About This Item
Baton Rouge, LA: Louisiana State University Press. Very Good. 1969. First Edition. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in red paper covered boards with blind-stamping to the upper cover and gilt stamping to the spine, in a dust jacket with foxing, scuffing and wear to the joints and edges. The covers show light bumping to the corners and spine-ends. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with some light foxing to the fore-edge. This book is signed by Joyce Carol Oates on the half title-page. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .
