About this Item

First Printing with the correct points: First edition printed on the copyright page with the correct BCDE. Near Fine in a Good+ Dust jacket. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. The dust jacket has the price of $7.95 intact. Hint of sunning on the spine; closed 1 inch tear on the lower front spine edge. Now in a new Mylar sleeve and presents well. The novel captivates readers with its ingenious narrative structure, presenting itself as an abridged version of a fictitious classic by S. Morgenstern. This metafictional approach adds layers of humor and whimsy, inviting readers into a world where true love, daring swordfights, and revenge plots unfold against a backdrop of colorful characters and mythical kingdoms. Goldman s witty prose navigates effortlessly between the tale of Princess Buttercup and her beloved Westley, and his own commentary on the supposed original text s quirks and digressions. The result is a narrative that feels both classic and refreshingly modern, appealing to readers of all ages with its blend of adventure and wit.
