The white cloth-covered boards are a bit grubby along the top of the front panel, else a fine copy in a near fine to fine dust jacket. Signed by Toni Morrison on the title page. NB: The $18.95 price on the flap is not a point of issue. All copies of the first printing had that jacket. Copies without that price have been messed with by substituting a book club or a later printing jacket. Generally, I don't think it's a good idea to buy books that have been doctored and I definitely think it's bad practice to do business with booksellers who describe such items as anything but the Frankenbooks that they are (with parts of one book attached to parts of another).

Beloved is a 1987 novel by American novelist Toni Morrison. Set in the period after the American Civil War, the novel tells the story of a dysfunctional family of formerly enslaved people whose Cincinnati home is haunted by a malevolent spirit. The narrative of Beloved derives from the life of Margaret Garner, an enslaved person in the slave state of Kentucky who escaped and fled to the free state of Ohio in 1856.Garner was subject to capture under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, and when U.S. marshals broke into the cabin where she and her children had barricaded themselves, she was attempting to kill her childrenand had already killed her youngest daughterin hopes of sparing them from being returned to slavery. Morrison's main inspiration for the novel was an account of the event titled "A Visit to the Slave Mother who Killed Her Child" in an 1856 newspaper article initially published in the American Baptist and reproduced in The Black Book, an anthology of texts of Black history and culture that Morrison had edited in 1974.[1]The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction a year after its publication, and was a finalist for the 1987 National Book Award.[2][3] A survey of writers and literary critics compiled by The New York Times ranked it as the best work of American fiction from 1981 to 2006.[4] It was adapted as a 1998 movie of the same name, starring Oprah Winfrey. The book's dedication reads "Sixty Million and more", referring to the Africans and their descendants who died as a result of the Atlantic slave trade.[5] The book's epigraph is Romans 9:25.
