SIGNED Presentation Copy in excellent condition internally and externally of the author's important 1962 novel, now reissued WITH HER INTRODUCTION a near-decade later.
From my experience, Lessing didn't like to sign copies of her works, and signed copies of this, her most noteworthy work, are Scarce. The person(a) I knew tended to be hardheaded, diffident, and a bit crusty, though she made the rounds on behalf of her publisher a few years before her death, when I was fortunately able and very pleased to speak with her briefly and to obtain her signature.
According to Elizabeth Hardwick, "The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing's most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women,"--The New York Times Book Review.
A tight, bright, clean copy. Dust jacket has a bit of rubbing at extremities; Random House remainder stamp on bottom of pages.
