Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Yale University Press, New Haven, 1985. Hardcover. First Edition(Number Line to 1). Signed and inscribed by both Thornton Wilder's sister Isabel(who wrote the foreword) and by the editor Donald Gallup in the year of publication. 354 pages. Near Fine/very Good. No soiling on the covers. Very solidly bound. No issues there. Corners are fine. Spine ends are very good, there's a little softness/ bending at the tips. The page edges are very clean. The interior pages are very clean and white. No soiling, no wring, no markings, no creases. The DJ is rated Very Good. I think it presents well but there are minor issues. They are 1) a rubbing/scuffing that creates white spots and areas where the DJ color should be. Most of it is on the corner edges and the middle edges and the spine ends 2)tiny, tiny tears on the corners, and 3) a little darkening at the edges of the top and bottom rear flap. Look at all the photos. Zooming in is a good idea. You should come away with a clear picture of the book's condition. The DJ will be fitted with a protective cover after the book is scanned. Thornton Niven Wilder was an American playwright and novelist. He won three Pulitzer Prizes, for the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey and for the two plays Our Town and The Skin of Our Teeth, and a U.S.National Book Award for the novel The Eighth Day. 'Isabel Wilder, a novelist and a sister of the author and playwright Thornton Wilder published three novels in the 1930's: "Mother and Four" (1933), "Heart Be Still" (1934) and "Let Winter Go" (1937). In later years, she contributed introductions to several of her brother's posthumously published works, including "The Alcestiad" (1977), "American Characteristics and Other Essays" (1979) and "The Journals of Thornton Wilder 1939-1961" (1985), selected and edited by Donald Gallup of Yale University. In 1978, Miss Wilder provided funds to establish an annual prize through the Columbia University Translation Center for distinguished foreign translations of American literature. In 1993, the university renamed the center the Wilder Translation Center for Arts and Education. She also established the Thornton Wilder endowed writing prize in 1987 for talented high school students around New Haven.'. Inscribed by Author(s).
