About This Item
New York: Harper and Row, 1967. First Edition. Hardcover. Good +/near fine. Octavo, 710pp., illustrated. A good or better copy in the publisher's blue cloth. Large but very faint dampstain to the top edge, visible on the boards, as well, but only with some effort. The interior is clean and unaffected. Front inner hinge just starting, and rather tender. In a near fine dust jacket (supplied from another copy), with sticker removal to the spine. SIGNED and warmly INSCRIBED by Manchester on the half-title page: "For Dick Gildenmeister - With gratitude for his generous hospitality in Cleveland, and with warmest personal regards - Bill Manchester. New York. 9 I 75." Below the inscription, Manchester has drawn a humanoid figure emerging from a coffee cup - possibly some kind of inside joke? Regardless, we could not locate any other inscription by Manchester that was either this effusive, or contained any drawing. Signatures are uncommon, but an inscription of this magnitude is genuinely rare. GIldenmeister was a Cleveland bookseller and tireless pursuer of authorial autographs. A significant copy.
