From the Publisher
How can anyone not love a book that simultaneously tells a deeply moving and compelling story AND explore the abortion debate with humor and evenhandedness? John Irving is my favorite author and while A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY is my favorite Irving title, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is right up there. I love how deeply Irving knows these characters and how gradually he reveals their quirks and idiosyncracies. He knows and loves them so much, the reader can't help but love the ether-imbibing Dr. Larch and his surrogate son, the orphan Homer Wells. Irving is a consummate storyteller.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Beautiful oversized signed edition of one of Irving's most compelling tales. This is copy #701 out of a total of 795 in the edition. The book itself is in exceptional shape; the spine of the clear acetate dust jacket has some sun fading, but the book itself is intact. The slipcase has two or three very minor scuffs -- no real damage. Overall, exceptionally handsome and well preserved for a book now 40 years old. Signed by Author(s).
