About this Item
Inscribed first edition of one of McPhee's best books, an account of a single tennis match played between Arthur Ashe and Clark Graebner. Legendary NEW YORKER staff writer and longtime Princeton University professor, John McPhee is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Wallace Stegner Prize, and was twice nominated for the National Book Award. About McPhee's work, journalist Robert Macfarlane has written: "McPhee's sentences are born of patience and attention: he seems to possess a pair of eyes with the swivel, zoom and reach of a peregrine falcon's, and a pair of ears with the recording ability of a dictaphone. He notices almost everything." A beautiful signed edition from one of our greatest nonfiction writers. 8'' x 5''. Original publisher's full red cloth. In original price-clipped color pictorial dust jacket designed by Janet Halverson. 152 pages. Inscribed by McPhee on title page: "To Paul Sullivan /with warm regards / John McPhee." Very faint toning to jacket. Some spots of soil and wear to cloth. Some staining to edges of front and rear endpapers, unobtrusive. Else clean and sound. Very good plus in very good plus jacket.
