Nice copy in its first printing signed by author on front endpaper. Unmarked, tight and square. Tweed boards are clean and fresh with pretty sharp tips. Surprisingly well preserved and scarce in this condition. Price intact jacket has fairly light wear at spine ends culminating in narrow chips along front gutter. Author signed in blue felt pen the following: ""Hi - Great to say hello! Mickey Spillane"". Fairly short crease on rear flap of jacket but back panel and flaps are close to fine. In mylar. Size: 8vo - over 7¾"" - 9¾"" tall
