Former owner of this book listed it as signed by Styron. Brunk Auctions questioned the signature.

Book has only light, general wear with some minor toning on foredge. Jacket has some light edge and corner wear with some small scuffs along the bottom edges and extremities. Book is signed on title page in a somewhat shaky hand. The former dealer who owned this copy said that it was signed. Brunk Auctions was unwilling to state that unequivocally. It appears to me that it is likely a signature from Styron's later years when he was ill. I am not pricing the signature into this copy, so you may be getting a signature for free. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 507 pages; Signed by Author View more info
