Author: TOM WOLFE.
Title: The Bonfire of the Vanities. A novel. (INSCRIBED)
Description: Jonathan Cape, London, 1988. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). First UK Edition (first printing), issued a year after the considerably more common US edition. This copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper with his splendid flowing penmanship. 8vo. 659pp. Black boards lettered in gold at the spine. A trace of light toning to the leaf margins, else a fine copy in dust wrapper, clipped and re-priced by the publisher, lightly creased at the head of the spine panel, and with perhaps a shade of fading to the publisher's orange spine panel lettering. A superb inscribed copy of the author's first novel, perhaps the quintessential novel of the 1980s (signed and inscribed copies of this UK edition are much scarcer than the US edition). Near Fine/Near Fine.
