First Revised Edition published by Tor. Fine condition book in green boards with vibrant silver titles to the spine. The book has sharp corners, one very tiny tip bump, and no edgewear. The binding is very tight and square with the book still snapping shut when opened. SIGNED by Orson Scott Card to the half title page “to Rena – A child -rearing guide- / Orson Scott Card”. Small contemporary inscription to the title page. The end papers and internal pages are clean and crisp with the book appearing as unread and probably only opened for obtaining Card’s signature. Please see detailed images.
The original unrestored dust jacket is in Fine condition, still maintaining its original rigidity and vibrant colors. Please see the many detailed images.
A very handsome signed example of this classic rare book that presents nicely on the shelf.
