THE BLACK DAHLIA: Uncorrected Proof, Mysterious Press Fall 1987 Sampler, and First Edition by Ellroy, James - 1987

New York: The Mysterious Press, 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. All three volumes are inscribed by James Ellroy, with a postcard invitation to the book signing event laid in to the first edition, first printing. In this fictionalized treatment of the notorious unsolved murder case, Bucky Bleichert and Lee Blanchard, two L.A. cops obsessed with the Black Dahlia, journey through the seamy underside of Hollywood to the core of the dead girl's twisted life. Octavo, three volumes. The Uncorrected Proof is bound in the original printed peach paper wrappers. Containing the prologue and first two chapters of The Black Dahlia, the Fall 1987 Sampler is bound in the original printed red paper wrappers. The First Edition is pristine - a fine, unread copy in a fine dust jacket.
