New York: Ecco - an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, 2011. Third printing. Hardcover. Good/good. Signed and inscribed by award winning author Joyce Carol Oates on the title page "To Rosie" in blue ink. A good plus copy, black hardcover with red spine titles. Third printing in dustjacket. Bending to the spine tips and a bump to the lower corner, joint-ward. Binding is solid but lacking tightness as if read through. Clean and unmarked other than the author's signature. Unclipped jacket is also good with general wear to the panel edges and a bit of chipping at the folds - dark panels show some scuffing. 415 pp., Oates' memoir of surviving her first year without her husband, Raymond Smith.
