About This Item
Boston, MA.: Houghton Mifflin Company. Very Good. 1975. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in gray cloth with silver and gilt stamping to the upper cover and spine, in a dust jacket with light edge-wear and light foxing. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean. This book is signed by the author, John Kenneth Galbraith, on the front free end-page. There is a bookplate, also signed by Galbraith, laid-in at the front. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .
