About This Item
NO BOOK, dust jacket proofs only, Fine panels but vertical crease to booth blank flaps. There is a fold crease along spine at back pane. Very unusual and scarce proof (only a small number of these were printed) for the jacket that artist Peter Thorpe did for this non-Navajo mystery. This was the original jacket proposed for the book, and Tony commented to Peter that he liked it very much. However, management at Harper quickly rejected it, wanting a more traditional, Navajo-like drawing for front panel. A Fine proof copy of the jacket that was approved and used on the book is also included. Proof is blank on flaps and back panel, and folded at back side of spine. This proof has been signed by Peter Thorpe on the front flap in silver marker.
Synopsis
Finding Moon is a novel written in 1996 by Tony Hillerman. The novel is based on an idea that Hillerman had developed and intended to set in post-World War II Europe; in fact, many characters are named after soldiers he knew while serving. He would later set the story in Southeast Asia in 1975, coinciding with the fall of Saigon, the rise of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, and the beginning of the Marcos era in the Philippines.
