CAPOTE, Truman. In Cold Blood: A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences. London: Hamish Hamilton. 1966. 8vo. First British edition, first printing. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in silver gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket by S. Neil Fujita which matches the US edition. A very good copy. The cloth clean, the binding tight and very gently rolled. A couple of light stains to the textblock edges which is a trifle toned, but internally fine. The dust jacket unclipped (25s net) and complete, several small closed tears to extremities, rubbed and slightly snagged to some edges and joints, and some visible toning to the cream sections of panels.
One of the author’s best known works detailing the 1959 home invasion murders of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas. A foundational text for New Journalism and prototypical ‘true crime’ novel.
