New York: Viking Penguin, 1990. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. A nationally recognized poet and teacher as well as the author of a highly-praised mystery series, it's not unexpected that poetry occasionally finds its way into his novels featuring Saratoga Springs PI Charlie Bradshaw. In this bibliomystery, Charlie finds himself with three different cases involving poetry, bad poetry and murder. A remainder mark on the bottom edge of the text and a two-inch high "X" in black marker scrawled on the inside back cover with one of the line extending on to the dj's back flap, o/w except for a touch of soiling, boards and text are clean, tight and square. The dustjacket shows some minor rubbing and light scratching primarily on the back panel, no tears, no creasing or chipping, not price-clipped.
