Dover Bookshelf presents a stunning collection of affordable hardcover classics with easy-to-read type as the perfect collectible treasure for booklovers and gifting.

This groundbreaking LGBTQ classic by Patricia Highsmith is a raw, intoxicating exploration of desire, identity, and courage. Highsmith, writing under the pseudonym Claire Morgan, crafted a narrative that defied the pervasive stereotypes and tragic endings typical of lesbian literature of the era. Challenging the societal norms of the 1950s, the novel defies era stereotypes with a sincere, complex romance between Therese Belivet and Carol Aird, making their love story universally relatable and offering a glimmer of hope and validation.
Dover Bookshelf: The perfect keepsake and gift for collectors, booklovers, and readers of LGBTQ+ literature, with easy-to-read text and perfectly sized at 5 x 8 inches for easy portability or shelf display. Beautifully bound: This affordable hardcover edition has a textured cloth-look cover with a contemporary graphic beauty that extends from the cover to the endpapers. A Landmark in LGBTQ+ Fiction: Experience the novel that boldly portrayed a lesbian romance with hope and authenticity—long before mainstream acceptance. Inspiration for the Acclaimed Film: The basis for the award-winning movie Carol, starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, brought this powerful story to life on the big screen. Timeless and Relevant: Explore themes of identity, desire, and societal expectations that still resonate deeply with modern readers. Beautifully Written Prose: Patricia Highsmith’s masterful storytelling and psychological depth make this novel a literary classic and a must-read for book lovers. Perfect for Book Clubs: Ideal for discussion groups focusing on romance, LGBTQ+ literature, and 20th-century classics.
Let The Price of Salt (or Carol) sweep you away with its emotional depth and timeless appeal. This unforgettable novel is a celebration of love, courage, and the enduring power of the human heart.
