About This Item
Davies' first novel, in the first American edition. The jacket is close to complete, missing small patches that do noa affect either the picture or the text on the covers; the front cover is separated from the spine, however, and there's a closed tear across the middle of the spine. . It's all now protected in a BroDart-style protector See pictures for details. First printing, with publisher's circled R on verso of title page. This copy is signed by Davies on the title page, with his usual crossing-out of his name: I personally got him to sign this at an event in San Francisco much after the book was published. Scarce signed (I see no others online at the time I list this).
