The Married Man by Edmund White - 2000

First edition hardcover with dust jacket, published by Knopf, 2000. The dust jacket is intact, though it has been price clipped. Austin is an American scholar specializing in the history and art of furniture, living in Paris, and about to embark on an affair with a married man that will change both their lives. This is not a remainder, not a library discard. Price clipped dust jacket also has a crease mark to the front flap. Brown boards over dark gray spine with the author name and title imprinted on the spine in gold. Boards are flat, and the corners are not bumped or creased. Edges of the text block are clean, no former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. Binding is tight and square. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo.
