MARATHON MAN / WILLIAM GOLDMAN / 1974 FIRST EDITION 1ST PRINT HC + UNCLIPPED DJ

Description: An American graduate student's life becomes entangled in a dangerous international conspiracy involving Nazi war criminals in this 1974 novel from renowed screenwriter William Goldman. While MARATHON MAN was a critically acclaimed novel, the 1976 film adaptation, directed by John Schlesinger, is perhaps even more well-known. The movie starred Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier and received widespread praise for its breakneck pacing, star turns from its principals, and one iconic scene featuring Olivier's chilling character, Christian Szell. MARATHON MAN: A Novel, by William Goldman. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover, 1974. New York: Delacorte Press. Fully bound in publisher's black cloth with gilt brozne and silver lettering stamped to spine and Goldman's signature reproduced on front panel; red pastedowns and endpapers; deckled fore edge; red topstain; octavo; 309 pp. A good to very good first printing. Minor shelf wear to cloth-covered boards, toning to text block, and previous owner name written on pastedowns. Otherwise, a great copy with straight boards, square spine, tight binding, and a clean, unblemished interior with crisp pages free of writing. Comes in a good to very good illustrated dust jacket with minor edge wear to head and tail of spine and fading to spine, else great. NOT price-clipped ($7.95 original price). Now protected in archival mylar. A collectible book that's now part of pop culture history.
