About This Item
Boston, MA.: Little, Brown, and Company. Very Good. 1999. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in tan paper covered boards, with a gilt stamped black spine, in a dust jacket with some wrinkling and wear to the edges. The covers show light edge-wear, and rubbing to the corners. The head of the spine is chipped and there are 2 small nicks to the spine. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and generally clean, but with some discoloration to the front free end-page, and with a small, faint, stain to the outer edge of a few pages. This book is signed by the author Thomas Berger 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. ; Signed by Author .
