$100 · Offered by eBay

This listing is for a vintage First Borzoi Edition hardcover copy of 'Bosnian Chronicle' by Ivo Andrić, published in 1963 by Alfred A. Knopf. This significant novel is by the winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize for Literature. The book comes with its original dust jacket, which shows signs of wear, including tears and edge chipping, consistent with its age and ex-library status. The book itself is in good condition for an ex-library copy, with typical library markings, stamps (including 'DISCARDED' and 'PURCHASED AT PUBLIC SALE' from Carnegie Free Library, Ogden, Utah), and some light wear to the boards. The binding remains solid, and the pages are generally clean, though some show typical age-toning. This translation from the Serbo-Croatian is by Joseph Hitrec. A wonderful opportunity to own an early edition of a Nobel laureate's work.
