About This Item
Columbus, Ohio: The Ohio State University Press. Very Good. 1968. First Edition. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. This book is hard-bound in dark blue cloth covers, with a gilt stamped red cloth spine, in a price-clipped dust jacket, with toning to the cover edges and spine. There is some light rubbing to the spine-ends. The binding is solid. The contnets are bright and clean. This book is signed/inscribed by Matthew J. Bruccoli on the front free end-page. Laid-in at the front is a handwritten note from Matthew J. Bruccoli, and a slip of paper signed by Mrs. Helen Charvat. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. ; Signed by Editor .
