First, ARC, Short Typescript

Freezer Burn [First + Proof]

Lansdale, Joe R

Publication: New York: Mysterious Press, 1999. First Edition.

Notes: A bungling burglar hides out with the denizens of a traveling freak show. Classic Lansdale weirdness.

This is a set assembled by the collector Tom Garner, who housed an advance reading copy (ARC), a first edition, and a seventeen-leaf dot-matrix printout of the beginning of the novel in a custom clamshell box.

Edition + Condition: The first (with a numberline ending in 1) is fine in a fine dust jacket and signed by Lansdale. The ARC is fine in decorated wrappers and inscribed, "To Tom—Thanks for supporting these million books! Joe R. Lansdale." The typescript is titled and signed by the author, "Freezer Burn (work in progress) Joe R. Lansdale. A quick comparison to the published text did not reveal any obvious changes. Still, a nice grouping.
