About This Item
First Edition; A Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. An outstanding copy of this short novel by the Pulitzer Prize winning author of "The Killer Angels"; basis for the exceptional film starring Kevin Costner. This copy is in fine condition with only a PO inscription to the front free paper; housed in a crisp and clean near fine jacket that shows some light rubbing and creasing to the edges and corners, and a roughened area to the verso of the front flap with a short closed tear (invisible externally). Overall, a highly presentable and collectible copy; better than usually seen. Not remaindered, not price clipped, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
