Roth, Philip The Ghost Writer
New York Farrar, Straus and Giroux 1979 Book Club Hard Cover Near Fine Very Good
Near fine copy of book club edition in very good Brodarted dust jacket. Book bumped at top of spine and sunned along top and bottom edges of boards and spine. This book must have had an odd existence. It is an unread, very tight copy of the BCE, but it was damp at the lower back blue cloth board at some point and it bled to the inside back of the dust jacket. There is some blue bleeding on the lower inside jacket, also. The dust jacket is fair because of the staining and sunned spine, some rubbing to edges, chipping to corners and a few sharp indents to the front cover. 180 pp.
