Truman Capote’s groundbreaking true-crime classic In Cold Blood appears here in a hard-to-find 1966 first edition hardcover, complete with its original dust jacket and a personal handwritten inscription inside. The gripping narrative reconstructs the 1959 Kansas farm murders that shocked America and launched the modern nonfiction novel.

Collectors prize this debut printing for its historical weight and literary influence; the volume shows honest age—edge tears, chips, and clipping to the jacket, plus prior-owner names on the front endpapers and occasional thumb marks throughout the text. None of the wear obscures readability, and the binding remains solid, making the book both a readable copy and a shelf-statement piece.

Ideal for devotees of Capote, true-crime buffs, or anyone curating vintage literary gems, this inscribed first-state copy offers a tangible link to the moment narrative journalism was forever changed.
