About This Item

New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1973. Very Good+ in a Very Good dustjacket. Black boards quarterbound in black cloth. Both the spine and the decorative front board are stamped in metallic purple and metallic orange. Yellow topstain. Black endpapers. 265pps. Stated first printing. There is a mild bump to the upper front tip and faint, light dustspotting to the fore-edge. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. The text is immaculate; no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, price-clipped (but with the first edition date code of 0473 intact on the flap) and glossy in a mylar sleeve, has light rubbing wear at the tips and the spine-ends -- there is also a touch of fading in the area of the spine; no chips or tears. A nice, presentable copy of DeLillo's third novel.

"...The story of Bucky Wunderlick, a semidivine entity in the rock music business. Without warning, Bucky abandons the glare and frenzy of his cross-country tour to spend the winter in a poorly heated room in a forgotten part of New York. What follows is the story of that winter. Moving to the frontiers of sanity, beyond, and back, Bucky bears the weight of the fragments of our shattered age. He is Don DeLillo's most powerful creation to date..."

Synopsis

Bucky Wunderlick, rock star and budding messiah, has hit a spiritual wall. In mid-tour he bolts fromhis band to hole up in a dingy East Village apartment and separate himself from the paranoid machine that propels the culture he has helped create. As faithful fans await messages, Bucky encounters every sort of roiling farce he is trying to escape. A penetrating look at rock and roll's merger of art, commerce and urban decay, Great Jones Street "reflects our era's nighmares and hallucinations with all appropriate lurid, tawdry shades" -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer .

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
