8vo., 391pp. Beautiful First Trade Edition, Stated First Printing of Carver's last anthology, published shortly before his death. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. Equally attractive unclipped duct-jacket, ($19.95), has a shallow crease along the lower rear panel and a touch of toning to the spine. Still fresh and bright with no chipping or tears. Inscribed and signed generically by the author directly on the half-title page, "With good wishes, Raymond Carver". Because he passed so soon after publication, signed copies particularly of the trade edition, are uncommon and becoming more so. A sharp collectable copy at a great price.
