About This Item
Knopf, 1971. First edition. SIGNED. Near fine gold boards in very good dustjacket with some chipping, short closed tears. The dignity of the cover remains attractive. Affectionately inscribed "with my love" and signed "William" and dated "June 16, 1971" on one of the last end papers Ñ atypical for a signature location
