Beschreibung

8vo 8" - 9" tall; 861 pages; [SIGNED Presentation Edition] 1951 Charles Scribner's Sons. HC/DJ. 1st edition, 1st printing. One of the specially signed copies issued by Scribner with Jones' signature on a numbered limitation leaf at front, though the total number of these "presentation" copies is not specified and was at least 1200. This copy numbered 277. Binding is shelf cocked in the spine and shaken with front hinge tender, though sound. Prior owner bookplate to front pastedown. Endpages with light offset toning at front edges. Jacket shelf rubbed and worn at edges with rubbing and furring to the front flap fold. An unusual period reinforcement to the rear of the jacket along the front flap fold and top of the spine area done with proprietary labeled adhesive paper tape from the Pickwick Bookshop of Hollywood. The pictorial dust jacket element of the trumpet was apparently used as a form to trace with indent from the trace visible on the blank reverse of the jacket. Jones' breakout 1st novel received the National Book Award and was the basis for the Academy Award winning film of the same name starring Clift, Lancaster, Fonda, Reed and Kerr. This copy of the special Signed Presentation edition is reader and shelf worn but in the original dust jacket and still a decent and shelf attractive example. G++/G+.
