Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York, 1987.
First trade edition, first printing, with “First printing, 1987” stated on the copyright page. In the first-state dust jacket, identified by the 374-11534-6 ISBN on the rear flap (without the later-added initial zero). Rear flap also bears 1187/1945.
Very Good overall. Original dust jacket is attractive and retains strong color, with light edge/spine-end wear consistent with age. Hardcover shows minor shelf wear; page edges show some age toning/soiling. Please examine photographs closely, as they form part of the condition description.
An attractive first/first of Wolfe’s landmark first novel, complete with the first-state jacket.
