A BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original quarter black cloth over paper covered boars with gilt and red titles to the spine, in the Janet Halverson designed dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some rubbing and a little fraying at the head of the spine. The contents are clean throughout, the closed text block edge just a little dusty and spotted. Complete with the original dustwrapper that is a little nicked and creased at the head of the lightly faded spine, and has two very short closed tears to the top edge of the upper panel. Not price-clipped ($8.95 to the lower corner of the creased front flap).

Signed by Joan Didion in black ink on the front endpaper. The author's third novel.
