The New York Trilogy: City of Glass, Ghosts, The Locked Room [Signed Set]

Los Angeles: Sun & Moon Press, 1985-1986. First Editions. First Printings, trade issue. Three octavo volumes (20.5cm); navy blue cloth, with titles stamped in gilt on spines; dustjackets; [6],7-203,[5]; [6],7-96,[8]; [6],7-179,[5]pp. Each volume has been signed by Auster on the title page. Slight lean to City of Glass, all volumes with some trivial external wear, else clean, and very Near Fine in Near Fine dustjackets, showing some very mild surface wear; City of Glass is in the correct first printing dustjacket, without the publisher's logo at the base of spine.

An attractive set of the late author's series of interconnected detective novels, a blend of metafiction and mystery. The books were later collected into a single volume and published as The New York Trilogy by Faber & Faber in 1987, and by Sun & Moon Press in 1994. 84605. (Inventory #: 84605)
