IRVING, John
A Prayer for Owen Meany

NY, Morrow, (1989). The trade publisher's limited edition of what may be Irving's best-loved book -- a substantial claim for a book by the author of the also much-loved The World According to Garp. A portion of this book was the basis for the film Simon Birch. One of 250 numbered copies signed by the author. Fine in acetate dustwrapper and slipcase. There was also a Franklin Library edition, which preceded the publisher's editions and a signed limited edition produced by the Book of the Month Club, but this edition is by far the scarcest of them and the most desirable.

All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.
