About This Item
First Edition Thus; A Very Good or better book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to Sascha Laurance, a Hollywood Script Supervisor, later owned by Elton John co-writer Bernie Taupin; Taupin's blind stamp to the front free paper, below the inscription. A unique association copy of this collection of stories, the 3rd collection from Nin, all containing the title story with other mixed content. This copy is in very good or better condition with a square, tight binding, bright gold lettering over clean black boards, and crisp pages throughout free from markings; the book does show some mild rubbed areas to the boards and a couple of small indentions to the edges, else near fine or better. Housed in a clean and bright original dust jacket that shows some mild fading to the spine (common for the title), and some light rubbing and chipping to the edges with a couple of associated short closed tears. Overall, a highly presentable copy, greatly enhanced with Nin's signature and the unique association. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
