Stated First Printing, with Halberstam's signature on the title page, not inscribed to anyone. The DJ is unclipped. Minor coloration to the front of the DJ which is nicely protected in mylar. There are stamps on the front and rear pastedown "Compliments of Volunteers in Probation." The front endpaper has a roughing indicating a bookplate may have been removed, but it does not appear to be an ex-library book, maybe just something in an office or organizational environment. VERY SCARCE signed! The author's first novel and first book, to be followed by many more including The Best and The Brightest. The condition is rated Good/Good. Photos upon request.
