NY, Atlantic Monthly, (1997). The advance reading copy (identified by the publisher as an "uncorrected manuscript") of his first book, a Civil War novel and a publishing phenomenon: after a modest 25,000 copy first printing of the trade edition, the book eventually sold more than a million copies in hardcover and won the National Book Award -- a rare combination of literary and commercial success for any work of fiction, let alone a first novel. Fine in wrappers. [#915002] SOLD
