New York: Random House, 1969. First Edition, First Printing. Near Fine Hardcover in a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Near Fine/Near Fine.
SIGNED with an Inscription to prior owner by author Donald E. Westlake on the title page.
First edition (preceding the UK edition by a couple of years). Near fine, in near fine unclipped jacket. Dampstain at heel of spine, visible on verso of jacket, a little toning to jacket spine.
The American first is a difficult find and rarely seen signed. Donald E. Westlake was one of the most prolific and talented authors of American crime fiction. He began his career in the late 1950's, churning out novels for pulp houses. His writing earned him three Edgar Awards and was the recipient of the Grandmaster award.
Westlake's gimmicky title was a necessity of the time as was his collecting of madcap characters, but the humor is timeless. In this novel the crime is little more than a prop for the heavy doses of comedic elements. Westlake kicks Hollywood down and then stomps for effect.

A fine copy of Russell Kirk's (1918-1994) memoirs, signed by his wife, Annette Kirk, to whom he dedicated the book. Widely celebrated as a founding father of modern intellectual conservatism, Russell Kirk-the Sage of Mecosta-set out in The Sword of Imagination to describe his participation in the intellectual, social, philosophical, and political contests of the twentieth century. Kirk wrote the book in the third person in order to tell the story of a young boy coming of age in the railroad yards outside of Detroit and maturing into one of the most influential political minds of his generation. Perhaps best remembered for his movement-defining book The Conservative Mind (1953), throughout his life Kirk wielded…
