Please note that these books are in Victoria/Saanich ... not Port Alberni. Here is a rare book for that special person in your world. A perfect gift for Graduation or Christmas. Highly collectable from The Franklin Library 1978 edition. It is pristine, like new with the smell of a brand new book. Note: I have 18 other books in the same condition, signed by the authors from the Franklin Library collection. Let me know if there is a particular book or author you would be interested in. It is a leather bound book with 22k gilded edge pages and a silk page marker. It is a Limited Edition book that is personally signed by the author Philip Roth. It has never been opened or read other than to take the photograph of the signature. There are no stains, markings, scuffs, spills or odour. It has been kept in a glass case in a private estate. It is likely to increase in value if cared for and protected. Asking $20, but priceless to someone.
