Available this week for $4500 NET.

KNOWLES, John. A SEPARATE PEACE Inscribed to Photographer Arnold Newman. 
New York: The MacMillan Company, 1960. First Edition. Author's first 
book, made into a film. In the more commonly encountered second state 
dustwrapper with reviews printed on the front and rear panels and with 
the corners of the inside front flap clipped, not affecting the price. 
This copy with photographer Arnold Newman's SIGNATURE on the front 
endpaper with the notation "autograph" and INSCRIBED and SIGNED to 
Newman by the author on the title page: "To Arnold--/With hopes that 
I/didn't ruin 'your'/photograph, since it [sic] sure/to be a work of 
art--/with admiration--/John Knowles/New York - Feb. 6, 1964." Surely a 
reference to the photograph taken by Newman and used on the front cover 
of the dustwrapper of Knowles's 1964 book DOUBLE VISION: AMERICAN 
THOUGHTS ABROAD. When this title is found signed, and it seldom is, it 
is usually in a larger, later hand and rarely to anyone of any note. Red 
ink mark at the base of the spine of both the dustwrapper and book. Near 
Fine in a Very Good, lightly stained dustwrapper with corners clipped 
but the price present. (#015481)     $6,000.00
