*Singer, Isaac Bashevis*. *A Crown of Feathers* [Signed: Book, Proof, and
Award Speech. Each Signed, Two Association Copies, Two Advance Copies]. New
York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1973. First edition. A Near Fine copy of
the *first edition, first printing*, in a Very Good + dust jacket,* SIGNED*;
*TOGETHER WITH* the scarce *UNCORRECTED PAGE PROOF, SIGNED*; *TOGETHER WITH*
Singer's *NATIONAL BOOK AWARD SPEECH, SIGNED*; three signed items of, or
related to, Nobel Prize-Winning author Isaac Bashevis Singer's *National
Book Award-Winning collection of stories "A Crown of Feathers"*. The first
edition, first printing of the book is in Near Fine condition (spine ends
gently and lightly pushed, light surface rubbing at spine ends, top edge of
page block foxed, a few tiny spots of foxing to base and front edge of page
block, minor shelf wear and some minor marking to base of spine and board
bottoms), in a Very Good + dust jacket (minor edge wear, minor soiling to
rear panel, age toning at flap edges, remnants of price sticker to front
flap), and is INSCRIBED, SIGNED, AND DATED BY NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR
ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER TO FELLOW AUTHOR AND FRIEND DAVID MCCULLOUGH.
(McCullough twice won the Pulitzer prize -- for "Truman" in 1992 and for
John Adams in 2001.)  This is a PUBLISHER'S ADVANCE REVIEW COPY of the
Book, with the Publisher's review slip loosely laid in. The UNCORRECTED
PAGE PROOF in the Publisher's original blue wrappers is in Fine condition
(with a small spot on the rear wrapper), is housed in a custom box, and is
INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY SINGER on the front free endpaper to Burt "Britten"
(a/k/a "Burt Britton"): "To Burt and Kozby / Isaac B. Singer"; A Fine
Association copy. The NATIONAL BOOK AWARD SPEECH delivered by Singer in
1975 is in Fine condition, is housed in a custom box, and is SIGNED BY
ISAAC SINGER on the front page. (We presume this to be a contemporary copy
of the speech and not the sheets from which Singer actually read the
speech.) ALL THREE OF THE ITEMS OFFERED TOGETHER HERE ARE SCARCE TO RARE
and rather difficult to find. A remarkable collection of three items
related to one of Singer's important National Book Award-Winning books, two
of which are Association Copies, two of which are Advance Copies, and ALL
THREE OF WHICH ARE SIGNED BY ISAAC BASHEVIS SINGER. A REMARKABLE SET OF
ITEMS.  (#00002913)
