"a big, bitter, funny, craftily plotted book that grabs you by the lapels and won't let go."~ New York Times Review 1987
 
A near fine copy of the sought after Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York 1987 Signed Limited First Edition, this copy being #43 of 250 copies, signed by Wolfe with a flourish on the limitation page.  Hardcover. Large 8vo; 659 pages; A beautifully produced volume in the publisher's attractive grey cloth boards with facsimile signature to the front and gilt and silver stamped titles and decoration to the spine. A bit of foxing to the outer page edges and slight softening to the spine tips. The paper slipcase is in fine condition with just a tiny nick along the bottom edge. A very collectible and increasingly scarce signed limited edition of the Tom Wolfe 1987 bestselling novel about ambition, racism, social class, politics, and greed in 1980s New York City.
