Description
Signed first edition of Morte D’Urban by J.F. Powers.
Octavo, 336pp. Black cloth, title in gilt on spine. Stated “First Edition” on copyright page. Solid text block, bumped corners, otherwise fine. In the publisher’s dust jacket, $4.50 retail price on front flap, faint shelf wear and a touch of soiling.
Signed by the author on the front flyleaf: “For Bev Cleary – J.F. Powers.” Likely inscribed to fellow author Beverly Cleary, though we cannot find any clear connections between the two authors to validate the association.
