Modern Library FIRST Printing THEM by Joyce Carol Oates

Description: From the front flap: “Winner of the National book Award and in print for more than thirty years, THEM ranks as one of the most masterly portraits of postwar America ever written … A novel about calss, race, and the horrific, glassy sparkle of urban life, THEM chronicles the lives of Wendalls, a family on the steep edge of poverty in the windy, riotous Detroit slums.” 546 pgs.Collectors’ Corner: The book has a Toledano 17 cover, C or Bernhard endpapers, and an r jacket. The copyright page states “2000 Modern Library Edition” and the list of numbers on the copyright page includes all digits 1 through 9. These pointers indicate a 1st printing of this volume in the ML series.The book is in at least very good condition. The cover is clean with no signs of wear and the gilt it bright. Fanning the pages in both directions, I noted no writing or underlining, no offensive odor, and the binding is so firm to indicate the book is unread. The unclipped dust jacket ($19.95) is otherwise complete with no chips, no nicks, no edgewear and no soil. See photos.
