DANIELEWSKI, MARK Z.

Very scarce UK hardcover FIRST EDITION (200 copies in hardcover issued concurrent with the UK paperback), SIGNED, DATED & INSCRIBED by author on a visit to NZ (d/w is quite different to the US edition). Cased and stiched, blank boards, 709pp. new NEAR FINE in like d/w. PLEASE NOTE: the whole colophon is replete with metafictional misinformation: the first editions all state 2nd edition, with the fictional 'privately distributed' edition that the 'editors' of the Foreword allude to being the (ficitonal) first edition, etc.
