John D. MacDonald – Condominium – First Edition 1977
£30.00
A first edition, first printing of Condominium by John D. MacDonald, published by Hale, London in 1977. A near fine book signed by a previous owner in blue ink to the front free end paper, slightly bowed boards, with pushing to the spine tips, crease to the spine, some handling wear to front and rear boards, text blocks bright and crisp. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with fading to the spine, some bumping to extremities and browning to rear panel and flap folds.
Condominium by John D. MacDonald is a gripping eco-thriller set in Florida, exposing corruption, greed and environmental recklessness. The novel follows residents of a luxury condominium who unknowingly live in a structurally unsound building, built by profiteers cutting corners. As a devastating hurricane approaches, tensions rise, revealing personal dramas and systemic failures. MacDonald masterfully blends suspense, social criticism and disaster fiction, warning about unchecked development and the fragile balance between nature and human ambition.
