Condition: Fine
Description: First Printing. Signed boldly by the author directly to the title page, dated March 12, 1981, and inscribed warmly "To Joy Kritzer/Best wishes and thanks". From the esteemed modern first collection of Ms. Kritzer, a rather scarce inscribed copy thus. Much scarcer even than the limited edition released simultaneously which has the limitation page simply tipped in. The book is unread and is in fine condition, but for the slightest bit of the very common rubbing to the extremities, with no dust jacket - as issued. Please be sure to check out the other signed John Gardner titles in my inventory. I ship all of my books bubble-wrapped in sturdy, very well-padded boxes, so they are guaranteed to arrive in the exact same condition as when they left. Please feel free to email with any questions/offers/trades and thank you for supporting small independent booksellers everywhere.
