Turow, Scott : The Laws Of Our Fathers

Farrar, Straus & Giroux, New York City, NY, 1996

ISBN 0374184232

First Edition / First Printing. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 533 pages. The author's fourth novel. One of the most important literary events of our time. Widely regarded as one of Turow's finest achievements thus far. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Scott Turow's "The Laws of Our Fathers". Scott Turow is to the legal thriller as John leCarre is to the espionage novel: A first-rate novelist who writes within a genre, is enormously popular, and has written some of the most formally complex works that they deserve to be taken seriously as literature. His greatest admirers believe he has produced an impressive body of work which will endure. An absolute "must-have" title for Scott Turow collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in blue pen on the title page by the author: "For Ron Barth, Thanks for your support of Literacy Chicago, Scott Turow 6.01". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, who is named, is a major supporter/donor to the Literacy Chicago project. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the finest American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SCOTT TUROW TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0374184232.
