One of 1200 Hand-Signed and Numbered Copies

MINT Condition – Still in the Publisher’s Shipping Box

This is the true first edition of the book and precedes the trade edition. There is a special introduction by the author that appears in no other edition. The book is boldly hand signed by John Irving.

Book Features:  The book is hand signed by the author and features premium hand-cut full leather boards with a distinct cover design in ornate 22-karat gold gild. The spine is hubbed with raised horizontal ridges formed in the leather. There are marbled endpapers with a sewn in matching satin bookmark. The pages are gold gilded to protect against dust and moisture and the paper used is acid neutral to last generations without discoloring. 

Condition:  MINT. The book is still in the original publisher’s shipping box.

A total of 1200 First Editions were published by the Unicycle Press with each being hand signed by John Irving and numbered. Since this copy is still in the shipping box, I was unable to determine the number of this edition.

Stock photographs of the book and signature appear at the end of this listing. Although the photographs appear digitized as thumbnails, they are viewable in the photo viewer by clicking the thumbnail.
