1971Best.-Nr. 772New York: Simon and Schuster 1971. Reissue with Author's Introduction. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. Presentation SIGNED by the Author 8vo beige cloth with an Introduction by the author Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket designed by Janet Halverson xxiv 566 pages. SIGNED Presentation Copy in excellent condition internally and externally of the author's important 1962 novel now reissued WITH HER INTRODUCTION a near-decade later. From my experience Lessing didn't like to sign copies of her works and signed copies of this her most noteworthy work are Scarce. The persona I knew tended to be hardheaded diffident and a bit crusty though she made the rounds on behalf of her publisher a few years before her death when I was fortunately able and very pleased to speak with her briefly and to obtain her signature. According to Elizabeth Hardwick "The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing's most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women"--The New York Times Book Review. A tight bright clean copy. Dust jacket has a bit of rubbing at extremities; Random House remainder stamp on bottom of pages. Simon and Schuster hardcover
