First UK Hardcover Edition (True First); A Near Fine book in a Very Good or better dust jacket. An outstanding copy of the first hardcover appearance of Travis McGee, the first UK being published 10 years before the US edition. This copy is in Near Fine condition with only some slight rubbing to the spine ends and faint soiling to the text block, else fine; housed in a clean and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows some moderate rubbing and creasing at the spine ends, edges, and corners, one small closed tear at the spine foot, and some light soiling to the back panel. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy of an uncommon title. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
