About This Item
New York: Farrar Straus Giroux, 1979. Hard Cover. Very Good+ binding/Very Good+ dust jacket. Octavo. [6], 362 pp. First trade edition (second state), review copy; signed and inscribed by Malamud. As issued, in publisher's cloth with dust jacket. A fresh copy with little in the way of shelfwear; top edges of the boards are a bit sunned; front board is a little splayed; moderate to heavy foxing to the fore-edge; jacket is crisp if a bit sunned at the spine; ghost of residue on the reverse of the jacket at the spine, not visible from the outside of the jacket. A very nice review copy with several pieces of promotional material including a photograph that was used for the back panel of the jacket. This copy retains the original leaf with printing error and has the missing words written in (ink smeared on the last word)--Ahearn in his price guide calls this the "second state." This copy is signed and inscribed to the reviewer, D. H. Lawrence scholar, Keith Cushman. Ahearn APG 015c.
