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

[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. We found only one copy appearing 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. (#012326) $7,500.00
