The Chosen (Signed Copy)

First Edition/Stated Second Printing; A Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED and dated by the author to the front free paper. A handsome copy of this coming of age novel, set in 1940's Brooklyn; basis for both film and stage adaptations. This copy is in very good condition showing some light rubbing to the edges and some mild darkening to the spine; housed in a clean and bright very good or better dust jacket that shows some minor age-toning to the spine lettering and jacket edges, mild rubbing and chipping to the spine ends, edges, and corners, and some faint creasing to the flap folds. Overall, a presentable and collectible copy. Not remaindered, not price clipped ($4.95 intact), not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a new sturdy box.
