The Collected Library: Summer Reading

8vo. Original blue cloth-backed boards, spine lettered in silver (a tiny marred area on upper cover, fore-corners slightly bumped); dust jacket.

FIRST EDITION, in a FIRST ISSUE DUST JACKET with 8 reviews on the rear panel, with the last review name being misspelled, "Vollman" for "Vollmann." Wallace's postmodern encyclopedic novel employs an unconventional narrative structure and an experimental use of endnotes (some 388 in all).
