About the author: Gore Vidal was one of the most prominent American literary and political voices of the twentieth century, known for his novels, essays, screenwriting, and cultural criticism. His work remains sought after by readers interested in sharp satire, intellectual fiction, and modern American literature. Condition Very Good hardcover Good dust jacket. Clean, attractive vintage copy with light general handling wear consistent with age. Dust jacket shows mild surface wear and rubbing small rip on back. Pages appear clean overall. Important flaw: the previous owner’s name was cut from the first blank page, which impacts collector value and should be clearly shown in photos. This is the main condition issue and keeps the book from a higher grade. Still a solid and presentable vintage first-printing copy for reading, display, or collection.
