The Farmer's Daughter

NY: Grove Press. (2010). The advance reading copy (marked "uncorrected proof") of this collection of three novellas. An unaccountably uncommon advance copy. With the increasing digitization of the publishing process, physical advance copies (sometimes misleadingly referred to as "galleys") have sporadically and unpredictably become much scarcer than they tended to be in the less-virtual past. Fine in wrappers, with blurbs by Jennifer Egan and Anthony Brandt on the rear panel, and one discernible change to the front cover ("Jim" is centered over "Harrison" here; in the published version the names are flush left). Softcover. Fine.
