Visually the exterior appearance is exceptional,and particularly internally,the book is also in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation. It really is an exceptional acceptable example for its cleanliness and brightness. Richard Ford (b. February 16,1944),American novelist and short story writer.His best-known works are the novel 'The Sportswriter' and its sequels,'Independence Day', 'The Lay of the Land' and 'Let Me Be Frank With You', and the short story collection 'Rock Springs' published a decade earlier. Ford's first book since his bestselling and award-winning 'Independence Day',offers three long stories (their action is too concentrated for novellas) in which men try to come to terms,uneasily,with the countless imponderables of a woman's heart. Whether single, long married or newly met,Ford's characters confront the obscure difference between privacy and intimacy, the fine distinction between pleasing another and plaesing oneself,and the need for reliance that is tempered by vulnerability.
