London, Harvill, (1995). An advance copy of the first British edition, consisting of tapebound sheets in printed cardstock covers, of the second book in Ford's three-book Frank Bascombe sequence. Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award. Signed by the author. Printed text on the front cover indicates that the "text is not the final version," and, in fact, this text does seem to be an earlier state than that of not only the British trade edition but the U.S. edition as well. The text does seem to match that of the British advance reading copy. Approximately 8-3/8" x 11-3/4". Photoreproduced name on front cover; dusty rear cover; else fine. An uncommon view of an earlier state of the text of a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. [#911204] $1,000
