The Doom of the Haunted Opera

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Dial Books for Young Readers, 1995. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good+. Gorey, Edward. Author's last book, completed by long-time fan Strickland following his untimely death. This is another thriller set in an abandoned theater, again featuring Lewis Barnavelt (from "The Vengeance of the Witch-Finder"). This series is highly collectible because Edward Gorey illustrated the colorful DJ & black-and-white frontispiece. A FIRST EDITION, First Printing (with statement & appropriate number line), this is a gorgeous copy in Near Fine condition with a VG+ DJ. Only flaw to the book is an old gift inscription in pen inside the front cover; NO other writing/underlining/highlighting; not ex-lib. The price-clipped DJ is downgraded to VG+ due to extremely minor edgewear at top outer corners & along top edge; beautifully protected in new archival mylar cover.Please see our photos: they show the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have on hand!
