An advance copy of the first edition, stated "Complimentary Copy / To be Published in January 1994 by Henry Holt / Not for Sale" on the front cover.
This copy signed in ink by the author. As his name has been mis-spelled as "Robert Olen BULTER" on the title page, the author, with a playful and perverse sense of humor, has similarly signed himself "Robert Olen Bulter" under the printed name. Very good .
