Sobre este artículo
New York City, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 248 pages. The author's second collection of short stories. One of Karen Russell's finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Karen Russell's "Vampires In The Lemon Grove: Stories". Her second, even more accomplished, collection of stories. "Russell's best book. With prose so alive it practically backflips off the page. Her invented worlds shed new light on the one in which we live" (Molly Antopol). An absolute "must-have" title for Karen Russell collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (shortly after publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Karen Russell 2.19.13". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. Russell signed on top of the page, making her signature even more prominent. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed and post-publication dated copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. Selected as one of the "20 Writers Under 40" of the decade by The New Yorker Magazine. Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant in 2013 on the basis of just two published books. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER KAREN RUSSELL TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0307957233.

Sobre Modern Rare
ModernRare.com is exclusively an online bookstore. We believe this is the best way to satisfy our customers' expectations. Unlike an open bookstore, where books are routinely handled and may deteriorate, we guarantee the condition of our books as described. We specialize in modern firsts, photography, the arts, and erotica. You will also find a fine selection of signed copies, limited editions, and memorabilia because our ultimate goal is to deepen the pleasure of collecting books. We carry titles that we ourselves like and believe in -- books that we think will excite, enchant, and endure.
