First Edition, First Printing, SIGNED by John Fante on a laid in signature. An attractive copy of this original dustjacket without the ubiquitous fading to the spine found on most copies. This rare dustjacket is vibrant in color, with minor chipping to the spine and edges. The book is in amazing shape and appears UNREAD. The binding is tight and the boards are crisp with light wear to the edges. The pages are exceptionally clean, with NO writing, marks or bookplates in the book. A beautiful copy of this true first edition with the original first issue dustjacket.
