A Canadian, First Edition, Second Printing copy. Margaret Atwood has signed this copy on the title page. The dust jacket is missing. The book is very good, with square and tight binding, all pages in tact with no corner folds, rubbing to the book margins and spine, as is typical. A very pleasing copy. Images available upon request. Signing event provenance laid in.
