Money Mountain James Magnuson Doubleday & Company 1984 Stated first edition Former library copy in otherwise excellent condition. Dust jacket remains remarkably well preserved for an ex-library example, with no institutional markings to the jacket itself and only light general handling wear. Rear endpapers retain the original library pocket and checkout slip, with additional stamps and small remnants confined primarily to the preliminaries and rear pastedown. Text block is clean overall, binding remains tight and square, and the boards show only minor shelf wear. Jacket protected in an older Brodart-style adjustable cover. Attractive first printing in the publisher’s original orange paper-covered boards with blue cloth spine and gilt spine lettering. Complete dust jacket priced at $14.95. Printed in the United States with stated first edition on copyright page. The jacket design and Southwestern color palette pair nicely with the novel’s desert-treasure-hunt atmosphere. Includes promotional blurbs comparing the work to The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and referencing Magnuson’s earlier novel Open Season. A sharply written literary adventure novel blending Southwestern noir, greed, myth, and modern treasure-hunting into something both commercial and unusually intelligent. James Magnuson developed a devoted readership for his lean, atmospheric fiction, though many of his early hardcover firsts have become increasingly elusive in collectible condition.
