Price reduced to $5000 NET

CATHER, Willa. DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP. New York: Alfred Knopf, 
1927. First Edition. Original green cloth with the first printing error 
on page 20. SIGNED by the author on the front free endpaper and quite 
scarce as such. There was a Limited Edition of 175 numbered and signed 
copies, but one rarely comes across a signed trade edition of this 
classic of American Literature. We found only two copies appearing at 
auction in the last 25 years, the Pforzheimer copy in 1987, inscribed to 
Carl Pforzheimer, and another inscribed copy in 2006. The present copy 
is signed only and on an integral sheet of the book, not on a piece of 
paper added later. Contents clean and fresh; covers bright with sunning 
to the spine and darkening of the spine label. Very Good or better, 
lacking the scarce dustwrapper. (#012326)        $7,500.00
