The cornerstone of the "new journalism"--the nonfiction novel--of the late 1960s, this book remains the pinnacle of true-crime writing. Capote became obsessed with this case & the perpetrators of this horrific stranger killing of the entire Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas, in 1959. First serialized in the New Yorker in 1965, this is the Book Club Edition of the first hardcover edition from 1966, with rear blind stamp, no price on DJ, & book club review pamphlet laid in. Hardcover has maroon cloth-0covered boards with the author's initials embossed in gilt to front & gilt/silver lettering & ruling to spine. Condition is Near Fine: exceptionally clean & bright, , binding tight & square, pages evenly off-white with a hint of tanning. Former owner's address label pasted inside front cover. Exterior shows fading to all lower edges, corners crisp. The unclipped DJ is VG, with slight, but consistent, chipping to top & bottom edges & a few more significant chips/rubbed areas to both ends of spine & all corners; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover Free!
