Features a stunningly beautiful Cover Design by Photonica, which rivals Marc Burckhardt's celebrated DJ design for the First American Edition, the true first. Presents, in a lovely "Paperback Original" format, Michael Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay". A timeless achievement: The author's eloquent and moving tribute to the innate ability of the refugee/exile to survive and to prevail, to escape from, outwit, and outlast the inimical forces of History in all of the latter's injustice, cruelty, and arbitrariness. "The young star of American letters" (Washington Post Cover Blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Michael Chabon collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Michael Chabon. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. In addition, the author also boldly drew in his signature-key, the novel's cunning "freedom" motif, which has now become an integral part of Chabon's signature for the novel. This title is a great book. This is one of very few such signed copies of the First British Edition/First Printing (2000/2001) still available online and despite its imperfection (creasing on the fragile spine and browning of page edges) is still in fine condition overall: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is priced accordingly. A rare signed copy thus. Selected by The New Yorker Magazine as one of "Twenty Writers for the 21st Century". Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay". One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy.
