Macdonald, Ross. (Pseudonym of Kenneth Millar). ARCHER IN JEOPARDY
New York: Knopf, 1979. First collected edition. 8vo. Includes a previously unpublished autobiographical foreword by the author. Collects The Doomsters, The Zebra-Striped Hearse, and The Instant Enemy. This copy is signed by Macdonald.
Laid in is the heavily corrected typescript of the introduction to the book. The three-page manuscript manifests numerous inked corrections and emendations as well as a holograph opening paragraph. As such, the narrative is a storm-tossed journey back into the emotional waves that roiled a young boy, who was separated from his parents and passed on to a succession of relatives. More than 600 words of rueful remembrance that concludes on an optimistic note.
Fine in a fine dust jacket. Hardcover.
