Description: SIGNED Franklin Library edition of "Deliverance" by James Dickey. This book features premium hand-cut full leather boards with a distinct cover design in ornate 22-karat gold gild. The spine is hubbed with raised horizontal ridges formed in the leather. There are silk moire endpapers with a sewn-in matching satin bookmark. Gilded pages protect against dust and moisture and the paper used is acid neutral to last generations without discoloring. SIGNED on a special bound-in page by James Dickey. Includes a new introduction by James Dickey and "Notes from the Editor" pamphlet. "Deliverance" tells the story of four mild, middle-class men from suburban Atlanta who embark on a canoe trip, snaking down a remote Georgia river that will soon disappear beneath a dam. In the woods they find boiling rapids and two sinister mountain men. Before the novel is over, the carnage is nearly complete: three men have been crudely buried, one has been raped, and the survivors have had the bark peeled from their modern sensibilities.

Description: Fine; see scans and description. Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Library, 1981. Signed, Limited Edition. Signed by James Dickey on the third free end paper, and one of the most artful of Franklin signatures it is, indeed. First Edition Thus. Includes the rather scarce 22-page "Notes from the Editors", which accompanied this edition in its original shipment. Octavo, 276 pp., mood-capturing color illustrations by Barron Storey. Full rich red leather, gilt decorated and imprinted, spine panels rib divided, All Edges Gilt, red moire endpapers, with matching satin page-marker ribbon. Franklin's as-always lavish binding, in a limited signed edition of poet James Dickey's famous 1970 first novel, later made into the equally famous film; selected by Modern Library #42 on their list of the 100 best 20th-Century novels. The paper is 60-pound Franklin Library Old Style paper in Cream tone, typeface is 10-point Palatino, with artist Barron Storey's rich color illustrations - all from original paintings commissioned for this edition - printed on 80-pound coated Lustro Enamel, and they do indeed justify that choice. Gilt is 22 karat. The Franklin Library, doing what they did best. Fine; bright, tight and a visual treat. With the author's 'A Special Message to Subscribers from James Dickey', written in 1981 for this limited edition, and, of course, the separate 'Notes from the Editors', a very desirable example.
