First edition

New York: Viking, 1988. First edition. An uncorrected proof copy in plain blue wrappers, with a page of blurbs which appear on the back panel of the hardcover inserted. Tail of spine has a 3/4 tear, and the sheet of blurbs was once stapled to the FFEP, and staple marks show through to the title page. Still a clean and tight copy.
