[Charles Agvent]

Price reduced:    Was $3500   Now  $2500:

O'BRIEN, Tim. IF I DIE IN A COMBAT ZONE. New York: Delacorte Press, 
(1973). First Edition. O'Brien's first book, rather uncommon in the 
first printing, SIGNED by the author on the title page. Typical but in 
this case barely noticeable sunning to the very edges of the boards; 
unknown name, address, and date on the front pastedown completely 
covered by the inside flap of the dustwrapper. The date "March 1973" 
would make this a very early copy of the first edition as the 
publication date for this title was announced as 7 May 1973. The 
dustwrapper is complete but for a very tiny chip at the top front 
corner. The only other defects to the dustwrapper are mild wear to the 
head of the spine and a vertical crease down the inside front flap. Near 
Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper. A very attractive copy. (#010493)    
     $2,500.00
