1974. Two typed notes signed with instructions regarding advance copies of The Godwulf Manuscript. Together with press releases for God Save the Child, Mortal Stakes, Promised Land, and The Judas Goat, with author photos for the latter two titles. Early correspondence by an author whose books at one point came to dominate the mystery genre, and to help it gain a credibility and respectability that it had previously lacked. The Godwulf Manuscript was Parker's first book, introducing the private eye Spenser. The long-running series spawned television shows, and it continued after Parker's death with other writers adding to Spenser's tales. Publisher's notation to one note, else fine. [#036726] $450
