MICHENER, James. TALES OF THE SOUTH PACIFIC. New York: Macmillan, 1947.
First Edition. Michener's first book and winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
This copy with the typical browning to the paper though not as bad as
usually found. The endpapers and pastedowns at front and rear have some
foxing that does not enter the text. The dustwrapper has the $3.00 price
horizontally at the bottom of the front flap and is quite bright with
just a little edgewear at the corners and spine tips and no tears,
chips, or creases of any significance. You are not likely to find a
better copy, and anyone who tries to sell you a Fine/Fine copy should be
court-martialed. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper and very scarce as
such. (#011590) $3,500.00
