About This Item
New York: Ace, 1987. Book. Fine Minus. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. 1st printing with full number line down to 1. Signed in the usual upside down way by the author in my presence at a local book signing event. The book condition is fine, with no spine creases, dog ears, or folding. Spine tight, boards square and stiff, points tipped. It is unread, clean and opened just to be signed. Still has that newish, feel BUT has tanning starting at block edges and going evenly in but fading quickly internally; also a tiny scattering of minuscule marks on top of text block. Dust jacket has no flaws but also has some even tanning throughout. Comes in clear protective plastic bag. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping. .
