[Rarebooks] FS: Advance Copy of William Gaddis's first book: THE RECOGNITIONS

[Charles Agvent]

GADDIS,  William.  THE RECOGNITIONS. New York:  Harcourt
         Brace (1955).  First Edition. Advance Reading Copy in printed
         wraps of  the  author's  first  book. Scarce  format  for  an
         uncommon  book,  this copy has slight creases at the  corners
         and a few  small stains to the bulked text edges. Any example
         of this  advance  copy in decent condition is remarkable  due
         to its  age and its bulky format. Very Good and quite  scarce
         in this advance format.                              $1000.00
