Add to basketRandom House, NY, 1967. Book condition: Very Fine. Dust jacket condition: As New. First Edition, stated "First Printing" of the Random House hardcover edition. 8-1/2" tall, 430 pages; one-piece black cloth binding; bright gilt spine lettering and decoration, gilt author's facsimile signature on front cover, small orange decorations on spine and front cover; medium brown end pages; untrimmed fore edge; reddish-brown top stain. Book is square, hinges tight, no edge dings, both upper corners lightly bumped; head and heel of spine very slightly bumped; fore edge has about 15 small tan-to-brown "spots" (none penetrate more than 3mm). Interior is pristine: it is clean and unmarked; no page corners folded or damaged; no staining or discoloration. Bright red-orange dust jacket designed by Paul Bacon (illustrator); it has a crease the entire height of the rear flap, 3/4" from edge; jacket has no fading--it is very difficult to find a copy of this title with a dust jacket which does not have spine fade; this jacket is very bright, tight and fully intact; unclipped with a price of "$6.95" on upper right corner of front flap and "10/67" on the lower corner. No other discernible or objectionable faults on book or jacket such as marks or writing within, stains, tears, chips, or other damage that would diminish its appearance. No remainder mark, no previous owner markings or inscriptions, not price clipped, not a book club edition, not a former library book. Book and dust jacket appear in fine, unread condition. Signed in thin black felt tip pen by Styron, in what appears to be a very unsteady hand, to half-title page beneath the title. "The work of William Styron, which includes novels such as 'Sophie's Choice' and 'The Confessions of Nat Turner' has generated both praise and controversy over the past fifty years. Grounded in history and epic in sweep, his fiction has grappled with some of the most harrowing events and unresolved moral questions of our time. He combines a concern for history and the fundamental needs of a healthy society with personal exploration to consistently create writing of intense depth." - American Masters. Styron's fourth & most controversial novel, about a slave uprising in 1831 Virginia, is told in the first person. In spite, or perhaps because, of, the storm of controversy surrounding this novel, it was a Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
