Accompanied by a handsome photographic portrait of a bespectacled MacDonald, wearing a trenchcoat and holding his pipe (measuring 4.5" x 6.75").Complete run of MacDonald's color-coded crime novels featuring beach bum, ladies man, salvage expert, and all-around tough guy Travis McGee. In the twenty-one novels written over as many years, McGee fights crime and corruption throughout the seedy underbelly of Florida, with trips to Mexico and Caribbean.

A key installment in 20th century American crime fiction. Hubin, p.261.
