About this Item

As New. Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Library, 1979. Limited First Edition. Includes the somewhat-uncommon 8-page 'Notes from the Editors', with Roth's portrait on the back. Illustrations by Robert Heindel. Also, prior to pagination, 'A Special Message to the members of The First Edition Society' from Philip Roth, with his signature laser-printed thereon. Octavo, 159 pp. Full rich deep red leather, gilt decorated and imprinted, spine panels rib divided, pale pink moire endpapers, All Edges Gilt, with pale pink satin page-marker ribbon. An example of Franklin's always-lavish bindings, the limited and true first edition of 'Ghost Writer', the first title in Roth's tragicomic 'Zuckerman Bound' trilogy (those titles being narrated by one of Roth's alter-egos, Nathan Zuckerman). 22 k gilt at all page edges, 65-pound Franklin Library Eggshell Wove White book sheet, 11-Point Bembo typeface. The Franklin Library, doing what they did best. As New; pristine and flawless. As bright, tight and immaculate as it was on its first day in 1979. Please review scans. The separate Notes from the Editors (which itself has just a very faint top area creas [scan] ) is somewhat scarce. See all scans. L-frnkln3. Seller Inventory # 61534
