Helter Skelter: The True Story of The Manson Murders by Vincent Bugliosi 

FIRST EDITION  / FIRST PRINTING [1974] W.W. NORTON & CO. 

A beautiful rare first print.  Hardcover with dust jacket, both in very good condition.  

Dust jacket is sharp and looks awesome, fully in tact w. a few small sealed edge tears.  Clipped corner on front panel, but price in tact. Small square of black tape to top of spine [see last photo]

Book itself is excellent; cover is clean, slightly bumped.  Binding is tight and pages read like new.  Some fading to title on spine and a hint of foxing to end papers.  

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial, Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the twentieth century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Here is the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime.

Helter Skelter won an Edgar Allan Poe Award for best true-crime book of the year.
