Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+ condition. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dust jacket. First Printing of the First Edition. 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.

Book First Edition
Condition: Fine in about fine jacket. First edition. Inscribed first printing of Muller's influential first novel, introducing her most famous character, San Francisco private detective Sharon McCone. With Sue Grafton and Sara Paretsky, Muller was one of the earliest and most influential woman suspense writers to work outside the boundaries of the 'cozy' murder mystery; certainly among the first to be recognized for it. Famously described by Grafton as the "founding mother" of their shared school of detective fiction, Muller's patience with the categorization soon grew thin, as a recent interviewer discovered: "'The founding mother of the contemporary female private eye.' With a sigh and a patient smile Marcia Muller repeats the words. 'Both of us are so sick of that but it just keeps getting used.'" Unfortunately for the author, it's a very good quote. A handsome copy of a genre-changing text. 8'' x 5.5''x. Original red cloth. In original unclipped ($7.95) dust jacket. 178 pages. Inscribed on front free endpaper: "For Al, with mysterious best wishes, Marcia Muller 11-3-84." Pages uniformly toned; minor scuffing and a few very small closed tears to jacket.
