NY, Knopf, 2009. The uncorrected proof copy. Inscribed by the author "For ____ - with great pleasure in meeting you after reading your blog! My best wishes, Abraham Verghese 2/11/09," the month of publication. Cutting for Stone was well-received, a bestseller, and made numerous "Best of" lists. The proof is uncommon, not to be confused with the advance reading copy in pictorial wrappers. Near fine in wrappers. [#033050] SOLD
