1st Paperback Edition, 2nd printing. Fine in pictorial wrappers. Inscribed by Carver on the title page: ""For Ted and Renee Weiss, with admiration and good wishes. Ray Carver April 11, 1980 Princeton."" Ted Weiss was a poet and academic who was a professor at Princeton University. Ted along with his wife Renee were also the editors for the Quarterly Review of Literature. A very lovely association.
