First Edition, Modern First Editions, Signed First Editions
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.
