Richard Matheson – I Am Legend – First Paperback Edition 1954
£385.00
First paperback edition, first impression, published by Gold Medal Books in August 1954 and featuring cover art by Stan Melzoff. This is a very good copy. The true first edition of the novel, published some 16 years prior to the first hardcover edition that was issued in 1970. Some tanning to the pages and some wear to the spine tips and corners. Some rubbing to the corners. One neat name.
A classic of vampire literature and modern horror by one of the great talents in the field. Basis for three films: Last Man on Earth, Omega Man and I Am Legend. A most uncommon edition.
