First edition in English, signed limited issue, number 4 of 350 copies signed by the author, printed on high-quality paper, and specially bound. It precedes the UK edition by a few months. The novel originally appeared in Colombia as El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985). In his review of the work, Thomas Pynchon noted that the translator Edith Grossman "catches admirably and without apparent labour the swing and translucency of his writing, its slang and its classicism, the lyrical stretches and those end-of-sentence zingers he likes to hit us with. It is a faithful and beautiful piece of work". Octavo. Original pink quarter cloth, spine lettered in gilt, black cloth sides, pink endpapers, fore and bottom edges untrimmed. With original printed acetate dust jacket and publisher's yellow card slipcase printed after the jacket design. Signed limitation leaf bound upside down. A fine copy. Thomas Pynchon, "The Heart's Eternal Vow", New York Times, 10 April 1988.
