About This Item
New York, NY Alfred A. Knopf: Borzoi Books, 1997. Hardcover First Edition [1997]; Sixth Printing in the same year. Very Near Fine in Very Good DJ. The Book shows only the faintest foxing to the top edge; else flawless. The binding is square and secure; the text clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text.. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a minor, unobtrusive imperfection. Bright and Clean. Corners sharp. Not perfect, but very close to 'As New'. The DJ shows considerable rubbing to the panels; a touch of wear to the upper front corner tips and to the heel of the backstrip; the price is intact. Remains intact and not unattracitive but shows some wear. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.75 x 6 x 1 inches). 236 pages. Language: English. Weight: 16.5 ounces. Deckle fore-edge. First Edition [1997]; Sixth Printing in the same year. Hardback with DJ. Ruth Puttermesser, a highly educated, unlucky-in-love but rather mystical existence as a Jewish woman in New York City, has been chronicled in previously published stories appearing occasionally through the years. The Puttermesser Papers collects the old stories, along with several new ones, combined to create a funny and surreally picaresque narrative, touching upon Puttermesser's job at a blueblood law firm, her creation and intellectual sparring with the golem she makes out of soil from her flowerpots, her term as mayor of New York, her own death by murder, and, yes, beyond.
