[Rarebooks] FS: Two Recent Acquisitions: First Editions SIGNED by John Irving

[Charles Agvent]

IRVING, John. 3 BY IRVING: SETTING FREE THE BEARS, THE WATER-METHOD MAN, 
THE 158-POUND MARRIAGE. New York: Random House, (1980). First Edition. 
INSCRIBED and boldly SIGNED on the front blank by the author: "To Mike: 
good luck with your novel----- John Irving." Near Fine in a Near Fine 
dustwrapper. (#017353)        $125.00

IRVING, John. THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP. New York: E. P. Dutton, 
(1978). First Edition. National Book Award winner, made into a 
successful film. INSCRIBED "For Charlie" and boldly SIGNED on the half 
title page by the author, quite uncommon as such. Irving's signature, 
unfortunately, like Capote's and a few others, is often forged so what 
appear to be bargains are usually costly mistakes. Very Good in a Near 
Fine dustwrapper. (#017352)        $500.00
