Amongst Gary’s collection of first edition crime fiction books we found a stash of dustwrappers. They are all beautiful. A portion look like they could be publisher file copies, though we can’t be sure. The condition is very good but please see images for further details.
Gary Gorton lived most of his adult life in Asia. For fun he collected any book listed in Hubin’s Crime Fiction: A Comprehensive Bibliography. The books he collected had to be first editions in dustwrapper and in very good condition.
