About This Item
New York: Random House, 2012. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Signed by Pulitzer Prize winner Katherine Boo on the title page using her stamp as always due to a painful auto-immune disorder that impacts her hands. A true 1st printing in dustjacket, lacking the national book award badge. A very good copy with crinkling and bending at the spine tips being the only damage - the head of the spine is particular bent into the rear joint. Clean, unmarked pages in a solid binding as if unread. Corners straight. Jacket is bright and attractive with the $27 price intact, and matching wear to the spine tips, including a short tear to the top of the rear panel from the spine crimping. Powell's Books sticker to the rear panel indicating that this came from a public speaking event in February of 2012 - left intact for provenance. 256 pp., Boo's first book.
