ELLIS, Bret Easton. American Psycho
ELLIS, Bret Easton. American Psycho. London: Picador. 1998. 8vo. First hardcover edition, first printing. Publisher’s black cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket. A superb example, boards a trifle bumped, but the binding tight and square, the contents fine. The dust jacket a second issue with price of £14.99, not £10.00. A trifle bumped at corners, but with virtually none of the toning to the spine usually encountered.
The author’s magnum opus, a staple of modern literature and a defining book of the 90s. The first edition was published in paperback in 1991, and Picador finally produced a hardcover in 1998, likely with the knowledge that Mary Harron and Guinevere Turner had begun writing a screenplay. The film helped elevate the book into cultish status. Another adaptation by Luca Guadagnino is in development. Fine copies are scarce.
