Owner's name on front end paper, strip of tape inside front cover. Lovely red-haired Hilary Craven wanted to die.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 312 pages. Published in 2002. The author's fourth novel. Peter Cameron's finest achievement thus far. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly the British Edition. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Peter Cameron's "The City of Your Final Destination". His masterpiece. A "sublime, beautiful novel. Concerns true love and a young academic's struggle to break free from a life he has molded, but doesn't want to live. Cameron is an able storyteller, and his command allows the prose to flow simply and beautifully. Every word counts" (Michael Ferch). "Cameron's capacity to portray emotions and interpersonal communication seems limitless. The good guys, the bad guys, and the landscapes of rural Uruguay, collegiate Kansas, and a New York City unseen by one character for forty years become quickly and convincingly known to the reader" (Library Journal). By now, it has become a banality to say of a writer like Peter Cameron that he is underrated and underappreciated, by readers, that is, who should know better because each of his books comes with genuine, sincerely felt praise from fellow writers, who do know better. The basis of the brilliant film adaptation by James Ivory, with an all-star cast in Anthony Hopkins, Laura Linney, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Omar Metwally. An absolute "must-have" title for Peter Cameron collectors. This copy is very prominently, neatly, and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Peter Cameron. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page or the bookplate that his British publisher thoughtfully supplied (in lieu of signed copies for British readers). This title is a great book. This is one of few such title-page signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER PETER CAMERON TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374281971. Signed by Author.
