Description
First Edition, Trade Issue; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to the front free paper. A remarkably well preserved copy of this novel, in the original jacket; uncommon in this condition, rare indeed signed. This copy is in near fine condition with some mild fading to the spine lettering, light rubbing to the edges, and a bookseller small sticker to the rear pastedown; housed in a clean and bright near fine dust jacket that shows some minor toning to the spine and back panel, light rubbing to the edges and corners, and a couple of short closed tears, one to the spine head and one to the bottom front panel. Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy; this title rarely found in the first trade edition signed directly to the book. Not remaindered, not price-clipped (no price to front flap), not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship securely wrapped in a sturdy box.
