Item description from seller

First edition, first printing. Hardcover in original dust jacket. LaBrava won the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 1984, and it's widely considered the book where Elmore Leonard fully arrived -- the one that made critics stop hedging and just call him a great American novelist. Leonard himself named it among his favorites. Set in South Miami Beach before the neighborhood became fashionable, it follows Joe LaBrava, ex-Secret Service agent turned street photographer, into a scam involving a faded movie actress, a Cuban hitman, and a confidence scheme that starts to look a lot like one of her old films. The dialogue is perfect. The whole thing runs like a movie you can hear. EDITION: First Edition, First Printing. Copyright page number line reads 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. PUBLISHER: Arbor House Publishing Company, New York, 1983 CONDITION: Book: Very Good. Quarter black cloth spine with gold lettering bright and clean. Red boards tight with minimal shelf wear. Pages clean and sound. Levinson's bookseller sticker to rear pastedown. Dust Jacket: Good. Significant chipping at the head of the DJ spine, with the red boards visible beneath. Minor corner chip to the rear panel. Front panel colors bold and unfaded. Original price of $14.95 intact and unclipped on front flap. The 1984 Edgar Award winner. A first printing of one of the most acclaimed American crime novels of the 20th century. Shipped with care via USPS Media Mail with tracking.

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.
