[Back Creek Books]

Greetings Booklovers,

We are pleased to offer:
~
(No. 9528 )  Clancy, Tom. THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER (FIRST PRINTING, SIGNED).
Annapolis: Naval Institute Press, (1984). First printing, Full cloth, 
Octavo, [vi], 387 pages. Very Good in a Very Good Dust Jacket, Jacket in 
Mylar protector.
      CIA analyst Jack Ryan makes his debut, playing a hunch that Soviet 
submarine captain Marko Ramius is trying to defect with his navy's new 
silently-propelled ballistic-missile sub. Clancy's first book, INSCRIBED and 
SIGNED by him on half title page. Definitely a Cold War fiction high spot. 
We're not one of those booksellers who plays around calling 13th printings 
"First editions." This is an actual first printing of the actual first 
edition with all the points as called for in various references (correct 
number of lines on copyright page, correct number of reviews in proper order 
on rear jacket panel, no jacket price, proper weight, etc.) Bound in brick 
red cloth over boards with silver stamped spine lettering and blind stamped 
submarine with hammer and sickle to upper board, spine lettered in silver 
foil, ISBN in silver foil on lower board, gray endpapers. Shallow rubs at 
spine ends and a small cluster of faint brown specks on fore edge of 
textblock. Jacket has some shallow edge wrinkles and light rubs.    $750.00
