Macdonald, Ross. (Pseudonym of Kenneth Millar). THE GALTON CASE. New York: Knopf, 1959. First edition. 8vo. This copy is inscribed by Macdonald in the month of publication to Marshall McLuhan: "With memories of a summer I wish we could repeat. Affectionately Ken." McLuhan was a visiting professor in 1958 and Macdonald gave him the typescript of "The Galton Case" to read. McLuhan subsequently wrote to Macdonald: "Hey, Ken Millar, you've done a doughty deed and no botch in this Galton case ... can't ever remember this Oedipal reversal in a detective ever." An outstanding association copy linking two Canadian intellectual innovators. Fine in a fine, unfaded dust jacket that shows ever-so-light use. Hardcover
