A fine first edition (so stated on the copyright page, no list of numbers in the back) in a fine dust jacket with the original price of $7.95 but with a period instead of an exclamation point at the end of the first paragraph on the front flap, so second issue jacket. Housed in a custom-made collector's slipcase.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is a landmark 1967 novel by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez that tells the multi-generational story of the Buendía family, whose patriarch, José Arcadio Buendía, founded the town of Macondo, a fictitious town in the country of Colombia. The magical realist style and thematic substance of One Hundred Years of Solitude established it as an important representative novel of the literary Latin American Boom of the 1960s and 1970s, and it is considered Márquez's magnum opus.
