Item description from seller

The First Edition of Daphne du Maurier's "The Flight of the Falcon" states "First Edition in the United States of America" on the copyright page. Published by Doubleday & Company, Garden City, New York, 1965. By 1965, Daphne du Maurier needed no introduction. Rebecca had made her one of the most famous novelists in the English-speaking world, and The Flight of the Falcon was marketed in exactly those terms, "In the great tradition of Rebecca, My Cousin Rachel, and The Scapegoat, a new masterpiece of haunting atmosphere and hypnotic suspense." This is a du Maurier novel of obsession and identity: a young Italian courier becomes entangled in a murder in Rome, a woman who inexplicably stirs his memory. His search for her identity leads him back to Ruffano, the hill town he fled as a boy during the retreating German army's final days in Italy. It's a town haunted by a 500-year-old legend of cruelty, and by something far more immediate and personal. The atmosphere is pure du Maurier: beautiful, unsettling, and suffused with the Gothic dread she perfected across four decades. This copy carries a lovely Christmas inscription: "Dear Grandy, We hope you enjoy this book, and have a very Merry Christmas. Love Always, Robyn & Mike," dated December 25, 1965, gifted the same year of publication. First Edition in the United States of America. Copyright © 1965 by Daphne du Maurier. Published by Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, New York. LC Card 65-10613. 301 pages. Jacket by Casey Lubin. Serialized in Good Housekeeping Magazine. Book is in Very Good condition, with deep rust/orange cloth boards over green cloth, binding tight and square throughout, pages toned throughout with age (as expected for a 60-year-old copy), otherwise clean and unmarked except for the Christmas inscription on the FFEP.

Protected in mylar. Condition: Very Good / Good DJ A genuine first edition of a du Maurier Gothic thriller, given as a Christmas gift the year it was published.

Description de la boutique

You're building something specific. Not just a shelf of books: a library with atmosphere. The kind of room that feels like it has a history before you walked into it. The problem is finding the real thing. The vintage market is full of book club editions dressed up as first printings, reprints with no dust jackets, and sellers who grade "Good" when they mean "survived a flood." It's time-consuming, confusing, and easy to overpay. That's where I come in. I'm Rob. I worked in the archive stacks at UW's Suzzallo Library. Gothic reading rooms, stained glass, the kind of place where books feel like they matter. I've been authenticating and grading vintage editions ever since. Now I spend weekends hunting first editions at estate sales across Northern California: literary horror, classic sci-fi, and Gothic fiction from the 1960s–1980s. The books that actually built the Dark Academia aesthetic, not the modern reprints cashing in on it. Every book in my shop has been verified for edition and graded honestly. Sometimes brutally. You'll know exactly what you're getting before it ships. Your order arrives wrapped in tissue paper with a wax seal sticker. Because the details matter, and you're not buying shelf filler. If you're building a library that looks like it belongs in a Victorian study instead of a big-box store, you're in the right place. Browse the collection.
