by Tartt, Donna
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Fine in the original acetate cover, unclipped ($23.00). Clean pictorial boards. Square and firmly bound, clean internally. A remarkably fresh copy of Tartt's debut novel that became an instant bestseller. "Hugely ambitious and compulsively readable, this is a chronicle of deception and complicity, of Dionysian abandon, of innocence corrupted by self-love and moral arrogance; and, finally, it is a story of guilt and responsibility.
