Description: Lahiri, Jhumpa - Interpreter of Maladies - Mariner Books / Houghton Mifflin: Boston, 1999 - First Edition / First Printing - Complete number line, starting with “1”, present on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. “While the astronauts, heroes forever, spent mere hours on the moon, I have remained in this new world for nearly thirty years. I know that my achievement is quite ordinary. I am not the only man to seek his fortune far from home, and certainly I am not the first. Still, there are times I am bewildered by each mile I have traveled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as it all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination.” The book has some very minor shelf wear to the edges. The covers are not curled and are not creased. The spine likewise remains uncreased. The binding is square and very firm. The text block is beginning to tan as are nearly all copies of this book due to the quality of the paper stock. While it is impossible to say if a book this age has ever been read the indications are that this one likely wasn’t, or if it was, it was read with the utmost care. This title was released as a paper back original and this edition precedes all others including the hard cover which did not come until more than a year later. Lahiri’s first book and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award. Increasingly uncommon, especially in this condition. All books are offered with a full 30 day postage paid return policy. All books which are in dust jackets will be mailed with a clear archival dust jacket protector fitted. Shipping costs can be combined if multiple purchases are made. Items will be packaged and shipped within one business day unless otherwise noted. Please always feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
