Book is square, hinges tight, very slight bumping of lower corners and head of spine.

Signed by author in medium black felt tip pen on title page beneath his printed name ("The signature is not very legible; however I know that it is authentic since I stood in the [long] line for it"--Gail Waller, owner, Cagel Books). No other discernible or objectionable faults on book or jacket such as marks or writing within, stains, tears, chips, or other damage that would diminish its appearance. No remainder mark, no previous owner markings or inscriptions, not price clipped, not a book club edition, not a former library book. Author's first book. Winner of the 1997 National Book Award for Fiction and the 1997 Nelson Algren Award for Fiction. After a modest 25,000 copy first printing, the book went into dozens of additional printings, eventually selling more than a million copies in hardcover and winning the National Book Award -- a rare combination of literary and commercial success for any work of fiction, let alone a first novel.
