About this Item
1st Printing. Signed. 417 pages. Published in 2003. The author's twelfth novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Jane Smiley's "Good Faith". One of her very best novels. "Opening a Jane Smiley novel is like slipping into a warm bath. Here are people we know, places where we grew up. But the comforting, unassuming tone of her work allows Smiley incredible latitude as a writer, and her books are full of surprises. Penetrating, readable fiction by one of our best writers and social critics" (Regina Marler). An absolute "must-have" title for Jane Smiley collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the title page by Jane Smiley. 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: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 for "A Thousand Acres". One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JANE SMILEY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0375412174.
