About This Item
New York: Random House, 1969. First American Edition 1st Printing. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. A superb copy in fine condition in an unclipped and near fine dustjacket. This copy is signed by the author on the title page. First trade edition with "First Printing" on the copyright page. There was also a signed limited edition of 200. This was the author's final work before his death in 1970. A fine clean copy without any evidence of previous ownership. The dustjacket is complete with only a tiny bit of toning to the panels---or would also be fine. Great collectible copy.
Synopsis
