A beautiful signed first edition of Wallace Stegner's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, Angle of Repose. Widely regarded as one of the greatest American novels of the twentieth century, it remains a cornerstone of Western and literary fiction.
Published by Doubleday in 1971, this is a true first edition, first printing, signed by Wallace Stegner on the half-title page. The original dust jacket is not price-clipped, retaining the publisher's $7.95 price, and is protected in a removable archival Brodart cover.
The book is in exceptional condition. The green cloth binding is bright and unfaded with crisp gilt lettering, the pages are clean and fresh, and the binding is tight and square. The dust jacket shows only light handling with a few small closed tears and minor edge wear, presenting beautifully overall.
Signed first editions of Angle of Repose are increasingly sought after, particularly in this level of preservation. An outstanding copy for collectors of Wallace Stegner, Pulitzer Prize winners, and modern American literature.
