About This Item
First edition, only hardcover printing, review copy, signed by author on title page. Review slip with date stamp laid in; we are confident it belongs with this copy, as there is the slightest ghosting on the top middle of the half-title page that corresponds exactly in size with the slip. (Check the photo of the half-title to see.)
Signed by Wendell Berry on title page; no other writing. "First printing w" slug on copyright page, as per Freedman A16. Only 4000 copies printed, no later hc printings. (Neither Freedman nor Zempel & Verkler offer explanation for the added "w" in the edition slug, but there are other examples of this during these years; it may refer to where the book was printed.)
Condtion is NF with only flaw being paper-clip marks at top of pgs. 62-65, no ghosting or other marks. Dust jacket is NF, not price-clipped, slight wrinking at top of back panel and rear flap. (Again see photos.)
One of the rarest of Mr. Berry's books, more so signed, much less a review copy. This one is all three.
