About This Item
A lovely first printing of the true first Canadian edition [M&S (Toronto 1981)]. A near fine copy with two bumped corners and some pencil erasures but no remainder marks, a tight and square binding, no owner inscriptions or highlighting and no staining or marking. It is signed by Margaret Atwood directly on the half title page. The dust jacket is also near fine and is not price-clipped ($16.95). The jacket has two short closed tears on the rear panel but is otherwise in nice condition, with minimal shelf wear. It is now protected by an archival cover that is easily removable. Please don't hesitate to contact us for further information about this wonderful book.
