SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, IN MY PRESENCE, DIRECTLY ON THE TITLE PAGE

Winner of American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters

Shortlisted for the 1984 PEN/Faulkner Award

Very highly praised FIRST BOOK by this Caribbean writer

CONDITION: VERY GOOD+ / VERY GOOD+

The Dust Jacket shows minimal shelf/edge-wear at folds. Perhaps very light sunning at spine. Original price is clipped. No writing, soiling, sticker residue or creases.

The Book itself is beautiful: green half-cloth on orange boards with author's initials decoratively stamped on front board; gilt lettering on spine. Spine, Binding and Hinges, all straight, square, tight and strong (like new). Rails and Corners are sharp and pointed, not bumped. Previous owner's name is written inside front board at very top left-hand corner, hidden by dust jacket front flap. Paper is clean and white, no soiling or creases. I have owned this book myself for around fifteen years. Appears never read.
