[1995-1999]. 1995-1999. A collection of approximately 50 authors' autographs, in the form of autograph notes signed, autograph postcards signed, typed notes signed and one signed bookplate, all obtained by a collector in the course of requesting that books be signed. Authors represented include: Julia Alvarez, Kristen Bakis, Jen Banbury, Nevada Barr, Dave Barry, Nicholas Basbanes (2), Madison Smartt Bell, Pinckney Benedict, Elizabeth Berg, Michael Cunningham (initials), Ellen Currie, Charles D'Ambrosio, Edwidge Danticat (3), Stephen Dixon (2), John Dufresne (2), Tony Earley, Jennifer Egan, Jeffrey Eugenides (2), Janet Evanovich, Nicholas Evans, Jonathan Franzen, George Dawes Green, Jane Hamilton, Ron Hansen, David Haynes, Julie Hecht, Peter Hedges, Ursula Hegi, Katherine Hester, A.M. Homes, Thomas Keneally, Andrew Klavan, Dennis Lehane, Jonathan Lethem, Frank Manley (2), Sharon McCrumb, Bradford Morrow (initials), Stewart O'Nan, Janet Peery, Marge Piercy (2), Jane Rubino (2), Richard Russo, Mona Simpson, Robert Skinner, Elizabeth Strout, Andrew Vachss, Susan Vreeland, Mary Willis Walker, Larry Watson (2), and Eric Zencey. An impressive collection: the collector wrote to these writers when most of them were young and relatively unknown; now they have several Pulitzer Prizes, National Book Awards, and an array of other literary prizes between them. About a dozen are without envelopes, possibly because they were included in book mailings. One of the two Dufresne signatures is on a split fold; otherwise the lot is fine. [#017713] SOLD
