted by a known, reputable, rated dealer. $600+   Watch out for those $600 SECOND printings!     NOTES A truly lovely collector copy! Text block quite tight clean and square. Boards straight with sharp points. Dust jacket flawless.          I am liquidating some of my library of first editions, mostly mysteries. I am not a book dealer and these are my personal books purchased over the past 20 years or so. My home is smoke-free and the books have been well cared for. ABE Books is a good place to search or compare prices for wanted books, instantly accessing tens of thousands of book dealers.      When comparing prices online, though, be sure that you are comparing equivalent products - be aware of poorer condition, book club (BCE) editions, ex library books, not true firsts (eg. in English language, sometimes the UK edition may be the true first, even for an American author and vice-versa), First Thus (a re-printing that's revised, re-issued or with a new publisher), and later printings (printings other than the first, eg. 2nd, 3rd, or later usually have little value). ANY of the above factors dramatically reduce the book's value. BTW, good (G) ain't good and very good (VG) sometimes isn't!  The book(s) will be shipped in bubble wrap and inside a sturdy box. Note: I ship worldwide from Toronto, Canada and will charge you the exact amount by the shipping method of your choice! Insurance is optional but recommended! There is a very small handling fee ($3) to cover the cost of book boxes, bubble wrap, tape, labels etc. This fee is waived for bids over $50.
