Book Store stamp FLEP, light toning, else contents appear as unopened, unread & unblemished in wraps displaying minimal surface/edge/wear, as shown. The Trade paperback published simultaneously with the small print run hardcover edition of approx. 2000 copies. Winner 1975 National Book Award. Second Novel, published some twenty years after "The Recognitions". "Gaddis" "JR"
