A Theory of Semiotics 19th Century Literature

A Theory of Semiotics 19th Century LiteratureBloomington: Indiana University Press, 1976 First edition. First printing. The first edition in hardcover and in the English language, published almost immediately following the Bompiani release in softcover. Inscribed by the author on the title page: A Tom affettuosamente Umberto. Light scratching to the back board, but otherwise a near fine copy. The dust jacket very good only with general wear and tear. An early milestone in Ecos career, which

The Paper Chase was written while Osborne was himself a Harvard Law student

A lovely example overall of Doctorow’s debut novel

with a bit of sunning to the spine

with very slight rubbing to the spine

A bit of toning to the contents as usual

A near fine copy just with a slight lean to the spine

A beautiful volume with meaningful provenance

A touch of loss to the head and heel of the spine

in a near fine dust jacket

with virtually none of the sunning usually found on the spine - and very uncommon as such

and a testament to the enduring popularity of Walton’s work over centuries

with Rowling's illustrations throughout
