NY, Knopf, 1992. The uncorrected proof copy of the first volume of the Border Trilogy, a landmark novel that won both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and propelled its author to literary celebrity after nearly three decades of writing well-received novels in relative obscurity. This is the second state proof, which is identical to the first state proof except that the printed subtitle "Volume One of A Border Trilogy" has been changed by hand to "Volume One of The Border Trilogy." A later state made this change in print. Fine in wrappers, with a publisher's complimentary card laid in. [#027660] SOLD
