Publisher's original black cloth-effect boards with spine lettered in silver. Purple end-papers. SIGNED & INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR TO THE TITLE PAGE. Boards exceedingly bright and clean. No previous owner inscriptions. Appears to be un-read. Spine tips pushed and bumped otherwise a close to fine copy with NO FOXING to the page block edges and scarce thus. The close to fine dustwrapper shows NO FADING whatsoever and is complete with no tears, wear or pieces missing. There is just a very slight hint of creasing to the spine. A particularly lovely copy. Signed and inscribed by the Author to the title page: "To Brian/ best wishes/ Brett Easton Ellis". Laid in is a flyer from the Signing Event held at Waterstone's Leadenhall Market in London. NB: This First British Hardback Edition represents the novel in its originally published form, issued in the UK after the book was dropped by its US publisher due to its extreme content. The basis for the 2000 black comedy horror film directed by Mary Harron who co-wrote the screenplay with Guinevere Turner starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman a wealthy New York investment banker who hides a psychopathic alter ego beneath a polished facade navigating 1980s greed, vanity and shallow social circles. A lovely inscribed copy of one of the most important novels of the last decade of the Twentieth Century. Further images upon request.
