** 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINTING ** First Edition, First Printing. Octavo (approx. 9" x 6"). 400 pages. Original vibrant yellow cloth boards with crisp black stamping to spine. Original illustrated dust jacket designed by Don Bergh. Printed on clean recycled paper. True first printing with "First edition / First printing 1995" explicitly stated on the copyright page. Condition: Fine / Fine. An immaculate, investment-grade copy of the author's legendary debut novel, which won the 12th Annual FC2 National Fiction Competition as judged by William T. Vollmann. A seminal, polyphonic masterpiece of contemporary American postmodernism and ecofiction, this title has achieved a massive cult status due to its highly experimental narrative structure and the total public anonymity of its author. In pristine, gift-quality condition. The bright yellow cloth boards are exceptionally clean and uniform, entirely free of handling smudges, finger soiling, or edge wear. Corners are sharp and un-bumped. The spine is perfectly flat, rigid, and uncreased, with all black lettering and graphics dark and entirely unrubbed. The binding remains square, firm, and tight; the text block has never been over-flexed and retains its original resistance to opening. Internal pages are bright, stark white, and smooth, completely free of foxing, toning, moisture stains, corner creases, or reading wear. A few small nicks in the bottom fore edge of the textblock (very minor) No prior owner signatures, bookplates, or markings of any kind. The Dust Jacket: In equally flawless Fine condition. The yellow spine panel is remarkably bright and uniform, showing absolutely none of the sun-bleaching or fading that heavily plagues surviving copies of this edition. Edges are completely smooth with zero chipping, tearing, or crinkling at the head or foot of the spine. The laminate is fully intact across all panels, completely free of surface scratches, buckling, or lifting. The jacket fits tightly and cleanly around the hardcover boards. A spectacular, collector-grade copy of a monumentally important and scarce piece of modern avant-garde literature, appearing virtually as new. Unclipped dust jacket. Binding remains sturdy and square, no wear to boards, internally clean and fine. Rare and scarce, protected in archival mylar. This copy was purchased new and only had one owner. Enjoy.…

Through the use of a prismatic storytelling form, The Lost Scrapbook finds a contemporary answer to the 19th century novel, evoking an entire world in all its richness and diversity. But by embodying the sense that we can best understand our world through witnessing the interworkings of whole communities, it is also something altogether new: The Lost Scrapbook may be the first "holistic" novel.
