IRVING, John. THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP. New York: E. P. Dutton, 
(1978). First Edition. National Book Award winner, made into a 
successful film. INSCRIBED "For Jerry" and boldly SIGNED on the half 
title page by the author, quite uncommon as such. Irving's signature, 
unfortunately, like Capote's and a few others, is often forged so what 
appear to be bargains are usually costly mistakes. Book has a small 
sunned area at the base of the spine. Dustwrapper quite nice with mild 
edgewear. Owner name and date at the top of the front free endpaper. 
Near Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper. 		$750.00
