Lonesome Dove (Signed), Larry McMurtry
|
First Edition/Early 3rd Printing. 1985. Signed by McMurtry on the second front free end paper below the Simon & Schuster colophon. This is a very handsome copy of McMurtry's masterpiece--tight, square and bright with no spine give at all. Very minor foxing to page ends all around--almost inperceptable. No other internal flaws--or would be near fine. Dustjacket is unclipped first state-- just lightly rubbed from shelfwear, a little crinkled at spine ends--but not torn--else also would be near fine. "None" for "done" on page 621 as called for. This is a very good collectable copy--conservatively graded by a picky McMurtry collector. Protected in a BrodArt jacket cover.

General Information On Grading and ConditionVery Fine (VF) The highest grade given to any copy, very fine is a term that describes a crisp fresh copy and it admits no flaws. "As New" is considered a term with the exact same meaning as "Very Fine"--even though "Very Fine" is the general acceptable term according to the "First's Magazine" Quick Reference Guide.
Fine (F) A copy that is without visible flaws, but one that may lack the pristine crispness of a very fine copy. A book that is graded "fine" has had excellent and loving care. Any minor blemish in the book or the dust wrapper must be noted in the description.
Very Good (VG) The most common grade given to a collectable copy, very good means exactly what it says. A very good copy is no longer fresh; it has been handled and shows some signs of wear, but it is still sound and appealing. Flaws such as ownership signatures, bookplates and remainder marks will be noted in the description, along with rubbing, chips and tears, and price-clipping in dust wrappers.
Note: The term "Near Fine" is used seldomly but in most cases should be considered as having equal meaning to "Very Good". 100% Satisfaction GuaranteeWe want to be your internet bookseller.
