The Deep by Peter Benchley

U.K. FIRST EDITION [1976] ANDRE DEUTSCH

Rare U.K. 1st with epically superior jacket artwork to the U.S. edition!

Smaller sized hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. 

Dust jacket has one tear to top of spine and some fraying to edges of laminate; otherwise very good.   Some tan spots along front and rear panels (see last photo) Looks great housed in a new HQ brodart jacket protector. 

Aside from a slight lean to binding and a hint of tanning to edges of cloth; book itself is very good.  Boards are clean and pages read like new. 

A young couple go to Bermuda on their honeymoon. They dive on the reefs offshore, looking for the wreck of a sunken ship. What they find lures them into a strange and increasingly terrifying encounter with past and present, a struggle for salvage and survival along the floor of the sea, in the deep.
