Condition is fine, factory sealed and never opened. Absolutely no damage whatsoever. A genuinely rare find on the secondary market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThomas Harris’s novels have sold more than 50 million copies, with The Silence of the Lambs alone selling 10 million copies as of 2019. When the 1991 film adaptation was released it became an instant hit and swept the Big Five at the Academy Awards, becoming only the third movie in history to do so, winning Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Harris’s works, particularly The Silence of the Lambs, significantly shaped the representation of serial killers in fiction, moving away from sensationalism toward a more realistic and nuanced portrayal, establishing a new standard for the psychological thriller genre that endures to this day. Harris himself is famously reclusive, giving no interviews between 1976 and 2019, adding an air of mystery that only enhances the allure of his work for collectors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Easton Press fine leather binding in factory sealed new condition makes this one of the most desirable pieces in this entire collection, combining one of the most culturally significant novels of the late 20th century with the finest collectible book production available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67748677976429,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1019\/4645\/8477\/files\/IMG_1464.HEIC-Edited.png?v=1792513491"},{"product_id":"the-thin-man-by-dashiell-hammett-easton-press-2005","title":"The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett | Easton Press 2005","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Thin Man\u003c\/em\u003e by Dashiell Hammett, published by Easton Press, 2005.
