About This Item
SIGNED by AUTHOR! A Beautiful book! First Edition, First Printing, Number-line to # 1 (Putnam,1989) **UNREAD** Signed by Tom Clancy on the half-title page, his name only. Black 1/4 over Gray Hardcovers are As New, sharp corners. Spine is As New, Perfect gold lettering; NO concavity at all, RARE in this respect! Pages are Fine, clean with no writing, no folding, the toning always associated with this title due to the paper quality used. Page edges are excellent, very clean. Dust Jacket is Near Fine, Light wear to one corner and some very light fade to the spine area. HOWEVER: This is one of the most difficult jackets in the world of book collecting. It is the more desirable Copper colored jacket, the other being a "boring" silver. These jackets usually have severe de-lamination of the clear coat at the edges, this one has only one small area. These Copper colored jackets are also prone to severe fading. Appropriate Price intact, Protected in a custom-fit clear archival cover. NOTE: This dust Jacket was produced in a Silver version and a Copper version, both are considered First State. **It would be very difficult or impossible to find a better example!**
**I am a collector also and know all too well what it is like receiving a book "Not as described". This does not happen here. I am passionate about honesty, quality and customer satisfaction. I have a NO DISAPPOINTMENT policy. My books are always graded accurately, cleaned if necessary and then carefully shipped in very well-padded boxes and always smoke and odor free.**
