Condition: Near Fine

This copy bears a very nice inscription from Sherwood Anderson ( with gratitude and affection ). A near fine example of the book with a touch of rubbing to the cloth edges.

Signed copies of the trade edition would appear to be quite a bit less common than the limited signed issue of 350 copies.
