By David Morrell
 
A signed and numbered limited edition set. Borderlands Press and Gauntlet Press, 2015–2017.
 
Three octavo volumes. Original black boards, spines lettered in silver and gilt, the set housed in the publisher’s uniform black slipcase with textured stone effect, the spine panel inset with a wooden plaque lettered and decorated in black. Issued in dust jackets featuring artwork by Harry O. Morris and Asha Hossain.
 
All three volumes and jackets are in fine condition, the bindings square and firm, with crisp lettering to the spines and clean, unmarked pages throughout.
 
The slipcase is likewise in fine condition, showing only the most negligible shelf wear to the bottom, the wooden inset panel clean and unfaded.
 
Each volume is signed by the author and numbered from a limitation of 500 copies: First Blood numbered 352; Rambo: First Blood Part II numbered 105; Rambo III numbered 260.
 
A handsome and cohesive signed limited set from Borderlands Press and Gauntlet Press, bringing together Morrell’s complete Rambo trilogy.
 
First Blood - originally published in 1972 - introduced one of the most enduring figures in modern American popular fiction, later immortalised on screen by way of a series of timeless and popular action films; the present edition incorporates substantial new introductions and supplementary material by Morrell not previously published.
 
A visually attractive and well-executed production that is of evident collectible significance for those attentive to the iconic character’s development across the trilogy.
