About This Item
A lovely first printing of the first American edition [Putnam NY (1989)], inscribed by author Tom Clancy directly on the half title page. The book is in very good condition with a previous owner's bookplate on the front free end paper, some toning on the page edges and bumping at the spine ends. The book has no remainder marks, a tight and square binding, with no owner inscriptions or highlighting. The dust jacket is also in very good condition, not price-clipped ($21.95), with some toning and creases at the extremities but no chips or tears and minimal shelf wear. The book is provided with a second jacket, the coveted copper version, which is only in good condition, as well as a COA from Todd Mueller Autographs. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information about this wonderful book.
