It's been five years since we sold our first book, and when I think about those of you who've become out most loyal customers, I am intensely grateful. We needed you to trust us and be willing to try something new, and you did. Your word of mouth - good and bad - brought new customers to our store and dueled the passionate talk over late-night take-out food that made us want to work harder. By way of thanks, I wanted to introduce you to a truly great writer, if you're not already familiar with him. My wife and I went to one of Ethan Canin's readings six years ago in New York, and we've been pressing The Palace Thief into the hands of friends ever since. The hardcover edition is out-of-print, but Ethan and his publisher helped us arrange this special thank-you print run. Heartfelt thanks and happy reading. Jeff Bezos." Fine in a fine dust jacket. Rare signed by Bezos.
