The Long Goodbye-Raymond Chandler-First/1st Book Club Edition-HC w/ Org DJ-RARE!

Description: Up for sale is a Very Rare, First Book Club Edition, (BCE), of The Long Goodby by Raymond Chandler. A 20 Century Classic and Basis for the Popular Film!! First BCE's of this Title are Scarce and Becoming Increasingly Hard to Find!! Hardcover with its original, beautifully illustrated dust jacket. Published by Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1954. Please note that while "1954" is clearly stated on the copyright page, this copy was most assuredly published sometime after that date! Exact date unknown, presumably published sometime in the 1960's? A First American Book Club Edition, (BCE). Please remember this is NOT the First Edition/First Printing of this title! This is a BCE, essentially an early reprint. Once again, this is NOT a First Edition/First Printing. This rare treasure has some VERY clearly visible wear, but is still in Highly Desirable, Highly Collectible condition! The wear, however, is considerable and should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. The book appears gently read and has no internal writing, no remainder marks, no missing pages and is NOT Ex-Libris. The binding is holding tight and the pages are still surprisingly crisp and clean! Some general/shelf wear along with a noticeable lean/slant, creases/scuffing/wear to the spine/corners/boards, toning/discoloration to the pages, and marks/creases/wear to some of the pages, NOT affecting the text! Please note the wear to the spine/corners/boards, particularly noticeable near/along the edges, and the wear that is present on some of the pages, particularly noticeable on certain pages! The marks are VERY large and pronounced on certain pages! The wear is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. The original dust jacket is fully intact but has considerable wear! Some general/shelf wear along with creases, scuffing, marks and rips resulting in some loss of paper! Please note the wear on the spine, at the corners and near/along the edges! The wear, particularly on the spine and near/along the edges, is very clearly visible and should be carefully examined/considered. We tend to grade the condition of our books rather harshly and took into consideration any and all wear when determining the value of this rare book. We purposely and closely photographed what we consider to be the most obvious and egregious wear. Once again, we want to reiterate that the wear to both the book and the dust jacket is VERY clearly visible! All of the wear should be carefully examined/considered BEFORE buying. Numerous photographs from various angles were taken for your consideration/inspection. Please closely and carefully view ALL the pictures for further clarification!! Following the conclusion of the auction, payment must be received within three days or the book will be re-listed. Please feel free to contact us with any and all questions. We are very proud of our 100% positive feedback/ranking and offer an easy, no questions asked return policy so you can buy with confidence! Thank you!!
