Description:Signed by Author. Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 250...Signed by Author. Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 250 pages. Fine in Fine dust jacket. The author's breakthrough debut collection of short stories. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a very small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now very scarce. A beautifully produced book by Stephanie Tevonian, the book interperses Edward P. Jones' fourteen short stories with full-page, black-and-white portraits and urban landscape photographs by Amos Chan. Presents Edward P. Jones' brilliant debut. "Beautifully and economically written, the stories are filled with revealing details of poverty and degradation, and yet the protagonists are survivors who look to find hope and meaning in their lives. The haunting, grainy black-and-white photographs add to the real atmosphere and reveal the underlying grit portrayed so evocatively in the prose" (Library Journal). An absolute "must-have" title for Edward P. Jones collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Edward P. Jones. He underlined his signature for emphasis. This title is now highly collectible. This is the one of very few signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. We have not seen a more beautiful signed copy of a book that is often available online with major flaws. A rare signed copy thus.
