Description: Patterson, James - The Thomas Berryman Number - Little, Brown: Boston, 1976 - First Edition / First Printing - “First Edition” stated on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. “When I was 26, I wrote my first mystery, 'The Thomas Berryman Number', and it was turned down by, I don't know, 31 publishers. Then it won an Edgar for Best First Novel. Go figure.” - James Patterson The book has a hint of shelf wear to the spine ends but is in all honesty as nice as can be found anywhere. The boards could not be any straighter, the lettering on the spine is as fresh as the day it was stamped, the binding is square and firm, and internally the block is free of writing or other markings. The dust jacket has some tanning and a small stain to the upper corner of the rear flap. There are no tears, no chips, and none of the other common flaws. A beautiful example of a book which has always been scarce in any condition— much less this nice. The beloved author’s first title, a work which is still obscure despite having won the Edgar Award for best first novel. All books are offered with a full 30 day postage paid return policy. All books which are in dust jackets will be mailed with a clear archival dust jacket protector fitted. Shipping costs can be combined if multiple purchases are made.
