Description
For sale: a rare very good first edition, later printing hardcover copy of Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. First Edition stated, 1996 Little Brown. Later Printing with number line and city code.
The book is in Very Good condition with bright boards with a 1/2″ faded strip along the bottom, strong, silver title gilt on the spine, tight binding, no spine tilt, lightly rolled spine ends, mild edge wear, and strong corners. The interior of the book is also in Very Good condition with a 2″ stain on the first free end paper, that bleeds through lightly on the next two pages, and is gone by the half title page. There are ten pages that had folded corners and are now straightened. No other marks or inscriptions. The interior pages are clean and bright, making it an excellent addition to any collection.
The dust jacket is in Near Fine condition with mild surface and edge wear, that looks great in a new Brodart archival wrap.
Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human – and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do.
Ships promptly in a corrugated mailer with the book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
