First edition, first printing. Signed by John Grisham on the half title page. Bound in publisher's ocher paper-covered boards over maroon spine cloth lettered in gilt. Very Good with lean to binding, wear to spine cloth and rubbing to gilt lettering. Foxing and soiling to textblock edge with light staining sporadically throughout contents, hinge at recto of rear free endpaper is over-opened. In a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with minor edge wear, a faint crease to the rear panel and toning to blindside. The bestselling author's debut novel. Signed editions are increasingly scarce.
