Goodbye, Columbus.

First Edition of the author's first book and winner of the National Book Award. Signed by the author on the title page. With "A compliments of Houghton Mifflin" laid in. Most likely a review copy. Light wear, else near fine in the dust jacket that shows some moderate toning to the spine (less than normal). Housed in a custom quarter morocco box. Saul Bellow wrote upon review of Goodbye, Columbus, "Unlike those of us who come howling into the world, blind and bare, Mr. Roth appears with nails, hair, teeth, speaking coherently. He is skilled, witty, energetic and performs like a virtuoso." A great work by this prize winning author who has won virtually all the major literary awards extant; excluding the One. Overall a sharp copy, of a book no so common in nice condition.
