ISBN10: 039450920X, ISBN13: 9780394509204, [publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, New York] Hardcover First Edition First Printing. Signed boldly by the author directly to the front endpage, dated March 12, 1981, and inscribed "To Joy Kritzer/Best wishes". From the esteemed modern first collection of Ms. Kritzer, a rather scarce inscribed copy thus. Beautifully illustrated throughout, the book itself is unread and is in absolutely fine condition. The dust jacket - which is protected by a removable Brodart archival cover - is near fine, with the only flaw being a 1/2" professionally repaired tear and some associated wrinkling near the top of the spine. Overall a beautiful collectible copy of Gardner's penultimate novel. I ship all of my books bubble-wrapped in sturdy, very well-padded boxes, so they are guaranteed to arrive in the exact same condition as when they left. Please feel free to email with any questions/offers/trades and thank you for supporting small independent booksellers everywhere.
