About This Item
New York: Random House [1977], 1977. First edition. Hardcover. Very near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. [9], 3-181, [3] pp. Quarter black paper over yellow paper boards with silver lettering on the spine. Price of $6.95 on front flap of dust jacket. This is copy number 934 of 1000 signed by the author on a specially printed bookplate affixed to the free front endpaper (these were copies Block purchased from the publisher rather than allow them to be remaindered; he created this limited edition and sold them himself). Jacket with some toning to its spine panel and flaps, overall a lovely example.
