Condition Report: Near Fine. This copy presents in remarkably sharp, collectible condition. The binding is firm and square, featuring unworn quarter black cloth over bright red paper boards with crisp silver foil lettering to the spine. The text block is immaculate and unread, displaying a lightly deckled fore-edge and clean, bright pages entirely free from foxing, handling marks, or previous ownership inscriptions. The original dust jacket (retaining the US $22.95 price on the rear barcode panel) is equally exceptional, exhibiting only the faintest trace of shelf-wear to the extreme spine ends, while maintaining vivid, unfaded colours across all panels.

Catalogue Note: This is a true first US edition, first printing of Jeff Lindsay's Dearly Devoted Dexter, the second novel in the celebrated series that inspired the acclaimed television show. The copyright page presents a complete number line from 10 down to 1, alongside the "First Edition" statement and "August 2005" publication date, confirming its early state.

Sourcing a pristine first printing of the original US edition, complete with a sharply preserved dust jacket, is becoming increasingly uncommon for modern crime fiction collectors.

Following the immense success of Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Jeff Lindsay returns with another chillingly comedic adventure featuring Miami’s most lovable serial killer. In Dearly Devoted Dexter, our charming blood-spatter analyst is doing his best to play the normal, domesticated boyfriend to his cheerful girlfriend, Rita. However, his "Dark Passenger" is growing restless. When a new, unimaginably sadistic killer emerges in Miami, one whose methodical dismemberments shock even the hardened police department, Dexter finds himself reluctantly drawn into the hunt. Forced to outmanoeuvre a highly suspicious Sergeant Doakes while tracking a monster whose depravity rivals his own, Dexter must rely on his razor-sharp instincts to survive the city’s latest macabre game of cat and mouse.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
