Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A sharp, collectible copy of David Sedaris' sixth collection of autobiographical essays, featuring many pieces first published in The New Yorker, Esquire, GQ, and heard on This American Life. The collection includes favorites such as It's Catching, Buddy, Can You Spare a Tie?, The Monster Mash, Memento Mori, April in Paris, and The Man in the Hut, showcasing Sedaris' trademark blend of self-deprecating humor, keen social observation, and unexpectedly poignant reflections.

Binding is square and tight with clean black paper-covered boards and yellow cloth spine, bright spine lettering, and clean interior pages free of writing or markings observed. Dust jacket is Near Fine, retaining its original price, with light shelf rubbing, a few superficial surface marks, gentle edge wear, and a small crease/wrinkle at the upper spine and upper rear corner. An attractive copy that presents exceptionally well in its original jacket. The copyright page states 'First Edition: June 2008,' confirming this belongs to the first edition. The number line reads 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3, with the lowest number being 3, identifying this as the Third Printing of the First Edition, rather than the first printing. One of the overlooked collectible aspects of this edition is its design. The jacket was designed by Chip Kidd, one of the most influential American book designers of the modern era. Kidd's iconic work for publishers including Alfred A. Knopf helped redefine contemporary book jacket design, and his original jackets have become highly recognizable among collectors. His pairing of Van Gogh's Skull with Cigarette with Sedaris' mordant humor creates one of the author's most memorable hardcover jackets, making even later first-edition printings attractive to readers and design collectors alike. David Sedaris (b. 1956) is among America's best-known humorists and essayists. A frequent contributor to The New Yorker and longtime storyteller on NPR's This American Life, he has built an international readership through collections including Barrel Fever, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and Calypso. His work combines autobiographical storytelling with razor-sharp observational comedy and has been translated into dozens of languages. Chip Kidd (b. 1964) is an award-winning graphic designer widely regarded as one of the most influential book jacket designers of the past four decades. Best known for his groundbreaking work at Alfred A. Knopf - including the iconic cover for Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park - Kidd has designed thousands of book jackets and authored books on graphic design. His ability to combine fine art, typography, and conceptual imagery has made his work highly collectible in its own right, with many readers specifically seeking editions featuring his original jacket designs.

First edition of this work unveiling the extraordinary stories behind seemingly ordinary books. Octavo, original publisher's cloth with gilt titles to the spine and front panel. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Foreword by Nicholas A. Basbanes. Jacket design by legendary designer Chip Kidd. In Provenance, Matthew Raptis, renowned rare book dealer and founder of Raptis Rare Books, examines how unassuming volumes can reveal extraordinary personal histories. Drawing on decades of experience in the rare book world, he reconstructs the lives and relationships of major figures in literature, politics, art, and culture through their books, highlighting what inscriptions, marginal notes, and private libraries disclose about intellectual habits, friendships, and inner lives. "Something we learn when studying provenance is that books, in a way, are itinerant pilgrims - they travel from place to place, and owner to owner, more often than not with stories to tell of their travels, a number of them you are about to enjoy in this book" (Nicholas A. Basbanes, Foreword).…
