Price: US$85.00 + shipping

Condition: Fair

Description: Hardcover. Illustrated paper over boards and red cloth spine. Title and copyright pages dated 1985. 127 pages. Limitation page in rear states that 400 cloth trade copies and 176 numbered deluxe copies were handbound in boards by Earle Gray. In fair condition. Appears to have been an ex-library copy, though someone has attempted to remove the pastedown on rear cover, tape on spine, and even written over the stamping on title page and copyright page. Covers have some rubbing, and paper along bottom edge is a bit chipped. Front gutter is cracked, but covers remain firmly attached and binding is secure. Pages are free of marks or tears (outside of previously mentioned ex-library). Overall, a fair reading copy of this scarce edition.

Description: A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine acetate dust jacket. Th1/176 numbered copies. 1933 Was a Bad Year is a posthumously published novel by John Fante, who died in 1983. "1933" tells the story of Dominic Molise, a 17-year old Italian-American living in Colorado. While his father, an out-of-work bricklayer, seeks to alleviate the family's poverty by earning money at the pool tables, Dominic dreams of becoming a successful baseball player. "1933" is a superb slice of American life; both funny and sad. The book is full of vivid characters and memorable scenes and offers a pungent taste of the Italian-American experience as it explores such issues as the gulf between immigrant parents and their American-born children.
