Before he created Hannibal Lecter, Thomas Harris wrote this high-octane "superthriller" about a terrorist plot to attack the Super Bowl. This 1976 Bantam edition is a classic example of 70s airport-novel aesthetics, featuring the iconic Goodyear blimp cover art and vibrant yellow-stained page edges. It remains one of the definitive suspense novels of the decade.
Overall Condition: Good
Front/Back Covers: The wraps show moderate shelf wear and "character." The front cover has localized surface scuffing and white "flecking" (ink loss) near the bottom edge. The back cover shows light rubbing and a faint blue ink smudge on the left side.
Spine: The spine is structurally square but shows visible vertical reading creases and some color chipping along the joints.
Binding: The mass market glue binding remains firm and tight.
Interior: The pages show uniform natural age-toning. A notable feature is the vibrant yellow-stained text block edges, which remain bright. The text is clean with no visible marks.
Notable Defects: Moderate spine creasing; surface ink loss on the front cover illustration; light scuffing to the corners and edges.
