Bound in an attractive quarter leather binding with elegant marbled boards and a rich blue topstain, this is a Fine copy (in a fine clear acetate dust jacket) of the true first edition (preceding the American first) of this mystery featuring Block's famed character, Matt Scudder, private investigator. SIGNED BY LAWRENCE BLOCK, and containing an appreciation by the noted horror author. Published by The Scorpion Press (which specializes in publishing signed limited edition crime fiction), Hope to Die was issued in a limited edition consisting of 99 numbered copies (bound in a special binding and signed by the author) and 15 de luxe lettered copies issued for private distribution. These limited editions are the only copies with the Straub appreciation, the same not appearing in the first trade edition. In his appreciation, Straub explores Block's Matt Scudder series in detail and, with keen insight, explains why Block's tales have strong parallels to Raymond Chandler's best work. This copy is number 20 (of 99). A very attractive copy of the rare true first edition, SIGNED BY LAWRENCE BLOCK.
