The Collector
London: Jonathan Cape, (1963).
Price: $950.00
Hardcover. First edition. Fine in an about fine, first issue dustwrapper (without the reviews) with a couple of minute rub marks. The author's first book, a masterful account of obsession which was the basis for the William Wyler film with Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar. Significantly nicer than usually encountered.
