New York: David McKay, (1974).
Sold
Hardcover. Second edition. Fine in a partially spine-faded, near fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author on the front fly: "To Reg – Merry Christmas! Michael Shaara. Dec. 1974." With the bookplate of the recipient. Shaara was something of a difficult personality, and very seldom signed books. Because of the perfect binding, an ill-fated experiment by the publisher to lower production costs, this book is virtually always cocked, a flaw this copy does not exhibit. Basis for the movie *Gettysburg* and easily one of the very best and most beloved novels of the Civil War. It was also a surprise winner of the Pulitzer Prize. One of very few signed copies of this title that we've seen.
