About This Item

Fine black Morocco leatherbound hardcover in fine hard marbled slipcase. From an edition of 450, 250 of which were sewn into marbled papers, 100 quarter bound in buckram, and 50 bound in goatskin, this copy is an out-of-series (unnumbered) example of the latter 50. Printed at the Libanus Press in Marlborough, England on Zerkall mould-made paper. A beautiful and collectible item. The source material for Paul Auster's screenplay and the film Smoke. Peter Baldwin at The Delos Press: Birmingham, 1992.

Reviews

On Sep 5 2017, a reader said:
This novel is the best Christmas story other than the Hift of the Magi ! Both touch my heart in the same place. But Auggie Wren even more so. Christmas in grimy but wonderful Brooklyn. I spent many and candy stores were common. Story tellers even more so. Old people who lived alone waiting for a friend or relative to drop by. The novel is a masterpiece for all!
