This copy is unnumbered. Pink printed wrappers with blue tape spine as issued. This copy has the yellow publishers publicity sheet affixed to the front wrap. Because of the unusual size and manufacture of this proof, it seems unlikely more than a handful were produced. Winner of the Edgar Award, ultimately it seems likely that this will be the book for which Hillerman is best remembered.
Gilt spine lettering a little tarnished else very near fine lacking the original unprinted tissue.
Signed by the author. A very uncommon issue. Items which are still available may also be found via our search page.
