Interview with the Vampire (Vampire Chronicles) by Rice, Anne - 1976

Alfred A. Knopf, 1976. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is a solid very good book in very good dust jacket (read further desc). Signed/inscribed by Anne Rice. Anne Rice helped begin the re-imagining of the Vampire genre with her Vampire Chronicles. This is her first published novel. The Chronicles, featuring her character Lestat, have been adapted into several films. As well, Anne Rice has written several other series in the horror genre along with some historical fiction and erotica. Several of those have been adapted to film also. Top page-edge stained red (as published). The book itself is slightly cocked (see image). The binding is firm. Edges and tips are rubbed, but to be expected with a book almost 40 years old. The gold foil dj is still attractive, showing rubbing and edge creasing, primarily to spine ends and flap folds. Backside minor tape reinforcement to spine ends (see image). Pictures shown give a god overview of this volume. The dj is covered in a brodart, and book will ship in acid-free archival bag for first line of defense. Overall, while a copy with minor flaws, this is still a presentable and IMO gift or collection quality copy of a rare first edition, additionally signed by Anne Rice. Preserved in an acid-free archival bag.
