The Collector by John Fowles. First American Edition. 1963. Published by Little, Brown And Company.
Near Fine Condition with original unclipped dust jacket. Appears to be unread, tightly bound and clean pages. Back of the dust jacket is the only place that shows wear, with some spotting on the back. Otherwise a beautifully preserved copy.
Hailed as the first modern psychological thriller, The Collector is the internationally bestselling novel that catapulted John Fowles into the front rank of contemporary novelists. This tale of obsessive love–the story of a lonely clerk who collects butterflies and of the beautiful young art student who is his ultimate quarry–remains unparalleled in its power to startle and mesmerize.
