DUNNING, John. DEADLINE. Huntington Beach, CA: James Cahill, 1995. First
Edition. An early mystery by Dunning published originally in paperback
and here issued in hardcover for the first time in America in an edition
of 200 numbered and signed copies as well as a trade edition. This,
however, is one of only two ORIGINAL BLUES COPIES consisting of eight
loose prebound signatures, sometimes called a "check copy before
publication." It is sent from the printer to the publisher before a book
is printed so the publisher has the opportunity to see the layout of the
book before it is bound and published. If the publisher is happy with
the layout, the printer will print from one of the two blues copy. This
is THE PUBLISHER'S COPY from which the book was printed, the other copy
belonging to the author. This copy is also SIGNED by the author on the
title page. Obviously an extremely scarce state of this book. Fine in a
specially made cloth slipcase. (#010633) $1,500.00
