American Psycho
By Bret Easton Ellis
First UK hardcover edition, first impression. Signed and inscribed by the author to the title page: 'For Danny best wishes Bret Easton Ellis'. A novel that was censored in several countries due to the graphic nature of the violence it depicts and formed the basis for the popular 2000 film adaptation.
Originally published as a paperback in the US and UK in 1991 and, as a hardcover, by way of the present edition in the UK in 1998. A hardcover edition would not be issued in the US until some 14 years later in 2012.
Original black cloth with silver lettering to spine and dark blue endpapers and paste-downs. A lovely and clean example with only a very minor knock to bottom corner of upper board and mild compression to spine foot.
The original and unclipped dust jacket bears the correct '10.00' price, corresponding to the first issue. Some of the usual sunning to spine panel with a little edgewear to spine ends and a very tiny nick to foot of lower panel spine hinge.
A near fine copy of a novel that is uncommon inscribed.

Cujo
By Stephen King
First US edition, first impression. Signed, inscribed and dated by the author to the title page: 'With best wishes, Stephen King 4/14/94'. Winner of the British Fantasy Award in 1982 and adapted to film in 1983, two years after its publication in 1981, with a new Netflix adaptation reportedly in development.
Quarter-bound in black cloth over tan boards with lettering to spine in white and light brown and the author's initials to upper board in silver. Some spotting to top edge with a few far fainter and more isolated spots to bottom and fore-edges, else near fine and clean both internal and externally.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has some light to moderate wear to spine head and, far less so, to spine foot, else near fine and very well preserved.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
By Douglas Adams
First paperback edition, first impression. Inscribed by the author to the inside front cover: 'Best Wishes, Douglas Adams'. The paperback is the true first edition and precedes the hardback which was issued later in the same year.
Edges toned, as usual. Slight rubbing to extremities of wraps with the odd scratch to edges, otherwise an excellent example.
Adam's enduring iconic work based on the radio series of the same name. Rare with these attributes.
