[Allington Books]

Allington Antiquarian Books, LLC offers the following:


*Discounted today from $225 to $65.*

*Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.*

A Very Good copy of the *TRUE FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING *of the trade
edition, in a Very Good dust jacket, *SIGNED BY JOHN BERENDT* on a sticker
affixed to the front free endpaper; Berendt's *DEBUT BOOK, nominated (and a
finalist) for a Pulitzer Prize*.  The book was an instant success and
became (in its time) the longest-standing New York Times best-seller.
Based on real-life events that took place in the 1980's, the book provided
the basis for the 1997 movie of the same name starring Kevin Spacey and
John Cusack and directed by Clint Eastwood.  The book centers on a murder
and the subsequent trial of an art collector, bon vivant, and simi-closeted
homosexual named Jim Williams (the Kevin Spacey character -- a now ironic
choice for the role).  A Very Good copy of the *TRUE FIRST EDITION, FIRST
PRINTING IN THE FIRST STATE DUST JACKET*, *SIGNED BY JOHN BERENDT*.

This copy has all of the points required to be a first edition, first
printing of the book in the first state of the dust jacket.  Some copies
listed on the web as firsts do not meet all these requirements.
