About This Item
A lovely first printing of the first American edition [Knopf New York 2012], signed by author Alice Munro, winner of the Giller, Booker and Nobel Prizes, directly on the title page. The book is lightly bumped on the spine bottom, else fine condition with no remainder marks, a tight and square binding, with no owner inscriptions or highlighting and no staining or marking. The dust jacket is in near fine condition, not price-clipped ($26.95), with small creases at the spine ends, but no chips or tears and absolutely minimal shelf wear. It is now protected by an archival cover which is easily removable. Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information.
