MAILER, Norman
The Naked and the Dead
First edition. Edges of the boards worn, a very good copy in good dustwrapper with some chipping mostly near the crown, and some edgewear. A curious copy, which, as it came to us, features an "overjacket" homemade from brown wrapping paper, addressed to New York Times Book Review critic, Thomas Lask. Lask has made a small note on the rear flap about a mistake in the text. The author's fragile first book, a stunning debut which ranks among the best American war novels ever written. Burgess 99.
