NY, Knopf, 1992. The uncorrected proof copies, all three states, of the first volume of the Border Trilogy, a landmark novel that won both the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and propelled its author to "instant" literary celebrity -- after nearly three decades of writing well-received literary novels in relative obscurity. The first state proof prints "Volume One of A Border Trilogy" on the front cover. In the second state, the printed subtitle is changed by hand to "Volume One of The Border Trilogy" and a "4" is added to the publication date of May 1992. The third state makes these two changes in print and also changes the text correspondingly on the summary page. All three volumes fine in wrappers. [#911225] SOLD
