Stated First Edition with "1" present in complete number line. Not a book club, remainder or ex-library copy. <b>Signed by Brooks on the ffep and inscribed "To Art, Magic from Somewhere within the [illegible] of Darkover" and dated "10/88".</b> Light, handling-related wear along page block edges with previous owner's stamp on title page. Jacket shows minor wear along top edge of jacket (handling related). A near fine copy in near fine jacket. The jacket is clean, intact without tears or chipping with $16.95 price intact. A clean, square copy of a popular book nearly 40 years old. This copy was read once, carefully, then kept on a shelf. Brooks fourth book and the first book in The Landover series, and NY Times Bestseller. A wonderful copy for collectors because of the inscription. It was once authors' preference to inscribe copies to their fans, before the sadly modern trend of signature only. Only 15,000 were printed. Iconic dustjacket painting by Darrell K. Sweet. The book is currently in the screenplay stage with Steve Carell the front runner to play Ben Holiday..
