A fine copy in a near-fine unclipped dustjacket--which has the dustjacket text printed on a clear acetate covering. Signed by Donna Tartt- with signature only- directly on the title page-not on a pasted in label. This was the author's first book published in 1992. She would later go on to publish the highly successful title "The Goldfinch". A fine unmarked and unread copy in a dustjacket that has a slight bit of rubbing--which most copies do because of the nature of the clear printed on dustjacket. Extremely scarce signed by the author. Will be carefully wrapped and shipped in a box.

First Edition, signed by the author on title page. Alfred A. Knopf, New York 1992. "The Secret History is an inverted detective story narrated by one of the six students, Richard Papen, who reflects years later upon the situation that led to the murder of their friend Edmund "Bunny" Corcoran - wherein the events leading up to the murder are revealed sequentially. The novel explores the circumstances and lasting effects of Bunny's death on the academically and socially isolated group of classics students of which he was a part. The novel was originally titled 'The God of Illusions' and its first-edition hardcover was designed by the acclaimed New York City graphic designer Chip Kidd, and Barbara de Wilde. A 75,000 print order was made for the first edition (as opposed to the usual 10,000 order for a debut novel) and the book became a bestseller. The book has since been credited as popularizing the growth of the dark academia literary sub-genre." (quoted from Wikipedia) Book is unclipped and fine, clean and bright and seems to be almost unread. Original printed translucent dustwrapper is very good+ with slightly rubbing, one almost unvisible small white dot in the upper area of the front panel and miniscule creasing at top of spine of dw. Hard to find in this outstanding condition. Collector's Choice.
