The Musical: From the Inside Out
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1991. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine / Near Fine/Fine. Item #008573
ISBN: 0340496576
8vo., 336pp. Beautiful First Edition. Square tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. Perhaps a hint of bumping to the spine ends but quite minor. Page edges just starting to tone though not nearly as bad as seemingly most Hodder titles from this period. Equally attractive unclipped, dust-jacket, (£17.95), has a touch of edge-wear but is fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or tears. Inscribed and Signed by the author on the front end-paper to Mystery author Donald Westlake, "For Donald Westlake, With best wishes and in the hope "Vanities" is a smash. Sincerely, Stephen Citron". "Vanities" refers to "Murder at the Vanities" (1990-1991), a musical mystery for the stage that was never produced. (Wikipedia) A gorgeous collectable association copy.
