Item description from seller

Revised second edition INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR AS WELL AS SIGNED BY THE ILLUSTRATOR. [8], 234, [2] pages. Hardcover: H 21cm x L 15.75cm. Dust jacket rubbed; slight bumping to spine head. Black cloth spine with vibrant metallic red stamped lettering; dark gray boards. Laid-in between pages 24-25 is a bookmark for Jackson, Mississippi's Lemuria Bookstore featuring the shop's book-signing schedule for July 1989 with Ellen Douglas and Bebe Wolfe appearing Saturday, July 15th and thus presumably this is where and when this copy was signed. Title page has author's two-line black ink inscription "To Bebe Rodgers | Ellen Douglas" (with Douglas' smudged ink correction inserting a "d" to "Rogers") at top margin with illustrator's black ink signature "Elizabeth Wolfe" immediately written underneath her printed name near page center; several leaves have shallow creases at their fore-edge corners; interior pages are otherwise bright and clean. Rear board is slightly offset from binder's production flaw but binding itself is firm. A very good copy in a very good+ dust jacket. BLACK CLOUD, WHITE CLOUD was first published in 1963 by Houghton Mifflin-The Riverside Press. This revised second edition, issued as the second book in University Press of Mississippi's Author and Artist Series, features the addition of b/w illustrations by artist Elizabeth Wolfe, daughter of Karl Wolfe and Mildred Nungester Wolfe, as well as the short story "Hold On" being "slightly different from the version that appeared in the original edition" (as stated upon the copyright page). {Shelf#4-MsAuthorsBox1} ISBN 087805393X.
