About This Item
First edition hardcover, with dust jacket, published by Harper & Row, 1989. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. The story of Wade Whitehouse, part-time policeman in a small New Hampshire town, who descends into a spiral of despair and violence. Basis for the film of the same title directed by Paul Schrader, released in 1997. This is not a remainder, not a library discard. The dust jacket has been protected with a clear, removable cover. Bright blue boards over brown cloth covered spine with the author and title imprinted in blue. Boards are flat, and the corners are not bumped or creased. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. Edges of the text block are relatively clean with just a couple dots of a stain on the top edge near the spine, about the size of sesame seeds. Binding is tight and square. Attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
