Viet Thanh Nguyen - The Sympathizer
SIGNED first edition/first printing
Grove Press, 2015. Hardcover with dustjacket, this is the actual first edition - with the correct ISBN and the number line that starts with 15 16 17 - and NOT the later pre-signed edition that is often misidentified as a first edition. In first state dustjacket.
SIGNED on the full title page by Mr. Nguyen in my presence at the 2023 L.A. Times Festival of Books on 4/22/23. Copyright page contains the statement "FIRST EDITION" and the full number line 15 16 17 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1.
The book is in NEAR FINE condition: tight binding, sharp corners, with some light pressing to the spine ends (see photos). The dustjacket is in NEAR FINE/VG+ condition, with some light bumping at the spine ends - mostly the foot of the spine - and to a couple of corners, and a tiny nick on the spine above "THANH" (see photos).
I am a book collector and I always pack my items VERY WELL for shipping to ensure that they arrive in the same condition in which they leave me. I am more than happy to combine shipping for multiple items! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
