The Deer Hunter. By E. M. Corder. First Edition, First Printing. Exeter. New York, 1979.

The Deer Hunter was a major film in 1978. It was a box office success and hailed by critics as one of the best films ever made. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won five, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor. It also had an all-star cast, including Robert De Niro, Meryl Streep, and Christopher Walken. In response, the studios decided to publish this novelization of the script. It is a rare example of a film being adapted to a novel. For any fan of the film, it is a charming volume, reminding readers of that impactful drama reflecting on the Vietnam War and small town American life.

This first edition, first printing is in very good condition. In the original cloth, near-fine with only bumping to spine ends. Text block fine. In the original dust jacket, very good with some chipping, rubbing, and closed tears to edges.

A very good first edition of the novelization of The Deer Hunter.
