The jacket is the first state jacket with quote by John Berendt on the silver colored seal on the front panel. With the misprint "man-woman" instead of "mad-woman" on line 16, page 25. A book which has been compared to Hemingway's A Farewell To Arms. Some reviews even claimed it to be the novel of the century.
