Wilder, Thornton
Heaven's My Destination
|
Harper & Brothers, NY 1935 - Autographed 1st Edition in very bad shape. Front cover is there, but has fallen off. No dj. However, it is valuable due to the autograph by Wilder. It was his gift to The Saybrooke College Library. It is dated with a long inscription. The autograph is great, and can easily be lifter out to matte with a picture or another book. Any questions? Ask. The inscription reads "For the Saybrook College Library: with the best wishes of Thornton Wilder, Jan. 1936. "Well, it's all sort of poetical and sentimental, Mr. Brush, but it's all very unlike the facts of life". p.244" This last sentence is a quote from the book, pg. 244, and the entire page is in Wilder's own hand. Wilder is a 3 TIME PULITZER PRIZE WINNER AND THE ONLY WINNER FOR BOTH FICTION AND DRAMA. Email Scan available upon request. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Hard Cover]
