About This Item
New York: Random House, 1994. ARC . Paperback. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. This is the limited Advance Reader's Edition state - often referred to as an Advance Reading Copy, Uncorrected Proof, or ARC - fast becoming an attractive "collectible", as it precedes the First Edition. An exotic and beguiling mystery story, set in 17th-century Japan, where a young samurai is investigating what seems to be a ritual double suicide. What he discovers instead threatens the very underpinnings of the shogun's Japan. 350 pages. CONDITION: a bright, tight, square, unmarked, uncreased copy with negligible shelf-wear. This handsome, highly collectible copy is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag.
