Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Minus. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP). Signed and inscribed on the half-title page ( 'for Jane and Bob-- with all best wishes, Alan'). Once listed, this will be the Only signed copy for sale on the Internet. As you can see from the photos, the gray covers are exceptionally clean and in very good shape. There is little to no wear, a tiny crease at the very tip of the front and rear top corners, having no effect at all on the actual pages. The book is square and very solidly bound with nicely tight pages throughout. There are no binding issues. The book was produced with alkaline paper so there is no toning, no aging of the pages. There is dust staining on the top and middle page edges. In the main, this is had very little impact upon the actual pages. Over the first six pages, there is little bit of foxing off the top page edge, in no instance reaching the print. Toward the end of the book, I saw a few instances where a tiny bit of the dust staining just peeked over the top edge of the page, very minor and very inconspicuous in terms of the actual pages. The pages are in excellent condition. I'm not finding any creasing of any kind. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And with the exception of the author's signed inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The dust jacket is in solid shape. There are a couple of stains on the front cover and the spine is darkened. The flaps look very good. The jacket is not priced or clipped. From the dust jacket: 'A Metaphorics Of Fiction offers a contribution to the study of narrative logic and rhetorical language. It is relevant to the current critical seen as an effort to salvage formalist concerns for the materiality of the text without lapsing into a blindly ahistorical aestheticism. Finally, Singer asks his reader to revise many long-held assumptions about the status of narrative fiction these of the human action.'. Inscribed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 002979
