This book is hard-bound in black cloth with a blind-stamped emblem on the upper cover and gilt stamping to the spine, in a nice dust jacket with light soiling. The covers show some lightscuffingand light rubbing to the edges, corners and spine-ends. There is a ding to the lower DJ panel and lower cover, causing a dent in both. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean. Two of the pages have a little wrinkling to the outer edges. This book is signed/inscribed by the author Charles Johnson on the title-page. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .
