NY, Farrar Straus Giroux, (2006). Winner of the National Book Award. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Together with a promotional postcard for the Picador edition, signed by Richard Powers on verso, and dated March 5, 2008. Powers spoke that evening as part of the Seattle Arts & Lectures series, and included here are a ticket to that event, the program for that event, and the program for that series' season. Powers is famous for not signing his books; he has claimed that he began with a disinclination to sign books and later felt that he was committed to the practice/policy; as far as we know he has never signed a book, not even for friends or family members, so this is the closest one can get to a book signed by him, and has impeccable provenance.
