About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday, 1977. Later printing. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. Octavo, 220pp. Gutter code of H13 indicates a March 1977 printing, just a few months after the first. A crisp, clean, very near fine copy, appearing unread, with a very small blemish at the bottom of the front board. Faint foxing to top edge. Remainder spray to bottom edge. In a very near fine dust jacket, with $6.95 flap price intact. Some of the remainder spray affects the rear flap and verso, and there is just a touch of edge rubbing; really a nicely preserved early printing of this top-tier novel by the master; adapted into a trippy 2006 film directed by Richard Linklater.
Synopsis

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
