About this Item

McDowell, Obolensky New York. 1958. First American Edition, first printing. SIGNED by JP Donleavy directly to the first half-title page. Aside from Mr. Donleavy's signature he also added year and location of the signing: Austin, Texas 1976. A VG++ copy that is tight and clean. Would grade near fine if not for two corners that show a most gentle wrinkle to cloth at corners. Light, faint toning along endpaper edges and a small faint cloud to topstain. Original $3.95 price intact on DJ flap. DJ backstrip is bright red. DJ shows light scuffing and some rubbing along edges; small chip to edge on rear. This is JP Donleavy's first book and a modern day classic. Originally published in paperback by Olympia Press in Paris in 1955. Three years later it would be printed in nardcover in the USA; in a revised edition. This is that offering; aka the First American Edition; first printing. Signed and dated by JP Donleavy in Austin, Texas; 1976. A beauty!
