Psycho. by BLOCH, Robert - 1959: An Inner Sanctum Mystery.

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1959. Signed by the author, rare with the jacket in such nice condition First edition, first printing, signed by the author on the half-title. Rare with the jacket in such nice condition. The work was the basis for Hitchcock's seminal film of the same title, released a year after the book was published. Octavo. Original cream cloth-backed back boards, title to spine in red. With dust jacket. A little foxing to endpapers, contents toned, as invariably happens. A near-fine copy in the exceptionally bright and sharp jacket, spine panel free from the rubbing to which it is so prone, tiny closed tear to foot of front panel, some faint foxing, head of rear panel a touch creased and nicked.
