Description: Fine. Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Library, 1981. Signed, Limited Edition. Signed by Irving Stone on the third free end paper. First Edition Thus. Includes the rather scarce 22-page "Notes from the Editors", which accompanied this edition in its original shipment. Octavo, 512 pp., illustrations by Howard Rogers, commissioned for this edition. Full rich brown leather, gilt decorated and imprinted, spine panels rib divided, All Edges Gilt, deep maroon moire endpapers, with matching satin page-marker ribbon. Franklin's as-always lavish binding, in a limited signed edition of Stone's 1934 first major publication, the biographical novel 'Lie Down in Darkness'. Paper is 60-pound Franklin Library '1854' Cream, typeface is 11-point Bodoni Book, gilt is 22 karat. The Franklin Library, doing what they did best. As New; pristine and flawless. As bright, tight and immaculate as it was on its first day in 1981; please note that the deep maroon endpapers, have, at the front, developed a wine-red perimeter color, a not-unpleasing type of fade that apparently happens to this specific Franklin title. With the author's 'A Special Message to Subscribers from Irving Stone', written for this limited edition, and, of course, the separate 'Notes from the Editors', a very desirable example. See scans.
