Ecco Pr, 2008. Hardcover. Fine. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT. SIGNED BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. This is the TRUE FIRST EDITION. Book in FINE/FINE condition. Review I flat-out loved The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, and spent twelve happy evenings immersed in the world David Wroblewski has created. As I neared the end, I kept finding excuses to put the book aside for a little, not because I didn't like it, but because I liked it too much; I didn't want it to end. Dog-lovers in particular will find themselves riveted by this story, because the canine world has never been explored with such imagination and emotional resonance. Yet in the end, this isn't a novel about dogs or heartland America--although it is a deeply American work ofl literature. It's a novel about the human heart, and the mysteries that live there, understood but impossible to articulate. Yet in the person of Edgar Sawtelle, a mute boy who takes three of his dogs on a brave and dangerous odyssey, Wroblewski does articulate them, and… Read More

New York, U.S.A.: Ecco Pr, 2008 This is a slightly confusing issue; the 'true first printing' was in June, and that has no top line on the jacket and was issued with a different ISBN. This second state of the first edition - I said it was confusing! - was rushed out with four changes, but with the same publishing number line. It differs by having a different ISBN number and the words 'NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER' across the top of the jacket, and an Oprah's Book Club seal attached at the bottom right hand corner. The third difference is with the text block. This is the issue with a trimmed leading edge. So, the true first is the one issued in June, with an untrimmed leading edge and no additional lines on the jacket. However, this is therefore a more affordable 'first' than the true first. It contains, of course, the same utterly wonderful and beguiling story. The author has signed this on the title page. The jacket is protected. No former owner marks, but I guess this might… Read More
