NY, Simon & Schuster, 1960. The first book by the author of Ragtime, among many others, who has won every major literary award in this country and whose multi-volume fictionalized history of New York City is one of the most ambitious and successful ongoing literary achievements of our time. Signed by the author. Pages darkening with age, as usual -- according to a note from Doctorow dating from the mid-Sixties, copies of this book were already showing their age through the browning of the paper; otherwise a fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with a small edge tear at the front spine fold. Probably the nicest copy we've seen of this cheaply made book. From the collection of Bruce Kahn.   [#911029] SOLD

All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.
