The Secret History by Donna Tartt First Edition, Signed
About the Item
Among the most iconic and best-selling novels of the 1990s, American author, Diana Tartt's first novel is set at an elite liberal arts college in Vermont (Think: Bennington) and established Tartt as one of the most critically-acclaimed prose stylists of her generation.
This fine copy is complete, including the original acetate cover, a brilliantly original detail by the Knopf designers Chip Kidd and Barbara de Wilde. Prior to publication, the book was the subject of nearly unprecedented industry buzz, so instead of the typical order of 10,000-20,000 copies, the publisher ordered 75,000 copies.
Tartt's other novels, The Little Friend and The Goldfinch were also massive international bestsellers.
Signed by the author on the title page, this copy has never been read and remains in excellent condition.
