About this Item

The work was designed to commemorate both the fiftieth anniversary of The Naked and the Dead (1948), and Mailer's seventy-fifth birthday. Norman Mailer edited the anthology himself, choosing to organize the content not by the chronology in which the pieces are written, but the chronology of the events that the works describe. This copy has a complete number line from 2 to 9 with the words First Edition printed below which for Random House books of the period denoted a first edition, first printing; it is signed by Norman Mailer on front end paper with no inscription and shows normal wear with some scuffing to the book boards and some damage to the rear, top corner-- see photo. The price-intact dustjacket is in clear mylar covering and the book will be carefully wrapped and boxed for safe shipping.
