About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2002. Signed by McGuane (signature only) on the first page after the front free endpaper. Fine condition in a Fine dust jacket. NOT price clipped ($24.00). No chips. No tears. Bright, clean, square, and tight. Sharp corners. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Pages are fresh and crisp - probably never read. Bound in the original white and gray marbled boards, with a maroon spine lettered in shiny silver. From the Dust Jacket: "In his first novel since his best-selling NOTHING BUT BLUE SKIES, and thirty-three years after THE SPORTING CLUB established his reputation, Thomas McGuane's trademark combination of high wit, low behavior, and hard-won wisdom has never been on sharper - or ultimately, more moving - display. This is the story of the Whitelaws, a family whose values are as far-flung as the territory they helped settle, and whose most recent generations have pioneered the landscape of dysfunction.". Signed by the Author. First Edition (so stated). Hardcover. Fine condition/Fine dust jacket. Illus. by Kidd, Chip (jacket design). 8vo. 243pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
