By CRICHTON, Michael

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1980. FIRST EDITION. An excellent copy in the original dust jacket, uncut. First edition of Crichton’s fifth novel, which was made into a popular Paramount film. He took his inspiration from H. Rider Haggard’s adventure story, King Solomon’s mines, and modeled his main character, Amy the gorilla, after the true sign-language-using gorilla Koko.
