Hardcover. First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper with the slightest of toning at the spine. The author's very scarce first book, almost always found quite worn. A Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship Award winner, as well as winner of the National Book Award and basis for the film directed by Larry Peerce and featuring Richard Benjamin and Ali McGraw. A lovely copy.
