Sobre este artículo
New York, NY.: The Seabury Press. Very Good. 1982. First Edition. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. This book is hard-bound in mauve colored paper covered boards, with black stamping to the spine, in a nice dust jacket with light toning to the edges of the flaps. The covers show light edge-wear, and light rubbing to the corners and spine-ends. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with illustrations. This book is signed/inscribed by Madeleine L'Engle on the half title-page. Laid-in at the front is a TLs (Typed Letter Signed) by Madeleine L'Engle. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. ; Signed by Author .
