NY, Random House, (1974). The uncorrected proof copy of the third novel by the author of The World According to Garp and A Prayer for Owen Meany, among others. A few light marginal pencil markings in the text, and the page numbers of them written on the inside rear cover; apparently a reviewer's notes. Spine slant, and paperclip imprint on the front cover; else fine in wrappers. A scarce proof, predating the era in which proofs have routinely been collected, and offered for sale in the rare book market. Few copies of this proof have ever turned up on the market, to the best of our knowledge. [#032780] SOLD
