The Bender / A Sad Comedy (SIGNED)

Scott, Paul / author of 'The Birds of Paradise'

Published by William Morrow & Co., New York, 1963

About this Item

First edition indicated by the lack of any statement of edition to copyright page, as per the publisher's 1947 and 1976 statements. Thus, the first American edition, first printing, 1963. Inscribed "To Toby" and signed by the author (full name with middle initial) to title page, apparently in pencil. Signed copies somewhat scarce. The unclipped dust jacket is lovely with only a few small spots of foxing to front flap. The book will close its own text block and thus would usually grade "very good," but shows brown nitrate tape ghosts to endpapers and outside of boards, where some earlier dust jacket protector was once taped down. There are NO signs of library attachments, stampings, or other depredations. Earlier novel by the author of "Jewel in the Crown" and the rest of the Raj Quartet. A droll comedy. Reduced from $570.
