Still fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or tears or toning. The author's highly acclaimed masterpiece, that won the 2007 National Book Award, Oprah Book Club Pick, and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. A father and son walk alone through a dark, burned America, "each the other's world entire," and are sustained by love. Scarce in two-tone copper and black boards, with copper lettering. A sharp collectable copy.
