NY, Pantheon, (2002). Inscribed by Bell to George Garrett: "For George, who did so much to make it possible for me." With the signature of George Garrett on the title page. A notable association copy: Bell studied with Garrett at Princeton University, where he was an undergraduate and Garrett had a writing workshop, and he became, in Bell's words, "one of the hundreds of people whose careers he [Garrett] has started and fostered." Bell, who won four awards for his fiction at Princeton and graduated summa cum laude, was doubtless one of Garrett's most successful students. A couple of tiny stains at bottom of the text block; else fine in a fine dust jacket. [#027535] SOLD
