About This Item
First hardcover edition with dust jacket, published by Scribner, 1995. Wade Mayfield, an architect living in New York City, has come home to father's house in North Carolina to die of AIDS.

Dark purple cloth covered boards, with the author name and title imprinted on the spine in gold, and the title imprinted on the front board in gold as well. Boards are flat, the corners are not bumped or creased. No edge wear to the boards. 353 pages. Edges of the text block are clean. Purple top stain does not appear to be faded. Sewn binding is tight and square. This is not a remainder, not a library discard. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
