Condition: Fine
Description: First Printing. Boldly signed, inscribed, and dated in the year of publication by the author directly to the first endpage. The book is fine - but for the absolute slightest wear to the extremities - in a fine dust jacket, which is now protected by a removable Brodart archival cover. It comes from the esteemed modern first collection of Joy Kritzer. A beautiful collectible copy from the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize winning author, and a rather scarce Roth item that is anything more than flatsigned. 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.
