Condition: Near Fine
Description: Octavo, 909pp. A crisp, clean copy, near fine, in the publisher's black cloth. Inner hinges slightly stressed, but sound and holding.

Contemporary gift inscription to the half-title page, and there is some tape residue on the previous two blank leaves, the first of which is the reverse side of the limitation page. However this flaw is really not disfiguring, and this remains a gift-quality example. In the original clear dust jacket, a bit smudged; near fine. In the publisher's slipcase, with sticker residue and some gentle dust-soiling on the top edge. The scarce signed limited edition of this sweeping novel by Michener, which tells the story of the Jewish people through a frame narrative set in contemporary Israel.
