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

[Charles Agvent]

CATHER,  Willa. DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP. New  York:  Alfred
Knopf  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
