First Book, Signed, in a Clamshell
The Gospel Singer
Publication: New York: William Morrow & Company, Inc., 1968. First Edition.
Notes: Crew's first book, one of 4000 copies, according to the Ahearn Author Price Guide.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing). A very good copy with a small stain on the top edge and thinning spots on the endpapers from erasures. The jacket is very good to near fine with minor wear to the edges. Blue endpapers from a reaction to the glue and light, as always. Nicer than usually found. Signed by Crews on the title page. Housed in a custom black-cloth clamshell box from the Tom Garner collection.
