Description The real thing.  Only two other copies online as I add this.  On title page, as he did, David Foster Wallace has put a line through the author's name and signed his own full name in script in ink, leaving slight bleed through to copyright page.  Volume has cream outer edges and uncut page ends, with scarlet band over spine, stamped in silver with title, author, and publisher; cover blindstamped in small Little, Brown Logo in square.  DJ unclipped showing original $24.95 from December 2005 1st printing.  Two very slight crease or scrape marks on back cover, all protected in Brodart.  Could say VG/VG, but this one really is F/F.  Other Wallaces now at auction on my ebay site - bymeltkts Or currently on this site I also have a brand new copy of Lobster, looks great and exactly one above except for 1)  no signature, 2) it's 2nd printing with the "1" removed from the number line.   But bid was at $80 when I last checked, below the $580 for the signed 1st.  You can make an offer on eithe of these if you like.  I'm Jack - os5555@comcast.net     Place a Bid!
