Good first edition both signed on the half-title page AND inscribed on the title-page by Margaret Atwood. Binding square and tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Some bumping and wear to spine ends. Pages 189 to 218 creased due to a binding flaw. Near fine jacket. Not price-clipped. Slight creasing to top of front fold, minor bumping to spine ends. No tears of any kind. Overall an intriguing first edition both signed AND inscribed by Margaret Atwood.
