Item Info

 

ALLENDE, Isabel

The House of the Spirits

First American edition. Translated from the Spanish by Magda Bogin. Fine in near fine dustwrapper with two short tears, and a little age-toning. Laid in is a note from a Knopf editor sending the book to author Nicholas Delbanco, noting the typesetter's error that determines the first edition, and noting this as "A rare first edition, with a slight typesetter's error... to make it even more precious in years to come." The author's first book, with definitive proof of a previously unknown issue point.
