Description:
Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1997. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Fine. 8vo., Wraps 359pp.. Beautiful Unread Uncorrected Advance Proof of this purported travel diary of one Jacob d'Ancona that turned out to be hoax by British writer.Devid Selbourne who claimed that he translated the original manuscript though could never produce the document. Experts have since debunked the hoax though it had been already printed in the UK. Little, Brown in Boston was set to publish it in October of 1997 but pulled it at the last minute so this Proof was never published. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. A hint of a crease but barely. Fresh and bright with no chipping, tears or toning. Promotional newsletter laid in. A sharp collectable copy of a quite scarce item.
