About This Item
Philosophical Library, New York, 1982. Signed First Edition. Conditon: Very Good+. Dust Jacket condition: Good+. 264 pp. Text white, clean and unmarked except for author's dedication and signature on front free endpaper. Red tint top edge. Dust jacket has 1 1/2 inch chip missing on bottom edge near spine and 1/2 inch chip missing at bottom outer edge. "The book is an odyssey of the author's thirty-three year quest to discover his natural origins...a telling critique of the institution of adoption, which, though it may be founded on benevolent motives, contains within its laws attendant provisions which pronounce a harsh sentence upon the very ones the law avows to protect." An excellent copy of a rare book.
