About This Item
Atheneum, New York, 1st Edition 1980. Hardcover (21cm+ tall) with dust jacket black cloth with author name in blind on cover, rust-colored DJ with white lettering/block on front and author photo on rear. Near Fine in Very Good, book has minimal corner wear, text is clean and bright, jacket has light internal water damage at edges, light damage at spine top and nick at front cover bottom. "The Lady From Dubuque is an allegory. It's about what happens when death comes to call, and how we all do our damnedest to turn it away or pretend it isn't there... the talk may be arch and precious and on occasion ponderous. Mr. Albee can't help himself. But that dialogue is always impeccably paced." (Courtesy Wikipedia)

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
