"We have two lives... the life we learn with and the life we live after that": First Edition of Bernard Malamud’s Classic First Book The Natural; Signed by Him
First edition of the author's first book, and one of the greatest baseball novels of all time. Extremities slightly faded, else near fine in the gray binding [one of three red, blue and gray, with no priority established] in a near fine dust jacket that shows just a touch of soiling. Inscribed by the author: "For Brad Arnold with sincere good wishes Bern Malamud Christmas, 1955 Corvallis, Oregon." Housed in a custom half leather clamshell box.
"A brilliant and unusually fine novel" (The New York Times).
