A Fine copy, in a Fine slip case, of the limited first edition of which only 750 copies were issued, SIGNED BY JOSEPH HELLER. This copy remains in the Publisher's original shrinkwrap which has not been opened. Heller's sequel to his first novel, "Catch-22", the book consists of two interwoven stories, and, set in New York, revisits some of the "Catch-22" characters. (Heller made an error in this novel. In "Catch-22", set in 1944, the Yossarian character was 28. In this, the sequel, set in the 1990's Yossarian is 68, and the time at which Catch-22 was set is said to be "50 years ago"--which would, of course, make Yossarian 78 in the sequel). A Fine copy, in a Fine slipcase, still in the Publisher's unopened original shrinkwrap, and SIGNED BY JOSEPH HELLER.

THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AT A 55% DISCOUNT. A wholly unique MANUSCRIPT POEM WRITTEN AND SIGNED BY LAWRENCE DURRELL titled "On the Suchness of the Old Boy or a study of Umptiousness Incarnate", written on two leaves of heavy card stock (with Durrell's writing on all four sides and with the two leaves tied together with an elegant translucent and gold ribbon). TITLED AND SIGNED BY LAWRENCE DURRELL on the front and written out by him over the other three pages, being NUMBERED, WRITTEN, SIGNED, PLACED, AND DATED BY LAWRENCE DURRELL entirely in his hand. The poem was written by Durrell at Sommieres, a commune in the Gard department in southern France, for BBC Producer, Margaret McCall (to whom Durrell became very close after the 1967 death of his third wife, Claude-Marie Vincendon). TOGETHER WITH a Very Near Fine copy (corners bumped) of the double-signed edition of the poem published in 1972, being copy 137 of one of only 200 numbered copies signed by Lawrence Durrell and the artist, Sappho Durrell (Lawrence Durrell's daughter, Sappho Jane, named after the legendary Ancient Greek poetess Sappho, who committed in 1985) which were printed together with 26 lettered copies which were not for sale. Interestingly, the 1972 signed edition includes two extra verses that are not present in the original handwritten poem, and thus were obviously added by Durrell, likely in 1970 or 1971. (The published volume bears a copyright date of 1971 and a publishing date of 1972. That the poem is written mainly in black ink, with some additions in blue ink, it appears that Durrell added to the poem after writing the greater part of it. The poem is signed, placed, and dated by Durrell in brown ink.) Also of interest: the poem in published form lacks the subtitle "or a study of Umptiousness Incarnate".) While the 1972 Limited First Edition is relatively uncommon, the original 1970 Manuscript Poem is, of course, unique. RARE.
