NY, Farrar, Straus & Giroux, (2004). First edition thus: Malamud's Pulitzer and National Book Award winning novel, here with a new introduction by Jonathan Safran Foer. Foer's subject is the difference between a good book and a great one. Signed by Foer on the title page, where he has added "Introduced by" between the title and his signature. Only issued in wrappers, this copy has a tiny indent and slight splaying to the front cover; very near fine. From the collection of Greg Gatenby, the director of an annual Toronto literary festival, and with Gatenby's signature as well. Scarce in the first printing and signed. [#029923] SOLD
