THE BLACK BOOK ** True First US Edition ** Signed By the Author **

***** This is the true US edition, first printing (with "First Edition" stated on the copyright page, and with no later printings listed). This 1960 US edition is also the first hardcover edition ever printed (the first UK hardcover edition was not published until 1973). ***** This book is SIGNED and dated by the author on the front endpage. The author has not inscribed this book to anyone; it is just signed by the author. ***** Very nice hardcover with dust jacket. There is NO writing, NO bookplates, and NO remainder marks. It is NOT a book club edition and NOT a former library book. The dust jacket is NOT price-clipped ($4.95). ***** CONDITION: Both the book and dust jacket are in FINE condition. ***** We include new mylar (clear) dust jacket protectors with all books at no charge. ***** OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU: All books are guaranteed to be as described. We believe that no sale is complete until you are happy. Any book is returnable for a full refund (including postage) if you're not 100% satisfied. All books are packaged very carefully and shipped via USPS Mail with Delivery Confirmation. ***** Thank you! Richard Vick, Modern First Editions (Buying and Selling Modern First Editions since 1982).
