The rare uncorrected proof in green wrappers. Very good condition. Much less common than the advance review copy in white wrappers. Contains the original 1997 invoice from Between the Covers, which listed the proof for $650 in 1997, when it was published. The book was an immediate success and the breakthrough bestseller for Irving.
