Signed in the Year of Publication
The House on Mango Street
Notes: One of the most important and popular books in the Chicano literary canon, a collection of connected short stories. One of just 500 copies (according to the publisher).
103 pages.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). Very good in wrappers (paperback), bumped at the bottom of the spine, with a few stains on the edges. This is the earliest signed copy I have encountered. It is inscribed by the author on the dedication page, "Por Robert Sosa, con esperanza [female sign], Sandra Cisneros. April 20, 1984. San Antonio, TX."
This copy is housed in a green canvas chemise in a black-cloth clamshell box.
