About This Item
New York: Knopf, 1996. First Thus. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. New York: Knopf, 1996. Book. Fine. Signed by Author(s). First Thus. First hardback edition, first printing. (The Sportswriter, the prequel to Ford's Pulitzer Prize-winning Independence Day, was published initially in paperback only, in 1986 in the Vintage Contemporaries series.) Signed by author on a leaf tipped in by publisher between the ffep and the half title. Fine in near fine jacket. ** Your choice of jackets: one with very slight corner wear and a minute (1/8 by 1/4 inch) surface tear -- not a chip and the tear doesn't go all the way through the jacket-- on the bottom back edge; or another without those flaws but with a crease exactly where the spine meets the back panel (and so more or less imperceptible) and a barely noticeable shadow of a crease from top to bottom on the front panel. Both are clean and bright, neither bears the "Signed by Author" sticker on the front. Both look great in mylar protector..
