Description
Description This is a first edition and first printing of Norman Maclean's A River Runs Through It. The copyright is by The University of Chicago 1976. This book contains the error of the word always on page 27. There is one small ink mark beside the third paragraph on page 50. There is also an inked in name and date inside. The dust jacket is not price clipped and does not state an edition (making it a true 1st/1st). There is normal shelf wear, yellowing to the spine on the dust jacket and a small water spot on the dust jacket. This is an awesome price for this edition of this book.

This book I have listed does not list an edition,making it a true first edition. Publication: 1976.The dust jackets fade with exposure to UV light, and often suffer chips and minor tears. The first edition dust jacket, even though printed on heavier stock than subsequent printings, seems to be fragile for it’s age. The relative scarcity of this book is primarily due to book low quantity printed, and owners holding on to the book with no intent to sell it.The book that I am listing is a true first edition first printing. It is not priced clipped The dust jacket shows some yellowing on the spine, along with a small wrinkle and one water spot at the top of the book between the names "Norman Maclean on the front of the book and "Norman Maclean" on the spine. This is the only spot. The inside first page has the name James Marsh St. Louis Mo. 1976 inked onto it. Page 60 has a small ink check mark at the third paragraph. This book is in very good condition.
