Soft cover. Condition: As New. No Jacket. Cover painting by Harper Johnson (illustrator). Dell 940, "A Dell Western / First Dell Printing -- March, 1957." First printing of the first paperback edition after the 1956 Houghton-Mifflin hardcover. This copy signed -- full name only-- by Elmore Leonard to title page. Lovely turquoise topstain. Signed early copies are quite scarce, and note that even several high-priced and supposedly "signed" hardcovers are really signed only in the sense that they have a "signed bookplate laid in," meaning there's no evidence the author ever saw or handled those particular volumes. Condition of this copy as new unread, with no creases, no spine roll. 192 pp. Reduced from $550. Signed by Author(s).
