About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown & Co, 1962. Cloth. Good +/Very Good -. WARMLY INSCRIBED IN YEAR-OF-PUBLICATION by Richard Yates on the front free endpaper. A solid copy to boot of the 1962 stated 1st edition. Tight and Good+ (with light water staining at the panel edges and along the rear edge) in a bright, price-intact, VG- dustjacket, with wear at the spine edges and somewhat pronouced rubbing along the spine. Still though, a presentable copy. Octavo, the much-admired author's underrated 2nd book (following the exceptional "Revolutionary Road").
