A Novel. New York: Knopf 1998. First Trade Edition. Inscribed "For Genevieve/Anne Rice" on the half-title page. This (stated) first trade edition was preceded by the B.E. Trice limited/signed edition. It was also optioned as a Book-of-the-Month Club selection (a fact mentioned on the lower front dust-jacket flap); however this is NOT a Book-of-the-Month Club copy. 8vo boards & cloth. There is a small blemish to the rear cover: in an area perhaps a little over a square inch, involving a small skinned spot and a small amount of glue residue (a possible bindery mishap) otherwise the book is near-fine in a near-fine unclipped dj.

Price: $35.00
