[Rarebooks] FS: Signed First Trade Edition of Willa Cather's DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP

[Charles Agvent]

CATHER, Willa DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP
Alfred Knopf New York 1927 First Edition Original green cloth with the 
first printing error on page 20. SIGNED by the author on the front free 
endpaper and quite scarce as such. There was a Limited Edition of 175 
numbered and signed copies, but one rarely comes across a signed trade 
edition of this classic of American Literature. Only one copy has 
appeared at auction in the last 25 years, the Pforzheimer copy in 1987, 
that being inscribed to Carl Pforzheimer. The present copy is signed 
only and on an integral sheet of the book, not on a piece of paper added 
later. Contents clean and fresh; covers bright with sunning to the spine 
and darkening of the spine label. Very Good or better, lacking the 
scarce dustwrapper.    $7500.00
