About This Item

London, United Kingdom: Heinemann, 1987. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Blue boards. The spine is stamped in silver. Quarto. 418pps. There is rounding to the spine-ends and a very slight and unobtrusive bump at the top of the front board. Otherwise clean, bright, square, and soundly bound. All tips are sharp. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has modest touches of crinkling at the extremities; the original price (10.95 net) is intact. SIGNED by the author -- without further inscription -- on the title-page. A quite presentable, collector's-quality copy of the first British Edition and the first hardcover edition of Russo's first book. Laid in is a flyer from the signing event. ".'Mohawk' is an outstanding first novel, a poignant, unforgettable story of old passions and enmity set in a leather town in upstate New York where the tanneries have long ago begun to close down. Writing with extraordinary assurance, Richard Russo unfolds the story of a mystery that has bound two families, the Grouses and the Gaffneys, together for over two decades. 'Mohawk' is a drama of small-town life that captures all the comedy and tragedy of the human experience. With its rich variety of characters and events, its warmth and humour and the simple power of its storytelling, it is a first novel of remarkable maturity and appeal." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. To assist with your decision, photos can be emailed upon request.. SIGNED by the Author. First Edition. Hard Cover.

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.
