About This Item
New York, N. Y., U.S.A.: Farrar Straus & Giroux, 2008. First Edition, First Printing 1st Printing. ARC. New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Advance Reading Copy. Signed and dated 10/24/08 by author on title page. Welcome to the luminous and marvelously inventive world of THE GHOST IN LOVE. A man falls in the snow, hits his head on a stone curb, and dies. But something strange occurs: the man doesn't die, and the ghost that's been sent to take his soul to the afterlife is flabbergasted. Going immediately to its boss, the ghost asks, What should I do now? The boss says, We don't know how this happened, but we're working on it. In the meantime, we want you to stay with this man to help us figure out what's on. Unhappily, the ghost agrees. It is a ghost, not a nursemaid. But a funny thing happens--the ghost falls madly in love with the man's girlfriend--and things get naturally more complicated. Carroll is the author of twelve previous novels, including the acclaimed WHITE APPLES, THE LAND OF LAUGHS, THE MARRIAGE OF STICKS, and BONES OF THE MOON. New, ARC, in pictorial trade paperback. L48

About Joe Staats, Bookseller
Modern Literature, Mysteries, and More!
We specialize in collectible, contemporary signed first editions. First edition means the first printing. (Later printings of the first edition are typically not printed on acid-free paper, and should be avoided by collectors.) Signatures are obtained by us in person. Inscribed books sold by us may contain a line, a phrase, or a sketch that the author has chosen to add. Our signed books are not dedicated to anybody in particular (not to your grandmother, your Aunt Gladys, your ex-lover or your former cellmate), except in the rare case of a presentation copy from an author to a noteworthy person. All our books are hardcover, unless the book is an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or PBO. You can expect that the books we send you will be as described, and in a physical condition worthy of the author’s having signed them. We do not sell remainder-marked books, signed or otherwise
