About This Item
First Edition/Stated First Printing; A Near Fine book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED by the author with his customary squiggle on the title page. A handsome copy of this author's first novel, getting scarce in collectible condition in the first printing, particularly signed. This book is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding, bright yellow and gold lettering over white boards, and clean white pages free of markings; the book does show a mild push at the lower spine end, minor rubbing and sunning to the board edges, and a light soiling to the exterior text block. Housed in a very good or better dust jacket that is clean and bright but does show mild rubbing and light chipping to the spine ends and corners, a crease along the top of the back panel, and a very minor foxing to the panel and flap edges. Overall, a presentable and highly collectible copy; not remaindered, not price clipped ($5.50 intact), and not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
