In Cold Blood. First edition, signed limited issue, number 140 of 500 copies signed by the author and specially bound. A trade edition was published the same year. In Cold Blood is one of the most influential "true crime" novels ever written. In 2011, Kate Colquhoun reviewed the work as "vivid, painstakingly constructed, simultaneously fevered and lingeringly sad... a transfixing read. In 1966, this was a new kind of journalism; now, Capote's revolutionary and compelling approach to narrative non-fiction has been much copied, but rarely bettered".
