"Murder is rough, exciting, dirty work no matter where you find it." Mike Hammer is on the hunt for justice  and vengeance once again in this very good copy of the 1950 first edition of Vengeance is Mine! The E. P. Dutton, New York first printing signed and inscribed by Mickey Spillane on the copyright page: "Hi Barry Zeman(?) – Now, at the turn of the century – we're getting ready to make a movie out of this one! Mickey Spillane".  The Author's third book and third in the Mike Hammer series. Condition: 8vo 255 pages - Publishers' blue paper boards with blindstamped E.P. Dutton mark on cover; pictorial jacket. Moderate cloth wear, corners rubbed, softening with a small split to the cheap paper spine tips, slight spine lean, darkening to the spine with sunning to the edges, some spotting to the top edge. The interior is clean with some offsetting to the front and rear free endpapers. The iconic H.L. Hoffman designed dust jacket with the I, The Jury and My Gun is Quick reviews on the back cover is still in very good condition with the $2.50 price on the lower front flap. Chipping to the edges and spine tips, some paper loss to the lower back cover. Some sunning to the spine and tape repairs to the verso. Overall, a very good and scarce signed copy of this early Mickey Spillane murder mystery.
