CIMARRON ROSE - Scarce Fine Copy of The First Hardcover Edition/First Printing: Signed by James Lee Burke - SIGNED ON THE TITLE PAGE

Descripción

1st Printing. Signed. 278 pages. Published in 1997. The author's sixteenth novel. One of James Lee Burke's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the American Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents James Lee Burke's "Cimarron Rose". His beloved masterpiece. "A beautiful writer. His descriptions are glorious. One can almost see the ghost of Billy Bob's partner, feel the Texas thunderstorms, and see the town of Deaf Smith" (Library Journal). Firmly labeled as a "mystery writer", James Lee Burke is an American literary treasure, and more than any other living "mystery writer", his novels completely inhabit and transcend their genre at the same time. An absolute "must-have" title for James Lee Burke collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by James Lee Burke. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: The author stopped doing public signings since his arthritic condition worsened in recent years, making signed copies of his books highly collectible. Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. The American Limited Edition is priced as much as $350, as though it were the true first, which it is not. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American novelists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JAMES LEE BURKE TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0752804863. N° de ref. del artículo 10167
