[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED First Edition of John Cheever's First Book

[Charles Agvent]

CHEEVER, John. THE WAY SOME PEOPLE LIVE. New York: Random House, (1943). 
First Edition. Author's superb first book, a collection of short 
stories. This copy is SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper and is 
fairly scarce as such. Minor wear to the spine head; otherwise, the book 
is fine and bright without any of the gutter darkening typical to this 
title. The spine of the dustwrapper has minor wear to the heel with 
chipping to the head just extending to "The" on the spine and to the 
edges of both panels. The rear panel is soiled, as usual, and the front 
panel is very attractive. The dustwrapper retains the original printed 
price. All in all, a nice example. Near Fine in a Very Good dustwrapper 
without any restoration whatsoever. (#014926)        $5,000.00
