Deep is the Blue [*SIGNED*]

Garden City NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc.. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1964. First Edition. Hardcover. [an attractive copy, spine slightly turned, no other significant wear to book; the jacket has a tiny shallow chip at the base of the spine, and some minor age-toning around the edges of the rear panel]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "To Walter Seltzer -- / My old producer -- / Sincerely and with / Very Warm Regards -- / Max." "A novel about the men of a nuclear submarine -- and their wives ashore." The inscribee was a noted Hollywood film producer; the author's inscription to "my old producer" is a reference to the 1961 film THE NAKED EDGE, which was based on his 1955 novel "First Train to Babylon," on which Seltzer was a producer.
