AMERICAN PSYCHO: A Novel.

First hardcover edition, first printing. Publisher's original black paper-covered boards with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with very light spotting to the top and fore-edge of the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£10.00 to the lower front flap).

This is the first worldwide hardcover printing in English, a controversial contemporary classic previously only published as a paperback in America and the UK. The novel formed the basis for the 2000 psychological horror film directed by Mary Harron and starring Christian Bale as the murderous Patrick Bateman.
