Book Description: Crane Hill Publishers, Birmingham, AL, 1999. Hardcover. First edition, first printing. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding is tight and square. Pages clean and bright. Not remaindered. Beautiful book, but upon closer inspection it becomes clear that at some point it was dropped. There is a small dent to the top of the back board and a corresponding black smudge to the tops of the pages. The DJ was hardly affected. It is not bad, and doesn't affect the beauty of the book, but needed to be mentioned. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED TO FELLOW NOVELIST HA JIN on the title page: "For Ha Jin — With respect — All good wishes to you — William Cobb 10/3/99". A really beautiful association copy.
