Book Description Trade Paper. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Later printing of the Canadian trade paper edition SIGNED by Alice Munro on the half-title page and inscribed "For [a first name]." This copy is from the 4th printing in 1974. Gold covers with dark green titles. A story collection and the author's first book, it was awarded Canada's Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction in 1968. A solid copy, the pages remain firmly bound. Previous owner wrote her name along the top edge of the inside front cover with a ballpoint pen. Part of one sentence on pg.1 of the text is underlined, and the word "local" is written in the margin. That is the only other marking by a previous owner. The top and bottom corners of the covers and the opening and closing pages of the text have softened or been turned. Slight spine roll with reading creases along the spine. Shelf wear to the surface of both covers with rubbing that has caused a small patch of color loss at two points on the front cover, near - but not affecting - the title. The surface of the top corner of the back cover has been lost, and a small patch of the surface of the bottom edge of the back cover has been lifted away by, presumably, the removal of a sticker. Despite these flaws, this copy presents the opportunity to acquire an autographed copy of a Canadian edition of the esteemed author's first book. Perhaps Canada's most highly-decorated writer, Munro was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2013 and cited as "a master of the contemporary short story." She won the Man Booker International Prize in 2009. She has won Canada's Giller Prize twice and the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction three times: Dance of the Happy Shades (1968), Who Do You Think You Are? (1978) and The Progress of Love (1986). Beginning in the 1960s, her stories were published regularly in The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly and The Paris Review. Note to Collectors: never an avid signer, when Munro completed the publicity tour for The Love of A Good Woman in 1998, she announced that she would no longer make public appearances to autograph books. Multiple signed Canadian firsts of other Munro titles are also available from this bookseller. Canadian orders will be charged GST. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 002297
