New York: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1986. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The twelfth novel by Purdy, whose stories are often about "outsiders" and who remains greatly under-appreciated in spite of considerable praise from America's literary establishment.

Text edges show light foxing, o/w boards and text are clean and unmarked, tight and square. The inside top edge of the dustjacket also lightly foxed, o/w dj shows only minor rubbing on back panel; no tears, no chipping or creasing, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
