The book has one spot on the front cover near the bottom about the size of a pencil eraser. Spine is tight and straight. On the front inside endpage at the top right, there is an old sales price written in red ink, barely noticeable on the maroon colored page. Here's a sample of the story in the book:"On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues. Five years, four months and twenty-nine days later, on April 14, 1965, Richard Eugene Hickock, aged thirty-three, and Perry Edward Smith, aged thirty-six, were hanged for the crime on a gallows in a warehouse in the Kansas State Penitentiary in Lansing, Kansas. In Cold Blood is the story of the lives and deaths of these six people. It has already been hailed as a masterpiece." Excellent, collectible, and good book. A rare fine that you will want to add to your personal library and read too! Out of print. *11BC1
